Claude Image Annotation Plugin
Capture screenshots and apply visual annotations — arrows, text callouts, boxes, highlights, numbered markers, and privacy redaction — on Linux, all from the CLI. Plus batch conversion to WebP and bundling into PDFs for tutorials and bug reports.
Designed for screenshot-and-annotate workflows: documentation, tutorials, bug reports, and step-by-step guides.
Originals-clean rule
This plugin never modifies your source images. Annotations land in <dir>/annotated/<stem>_annotated<ext>, redactions in <dir>/redacted/<stem>_redacted<ext>, WebP conversions in <dir>/webp/<stem>.webp. Your originals stay untouched unless you pass an explicit --in-place flag (where supported).
Skills
- install-deps — run the bundled
setup-env.sh to install ImageMagick, Pillow, img2pdf, cwebp, and the right screenshot backend for your desktop.
- screenshot — capture fullscreen, region, active window, or delayed. Auto-selects spectacle (KDE), grim+slurp (wlroots Wayland), or flameshot (fallback).
- annotate — apply arrows, boxes, text, callouts, highlights, and numbered markers via a JSON spec. Pillow-backed.
- redact — privacy-focused pixelate/blur/solid-fill of regions, with EXIF strip. Pixelation is the default and is non-recoverable.
- capture-and-annotate — one-shot orchestrator for "grab this and circle it" workflows.
- batch-to-webp — bulk-convert images to WebP, lossy or lossless, with originals untouched.
- batch-to-pdf — bundle annotated images into a single PDF (lossless via img2pdf when installed).
