Platforms count differently and update at different times.

What this skill does

Encode text, links, or other data as a QR image, or decode codes from PNG, JPG, and screenshots. Generation and reading use different Python dependencies, and decoding also depends on platform zbar setup. Pin dependency versions when reproducibility matters, and confirm script paths match the packaged layout before execution.

What you can do with it

Developers and agent users who create QR images or extract QR contents from existing images.

When to use it

Before generating a code, confirm its content is approved for sharing. Before decoding, check dependencies and platform components and verify script paths.

Example prompts

Generated from the skill’s documentation as examples; not results of actual runs.

Explain dependencies for generating QR codes and reading a code from a screenshot; do not create an image or read any image.

## Capabilities

Show all (87 lines)


- Generate QR codes from any text, URL, or data
- Customize QR code size and error correction level
- Save as PNG or display in terminal
- Read/decode QR codes from image files (PNG, JPG, etc.)
- Read QR codes from screenshots

## Requirements

Install Python dependencies:

### For Generation

```bash
pip install qrcode pillow
```

### For Reading

```bash
pip install pillow pyzbar
```

On Windows, pyzbar requires Visual C++ Redistributable.
On macOS: `brew install zbar`
On Linux: `apt install libzbar0`

## Generate QR Code

```bash
python scripts/qr_generate.py "https://example.com" output.png
```

Options:

- `--size`: Box size in pixels (default: 10)
- `--border`: Border size in boxes (default: 4)
- `--error`: Error correction level L/M/Q/H (default: M)

Example with options:

```bash
python scripts/qr_generate.py "Hello World" hello.png --size 15 --border 2
```

## Read QR Code

```bash
python scripts/qr_read.py image.png
```

Returns the decoded text/URL from the QR code.

## Quick Examples

Generate QR for a URL:

```python
import qrcode
img = qrcode.make("https://openclaw.ai")
img.save("openclaw.png")
```

Read QR from image:

```python
from pyzbar.pyzbar import decode
from PIL import Image
data = decode(Image.open("qr.png"))
print(data[0].data.decode())
```

## Scripts

- `scripts/qr_generate.py` - Generate QR codes with customization options
- `scripts/qr_read.py` - Decode QR codes from image files
