 "page_title": "How to let text-only DSH agents describe images through a vision fallback with DSH Crew",
 "summary": "Use the multimodal bridge so DSH workers can describe images by calling DeepSeek's vision model or an installed CLI.",
 "who": "A developer whose DSH workers need to read screenshots or diagrams, but whose DSH models are text-only.",
 "problem": "DSH's models cannot read images, so a worker given a screenshot or diagram has no way to understand it.",
 "outcome": "The worker calls describe_image, which uses DeepSeek's VL model when a key is available or falls back to a CLI or OpenAI-compatible API, and returns a text description.",
 "steps": [
  "Install and start the plugin: `dsh plugin --profile web add @zseven-w/dsh-crew@latest`, then `dsh web`",
  "Open Settings → DSH Crew and review the multimodal bridge and custom provider settings",
  "Add an OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Base URL, API key, models) under Custom Providers if you want one, then run its connectivity test",
  "Dispatch a worker with an image path and ask it to call describe_image on that image",
  "Check that the returned text description matches the image content"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the dsh-crew repo (ZSeven-W/dsh-crew), dispatch a worker that calls describe_image on <image-path>. Expected output: a text description of the image. Verify the connectivity test for the configured provider passed before relying on the result.",

 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "describe_image prefers DeepSeek's VL model when a key is available, so the behavior depends on which keys and CLIs you have configured.",
