What it does

Matlab Evaluation is an agent skill from ISET/isetcam. Use when running, testing, or publishing MATLAB .m scripts from ISETCam or the local Psych 221 teaching repository in a non-interactive MATLAB session, including locating MATLAB, setting paths, converting live scripts, or invoking iePublish.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Open source version of the original ISET, a complement to ISETBIO. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 17146a9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- rg
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Matlab Evaluation loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 463 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

MATLAB Evaluation Workflow

Repository layout

Use the repository that owns the source file. Do not assume that Psych 221 uses ISETCam's tutorial or example directory structure.

Repository	Root	Runnable source and support files
ISETCam	`~/Documents/MATLAB/isetcam`	`tutorials/`, `examples/`, and the supporting source tree; `iePublish.m` is in `utility/`.
Psych 221	`~/Documents/MATLAB/teach/psych221`	Class tutorial `.m` files at the repository root; their `.mlx` sources in `livescripts/`; additional support material in `trainingdata/`, `slides/`, and `projects/`.

Psych 221 provides psych221RootPath.m at its root. Add the Psych 221 root and its subdirectories to the MATLAB path when running its tutorials because they can rely on local helper functions or data:

matlab

psychRoot = fullfile(getenv('HOME'), 'Documents', 'MATLAB', 'teach', 'psych221');
addpath(genpath(psychRoot));
rmpath(fullfile(psychRoot, 'livescripts'));

Keep livescripts/ off the runtime path. Its .mlx source files can otherwise shadow same-stem converted .m scripts elsewhere in Psych 221.

Do not look for psych221/tutorials/, psych221/examples/, psych221/data/, psych221/utility/, run_all_scripts.sh, or publish_scripts.sh; they are not part of this repository.

Find MATLAB

MATLAB is not necessarily on the shell PATH. Discover installed releases and use an app bundle executable:

bash

ls /Applications | rg '^MATLAB_R'
/Applications/MATLAB_R2026a.app/bin/matlab -batch "disp(version)"

Prefer the newest installed release unless the user specifies another one. Use -batch rather than -r: it exits automatically and reports an uncaught MATLAB error through the process exit status.

Run a script in batch mode

Use absolute paths for the script and both repository roots. -batch inherits the shell working directory, so do not rely on a relative script path unless the working directory was deliberately selected.

bash

/Applications/MATLAB_R2026a.app/bin/matlab -batch "\
isetRoot = fullfile(getenv('HOME'), 'Documents', 'MATLAB', 'isetcam'); \
psychRoot = fullfile(getenv('HOME'), 'Documents', 'MATLAB', 'teach', 'psych221'); \
addpath(genpath(isetRoot)); \
addpath(genpath(psychRoot)); \
rmpath(fullfile(psychRoot, 'livescripts')); \
run(fullfile(psychRoot, 'ImageFormation_01a.m'))"

For ISETCam-only code, add ISETCam rather than Psych 221 unless the script actually requires Psych 221 support files. Before executing an unfamiliar script, inspect it for deliberate interactive calls such as pause, input, keyboard, or waitfor.

Show full SKILL.md (198 more words)Show less

Convert a Psych 221 Live Script

Keep the .mlx source in psych221/livescripts/ and write its plain-text .m conversion into the Psych 221 root:

matlab

sourceFile = fullfile(psychRoot, 'livescripts', 'ImageFormation_01a.mlx');
targetFile = fullfile(psychRoot, 'ImageFormation_01a.m');
matlab.internal.liveeditor.openAndConvert(sourceFile, targetFile);

Do not write converted files back into livescripts/ unless explicitly asked. Verify that each .mlx source has a non-empty same-stem .m file at the Psych 221 root.

Publish HTML with ISETCam

iePublish is an ISETCam utility. It accepts a plain-text .m file and writes self-contained HTML beside that source file; it does not publish an .mlx file and it does not write into isetcam/docs/ by default.

For a Psych 221 tutorial, add both repositories to the path and pass the full path to the converted root-level script:

matlab

isetRoot = fullfile(getenv('HOME'), 'Documents', 'MATLAB', 'isetcam');
psychRoot = fullfile(getenv('HOME'), 'Documents', 'MATLAB', 'teach', 'psych221');
addpath(genpath(isetRoot));
addpath(genpath(psychRoot));
rmpath(fullfile(psychRoot, 'livescripts'));

htmlFile = iePublish(fullfile(psychRoot, 'ImageFormation_01a.m'), ...
    'imageFormat', 'inline');

Use evalCode, showCode, maxHeight, maxWidth, and catchError as needed. Set evalCode to false only for a code-only preview; execute the tutorial when figures and output must be regenerated. s_publishTutorials and s_publishExamples are ISETCam batch helpers for ISETCam's own source directories, not a publisher for the Psych 221 root-level tutorials.

Verify the session

Confirm expected functions before evaluating or publishing:

matlab

which iePublish
which psych221RootPath

Check the MATLAB process exit status and inspect generated HTML locally when publishing. Keep generated HTML next to the .m source unless the user asks to move it elsewhere.
