What This Skill Does

A CLI tool that sends images, videos, and documents to VLM Run's Orion visual AI agent using natural language prompts. Supports object detection, OCR, image and video generation, and document extraction. Sessions can be continued across multiple interactions to preserve context and generated artifacts.

Processes visual content and generates images or videos from the command line without writing any code, with session continuity that retains generated artifacts and conversation context across follow-up prompts.
