configuring-vision

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

The user wants to connect an LLM or vision provider, already has an API key, asks "can I use OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini/OpenRouter", wants local Ollama, or needs different cheap and strong models. Use this to configure provider-neutral visual understanding without tying Watch Skill to one agent or model vendor.

Configuring vision

Watch Skill's agent surface and model backend are separate choices. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, framework agents, and REST clients all call the same engine; the engine can send selected frames to any supported vision provider.

Supported providers

bash

watch-skill setup-vision --provider anthropic --api-key <KEY>
watch-skill setup-vision --provider openai --api-key <KEY>
watch-skill setup-vision --provider gemini --api-key <KEY>
watch-skill setup-vision --provider openrouter --api-key <KEY>
watch-skill setup-vision --provider ollama

Prefer a key the user already has. Do not claim Ollama is required, and do not ask the user to reveal a secret in chat. They can set the matching environment variable or run the command privately in their terminal.

Route bulk work and verification separately

One model can serve both tiers:

bash

watch-skill setup-vision --provider openai --api-key <KEY> --model <vision-model>

Or use a cheaper model for scene descriptions and a stronger model for uncertain answers and loop critiques:

bash

watch-skill setup-vision --provider openrouter --api-key <KEY> \
  --cheap-model <fast-vision-model> --strong-model <strong-vision-model>

Add

--verify

to make one live probe call. If it fails, report the structured error and its

fix

; never echo the key.

No provider is also valid

Without a vision API, Watch Skill still acquires video, reads captions, runs local transcription and OCR, indexes evidence, and searches it. Visual synthesis degrades to timestamped evidence instead of guessing.
