What problem does it solve?
Many terminal users, especially over SSH, cannot easily view high-resolution images or plotting output inline; this Skill provides a reliable way to display saved plots and images directly inside a Kitty terminal without an X display.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Kitty image protocol integration: Uses Kitty remote control and kitty +kitten icat to render images in a dedicated pane.
- Persistent image server pane: Launches or reuses a separate Kitty pane running a small Unix-socket server so images can be pushed repeatedly without disrupting the main TUI.
- Fallbacks and transformations: Falls back to timg when Kitty is unavailable and optionally inverts colors using ImageMagick convert for visibility adjustments.
- Use Case: After running a script that saves a plot, send the saved file path to the viewer to inspect results inline without leaving the terminal workflow.
Quick Start
Run scripts/show_image.py /path/to/image.png to open or reuse a Kitty image pane and display the specified image.
