- Display the extracted VIN and confidence score.
- Offer to immediately decode the VIN using the vehicle-specs skill.
- If the image quality is poor or the VIN can't be extracted, suggest the user try a clearer photo with better lighting and angle.
- If the API key is missing, tell the user to set the
CARSXE_API_KEYenvironment variable (see AGENTS.md).
