Create, move, review, publish, or test ISETBio tutorials, examples, and data-generation scripts.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Choosing tutorial versus example scope
  • Adding SkipFile

What it does

Tutorial Example Authoring is an agent skill from isetbio/isetbio. Create, move, review, publish, or test ISETBio tutorials, examples, and data-generation scripts. Use when working in tutorials/ or examples/, naming t.m, s.m, or data.m files, choosing tutorial versus example scope, adding SkipFile, or publishing teaching scripts to HTML.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 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

  • Working in tutorials/
  • Choosing tutorial versus example scope
  • Adding SkipFile
  • Publishing teaching scripts to HTML

Example prompts

  • “/tutorial-example-authoring”

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 (its code samples are matlab).

    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

Tutorial Example Authoring loads about 560 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~560

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.

description
Create, move, review, publish, or test ISETBio tutorials, examples, and data-generation scripts. Use when working in tutorials/ or examples/, naming t_*.m, s_*.m, or data_*.m files, choosing tutorial versus example scope, adding SkipFile, or publishing teaching scripts to HTML.

Tutorial and Example Authoring

Instructions & Guidelines

Select the Correct Teaching Surface

Use tutorials/ for short, heavily commented introductions for learners who know programming but are learning image-systems engineering and ISETCam object fundamentals. A tutorial should present object setup, key *Get/*Set calls, basic *Window or *Plot output, and one simple quantitative checkpoint. Keep it fast and readable linearly.

Use examples/ for realistic, adaptable analysis patterns. Examples may be longer and can include end-to-end numerical analysis, visualization workflows, realistic parameters, and tradeoff exploration.

Use data_*.m for scripts that generate or refresh repository data. Do not name those side-effecting scripts t_*.m or s_*.m.

Authoring Standards
  • Prioritize clarity, reproducibility, stable outputs, and instructional value.
  • Use a clear header, readable section structure, and comments that explain the purpose of each section.
  • Link to related tests, nearby teaching scripts, or wiki material when useful.
  • Reuse existing constructors, accessors, and plotting helpers instead of embedding alternate APIs or ad hoc visualizations.
  • Validate a changed teaching script with the corresponding selected runner:
matlab
isetbioTutorialTest('selection','t_exampleName');
isetbioExampleTest('selection','s_exampleName');
Skipping and Publishing

Only add % SkipFile when a script requires unavailable external data or toolboxes, deliberate interaction, unusual expense, or a documented known failure. State the reason nearby. New and repaired files should use the canonical marker, not % UTTBSkip.

Publish tutorials or examples with the ISETCam-provided utilities:

matlab
s_publishTutorials
s_publishExamples
iePublish('filename.m')

iePublish applies the expected HTML formatting and embeds figure styles.
