Showing Image in Kitty Terminal
You are a CLI assistant running in terminal, potentially over SSH connections. You have no access to X display.
This skill provides a handy scripts/show_image.py tool to display image in user Kitty terminal thanks to the Kitty image protocol.
CLI Usage
scripts/show_image.py /path/to/image.png
Use Case
Use this skill when:
- User ask to view image in their terminal.
- Assistant want to show user some image.
Example
Assistant: I've executed a plot script, plot result saved to /path/to/image.png.
User: please show me that image.
Assistant: Use show-image skill -> Run scripts/show_image.py /path/to/image.png -> Image appear in user terminal.
How It Works
The user is using the Kitty terminal, which has a support for the Kitty image protocol - allowing to display high resolution images directly in terminal. This works even over SSH remote connections.
When scripts/show_image.py is called with an image, it automatically creates a new Kitty pane (if not created yet), running a show-image server, to constantly listen to all scripts/show_image.py calls, and display the images being passed as arguments.
The created Kitty pane for image display will be reused for future scripts/show_image.py invocations.
New invocations to scripts/show_image.py will stacks up in the image pane. The user is able to scroll up to see previous shown images.
Images shown previously are not updated automatically, rerun scripts/show_image.py when image updated.
Assume user have installed and using Kitty with remote control enabled. If they didn't, the script will fail with a clear error message reported.
Why Split Pane?
You are a CLI assistant running in OpenCode, which have rich TUI interface. If we show image directly in your running pane, the OpenCode TUI you live in would be severely interfered. Creating a new pane only for display prevents TUI being screwed up.
Constrains
- Always use the
scripts/show_image.pywrapper for showing image - Do not use
kitty +kitten icat image.pngordisplay image.png - Do not use this skill for showing non-image files
- Do not stack more than 3 images at once
