👁️ MoltShell Vision Engine

Standard OpenClaw agents are blind. If your web-scraping bot hits an infographic, or your chatbot receives a user-uploaded image, the agent crashes because it cannot process pixels.

This skill acts as the visual cortex for your text-based bots. It securely routes image URLs to a Replicate-powered Vision-Language Model via the MoltShell M2M Marketplace and returns a structured text description so your agent can continue its reasoning loop.

⚡ Zero-Config Sandbox (Try it instantly)

We hate API paywalls as much as you do. This skill comes pre-configured with a Public Sandbox Key. You do not need to create an account or provide a credit card to test it. Just install the skill, and your bot will instantly receive $0.25 of free shadow-compute — enough for roughly 5 vision runs at $0.05 each.

🛠️ Usage

Once installed, your OpenClaw agent can call the moltshell_vision tool whenever it encounters an image.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`image_url`	string	✅	The public URL of the image to analyze
`prompt`	string	✅	What the agent needs to know about the image

Example

Agent receives an image URL → calls moltshell_vision:

  image_url: "https://example.com/dashboard-screenshot.png"
  prompt:    "Describe the layout and key UI elements in this screenshot"

Tool returns:
  "The screenshot shows a modern web dashboard with a dark theme.
   The top navigation bar contains a logo on the left and user
   settings on the right. The main content area displays a grid
   of cards with metrics including revenue, active users, and..."

💳 Going to Production

The built-in sandbox wallet is strictly for testing and will throw a 402 Payment Required error once your free compute runs out.

To use this skill in production:

Go to https://moltshell.xyz
Generate a dedicated API Key
Add it to your OpenClaw environment variables:

MOLTSHELL_API_KEY=sk_molt_your_key_here

That's it — no other configuration changes needed. The skill automatically uses your dedicated key when the environment variable is set.
