Agent integration

The preferred image workflow is agent vision → concise product evidence → identify API → candidate verification → raw pricing. Use the image understanding already available in Muse or the calling agent. OCR is optional, not an API dependency or a required connector step.

Reusable skill

Read or download the TCG Identify skill. It includes the image extraction rules, request example, ambiguity handling, pricing boundaries, and quota behavior. It is a standard SKILL.md with name and description frontmatter; it is not automatically installed by visiting this page.

For agents with skill discovery, copy the tcg-identify folder into the host's supported skill location. For hosts using connector/tool instructions, adapt the same workflow to their supported format and configure the API base URL. Do not assume Muse accepts a particular skill upload format; confirm its submission contract separately. The agent needs its own image-reading capability and an HTTP tool or connector capable of calling the endpoints.

The minimal extraction contract

Send one blob per item. Include the actual printed title, exact legible collector number, game/set/language, and visible variant clues. shape:"ocr" also covers text read by an image-capable model. Use hints only for reliable facts. Keep rules-text character names, artist names, and seller overlays out of the title. Ask for a clearer photo when decisive characters are unreadable; do not fabricate them. Verify returned candidates against the original image before quoting value.
