Camera Capture Skill

⚠️ Stub Skill: This is a placeholder for future camera functionality.

Current Status

Camera capture is not available on this device/node. This skill is a stub marking a future expansion point for the multi-node architecture.

When Camera Will Be Supported

Camera functionality will be implemented when:

1. A companion node with camera capability is connected
2. The user explicitly grants camera permissions
3. The device has an accessible camera API

Planned Features

Capture Image

Capture a single image from the default camera.

Not implemented - returns "Camera not available on this device"

List Cameras

List available camera devices.

Not implemented - returns "Camera not available on this device"

Multi-Node Architecture

In the future, camera requests can be routed to a companion node (e.g., a phone or Raspberry Pi with camera) using the node_capability: camera metadata.

Example routing flow:

1. User says "take a photo"
2. Gateway checks for nodes with camera capability
3. If found, routes request to that node
4. Node captures image and returns it

Notes

• Camera access requires user consent
• Images should be stored with proper privacy controls
• Consider thumbnail generation for previews
• Support for both front and back cameras (on mobile devices)
