- Paste is trickier. If you run a text-only model behind `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`, Claude Code never writes pasted images to a regular temp file and has no modality switch, so a pasted image reaches the model as a pathless `[Unsupported Image]` placeholder (lenient gateways like DeepSeek's Anthropic endpoint) or breaks the request outright ([#62009](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/62009)). But the bytes are not gone: Claude Code appends every user message, images included, to the local session transcript before the gateway ever sees it. That is what `modlens recover-paste` exploits: it pulls the most recent pasted images back out of the transcript and prints real file paths, ready for `modlens -i`. The skill runs this automatically when it spots the placeholder. Verified end to end in a real DeepSeek-gateway Claude Code session: paste an image, the model sees only the placeholder, recovers the file by session id, and answers with full image content. Transcripts are per-session files. Skills can pass the exact session via `--session` (Claude Code substitutes `${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}` into skill text since v2.1.9); without it, recovery picks the transcript holding the newest pasted image by message timestamp, so concurrent sessions in the same project do not confuse it either way. [Pi](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi) stores sessions the same way (`~/.pi/agent/sessions/`, images as base64 in JSONL). [OpenCode](https://github.com/sst/opencode) keeps them in SQLite instead (`~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db`, images as data URLs; reading it needs Node 22.5+ for node:sqlite). `recover-paste` auto-detects all three harnesses and picks whichever holds this project's newest pasted image, each verified against a real session. One honest caveat: transcript layouts are internal implementation details of those tools with no compatibility promise; if recovery ever breaks, dragging the file still works everywhere.

Only when detection comes up empty does it fall back to racing all three stores by newest image timestamp. Each harness verified against a real session.

- - None of these harnesses writes pasted images to a regular temp file, but all of them persist user messages locally before any gateway strips them: Claude Code and Pi in session JSONL files (`~/.claude/projects/`, `~/.pi/agent/sessions/`), OpenCode in a SQLite database (`~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db`, read via node:sqlite, needs Node 22.5+). `recover-paste` scans all three and auto-detects which harness owns the newest pasted image for this project. Run `modlens recover-paste` (add `--count <n>` for several images): it recovers the pasted image bytes and prints real file paths as JSON. Feed that path to `modlens -i`.
73
- - Session targeting: your session id is ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}. If that value reads as a UUID, pass it as `--session <uuid>` for exact targeting (on OpenCode, the session id or slug works too). If it reads as a literal placeholder, omit `--session`: the command auto-locates by scanning this project's sessions for the newest pasted-image message, which is the session the user just pasted into, even with concurrent sessions. Run it from the project directory the conversation is happening in.

+ - None of these harnesses writes pasted images to a regular temp file, but all of them persist user messages locally before any gateway strips them: Claude Code and Pi in session JSONL files (`~/.claude/projects/`, `~/.pi/agent/sessions/`), OpenCode in a SQLite database (`~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db`, read via node:sqlite, needs Node 22.5+). Run `modlens recover-paste` from the project directory the conversation is happening in (add `--count <n>` for several images). It detects which harness it is running inside (process ancestry, then env fingerprints) and reads ONLY that harness's storage, so another tool's old sessions cannot leak in. In Claude Code it also targets your exact session automatically via the injected CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID; `--session <id>` (e.g. from the ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} substitution) is only needed to override.
73
+ - The output is JSON with real file paths, ordered oldest to newest, so the LAST path is the user's most recent paste. Analyze that one first. Entries carry `filename` (the original attachment name) when the harness stored one; if the user's message or an error mentions a filename, match on it.
74
+ - Run every command yourself: `recover-paste`, then `modlens -i <path>` on the recovered file, then answer from the JSON. Never ask the user to run modlens or to relay paths.
75
+ - The output's `detected` field names the harness scope that was applied. If it is absent, detection failed and every store was scanned by newest-image timestamp: before describing anything, check that `harness` and `filename` match what you expect, force the scope with `--harness <claude-code|pi|opencode>` if they do not, and when in doubt ask the user for the file instead of describing the wrong image.

  **Any other harness, or nothing matches** (no path tag and `recover-paste` reports no transcripts): do not guess. Ask the user for the image file path, or suggest dragging the file into the terminal.
