What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of manually capturing photos by letting you command an IoT board camera to take a still image and save it as a ready-to-use JPEG file.

Core Features & Use Cases

• One-shot photo capture to JPEG: Takes a single picture and writes it under the storage root for immediate use (e.g., reporting a condition or logging evidence).
• Configurable output and warm-up: Lets you choose a safe filename and optional subdirectory, plus discard warm-up frames before saving for more consistent results.
• Hardware-first safety check: Ensures the board hardware information includes a camera by requiring the board_hardware_info skill before execution.
• Strict execution and error surfacing: Runs exactly one camera script for the turn and directly reports any script error without retrying.
