What it does

Matlab Script Review is an agent skill from isetbio/isetbio. Review existing ISETBio MATLAB tutorial, example, or demo scripts without implementing behavior. Use when asked to assess runnability, comment quality, overlap, consolidation candidates, or teaching-script coverage against the nearest object-specific tests directory.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 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: Tools for modeling image systems engineering in the human visual system front end. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to assess runnability
  • Comment quality
  • Consolidation candidates
  • Teaching-script coverage against the nearest object-specific tests directory

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-script-review”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inventory target scripts and group them by topic.
  2. Inventory the nearest tests and map them to those topics.
  3. For every script, assess purpose, APIs exercised, runtime dependencies or
  4. Compare demonstrations against tests: identify behavior tested but not
  5. Recommend a minimal cleanup plan with concrete keep, merge, split, skip,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2924c2. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 Script Review loads about 655 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 292 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~655

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 Script Review

Instructions & Guidelines

Scope and Operating Rules

Default to read-only analysis. Do not edit scripts, tests, or documentation unless explicitly asked. Start from the named script directory and the nearest _tests_ directory for that object area. Keep the review local: inspect unrelated areas only when they control the reviewed behavior.

When execution is requested, use the cheapest focused MATLAB command or the closest test before proposing a broader run.

Review Workflow
  1. Inventory target scripts and group them by topic.
  2. Inventory the nearest tests and map them to those topics.
  3. For every script, assess purpose, APIs exercised, runtime dependencies or failure risks, comment quality, and overlap with neighboring scripts.
  4. Compare demonstrations against tests: identify behavior tested but not taught, and repeated demonstrations with no distinct teaching value.
  5. Recommend a minimal cleanup plan with concrete keep, merge, split, skip, or retire candidates.

Lead with findings, risks, and overlap candidates. Clearly distinguish what was executed from static inference. Cite the closest tests; state when no corresponding demonstration exists. For a merge recommendation, name the overlapping scripts and the one teaching goal that should remain.

Scene Review Heuristics

Scene scripts and their tests live in ISETCam (../isetcam/examples/scene/ and ../isetcam/scene/_tests_/), not in ISETBio. Prefer existing scene* constructors, accessors, and plotting helpers. Check s_sceneDemo.m as a possible overview overlap. Review illuminant scripts (s_sceneIlluminant.m, s_sceneIlluminantSpace.m, s_sceneChangeIlluminant.m) as a cluster, and do the same for reflectance scripts (s_sceneReflectanceCharts.m, s_sceneReflectanceChartBasisFunctions.m, s_sceneReflectanceSamples.m).

Compare relevant scene examples with the tests there, including test_scenedemo.m, test_sceneexamples.m, test_sceneChangeIlluminant.m, test_sceneIncreaseSize.m, and test_sceneHCCompress.m.

Favor a small number of high-value scripts with distinct teaching goals. Keep a script that uniquely explains a core concept even when a unit test covers the same API surface; flag historical duplicates that add no teaching value.
