# Visual Intelligence Integrate your app with iOS Visual Intelligence to let users find app content by pointing their camera at objects. ## When This Skill Activates - User wants camera-based search in their app - User asks about visual search integration - User wants to surface app content in system searches - User needs to handle visual intelligence queries ## Overview Visual Intelligence lets users: 1. Point camera at objects or use screenshots 2. System identifies what they're looking at 3. Your app provides matching content 4. Results appear in system UI Your app implements: - `IntentValueQuery` to receive search requests - `AppEntity` types for searchable content - Display representations for results ## Platform Availability (WWDC26 297) - Visual Intelligence runs on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS — the same entities, query, and OpenIntent code works unchanged on all three. Handle both **camera captures of physical objects** (iOS) and **screenshots of digital media** (iPad/Mac) as input. - On Mac, the input pixel buffer can be **much larger** than what you'd encounter on iPhone — consider whether resizing is necessary before matching. ## Quick Start ### 1. Import Frameworks ```swift

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills --skill visual-intelligence --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills, a repository with 589 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
