SKILL.md (first lines)
When the user provides an image and wants to extract a VIN from it: 1. Use the `carsxe_ocr` tool with the image URL provided. 2. Display the extracted VIN and confidence score. 3. Offer to immediately decode the VIN using the vehicle-specs skill. 4. If image quality is poor or the VIN cannot be extracted, suggest the user try a clearer photo with better lighting and angle. 5. If the API key is missing, tell the user to configure it by running `gemini extensions config carsxe`.
