camclave: a consent-gated webcam skill for Claude Code and Codex

camclave captures single still frames from a webcam for Claude Code or Codex, and only while a red on-screen window shows the camera is on. The agent can read a multimeter, check whether an LED is lit or watch a 3D print's first layer. Stopping the session deletes the captures. The 17-second demo shows the agent reading 4.96 V DC.

Briefing

The user types camclave start to turn the camera on; the agent never starts a session itself. Each capture returns a PNG path that the agent opens with its own image tool, and the preview window flashes and beeps on every capture. The code writes no video. A snapshots mode saves a frame at a set interval for long tasks, overwriting one file.

Sessions time out after 15 minutes by default, with a hard cap of 60 minutes, and the reason given for each capture goes into an audit log.
