ID Scanning Integration in a Few Prompts with Scandit Agent Skills

How do you integrate ID scanning and verification software? Until recently, most product and development teams had to make a trade-off. Deep integration, control and customization on one side, development effort on the other.

Using an ID scanner SDK, teams can customize and embed identity verification directly into mobile apps and web services. Full control, customized to requirements, but every feature has to be built, integrated, and tested before it shipped.

Turnkey apps and identity verification (IDV) platforms flip that, reducing development time and the need for technical expertise, but leaving far less room to customize. IDV platforms in particular also raise questions IT and product teams have to answer: sensitive data often sits in the vendor's cloud, and you may pay for functionality your process doesn’t require.

But what if you didn’t have to choose? With the launch today of Scandit Agent Skills for ID scanning, integrating and customizing an ID scanner SDK now takes just a few prompts.

That tradeoff between control and customization vs. development effort?

It no longer exists.

About Scandit Agent Skills for ID Scanning

A few weeks ago, we launched the first ever Agent Skills for barcode scanning. We've now expanded to over 60 skills, and for the first time that includes Agent Skills for ID scanning and fake ID detection.

Scandit has years of experience working with industry leaders in travel, quick commerce and retail. Air France-KLM scanned 8.4 million travel documents with Scandit ID Bolt in 2025, with 91% of users completing document scans (a multi-fold increase in completion rate), and a 29% drop in passengers arriving ineligible to board.

Product selection, SDK setup, license activation, UI wiring, performance defaults, edge cases … all included, eliminating fix-and-try loops and giving you the optimum implementation from day one.

Want to refine it further? Tell the agent exactly what features you want. Need to customize the UI? It takes a couple of prompts.

With Scandit Agent Skills, proof of concepts also now no longer need to wait on engineering bandwidth. The evaluation Air France-KLM ran can be kicked off in minutes, and by a product manager, not only a developer.

My advice to peers at other airlines who are dealing with the same document scanning and data accuracy challenges: run a proof of concept with Scandit in your own environment. That's what convinced us.

Every integration still ships with Scandit's fast, accurate, secure ID scanning and fake ID detection: on-device, no PII transferred, ISO 27001 certified. None of that is left to the AI coding agent to decide. The skills make Scandit easier to plumb in, while performance and security stay firmly under Scandit's, and human, control.

How to use Scandit Agent Skills for ID Scanning

Scandit Agent Skills run in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, OpenCode, and 40+ other coding agents.

1. Describe your use case in plain language inside your AI coding tool (e.g. "scan IDs and verify age in a last-mile delivery app built with Flutter" or “users to self-scan IDs for an online check-in journey”). The more detail, the better. The agent will ask follow-ups if anything is missing.
2. The data-capture-sdk product-picker skill recommends the right Scandit product and framework combination, grounded in real customer integrations.
3. The matching product-and-framework skill (e.g. id-capture-flutter) takes over and writes the integration directly into your codebase. Review the result, then customize and evaluate.

With Agent Skills, ID verification integration isn’t hard any more

AI coding agents are reshaping ID scanning and verification, as they are many other areas. They challenge the assumption that control and customization have to cost you longer development times.

Businesses everywhere are replacing manual ID checks with automated ID verification, driven by increased fraud risks, tighter compliance requirements, and digital-first workflows. Now we’re giving teams everywhere the tools they need to embed ID scanning and verification in their apps — exactly they way they want.
