What it does

Matlab Analyze Spectral Images is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Work with hyperspectral and multispectral images in MATLAB. Covers reading/writing (ENVI, NITF, TIFF, Sentinel-2, Landsat, ASTER), ECOSTRESS spectral libraries, processing (calibration, atmospheric correction, denoising, sharpening, dimensionality reduction, endmember extraction, unmixing, target/anomaly detection, spectral indices, segmentation), labeling (Spectral Image Labeler app, ground truth objects, automation algorithms), and deep learning (pixel classification CNNs, unmixing autoencoders, transfer…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/dl-advanced.md` and `references/dl-classification.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Deep learning, Computer vision and Anomaly detection. The repository describes itself as: The MATLAB Agentic Toolkit brings proven MATLAB capabilities to AI agents, making engineering and scientific workflows agent-ready.

When your agent uses it

  • Applying deep learning to hyperspectral
  • Multispectral images

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-analyze-spectral-images”

Workflow steps

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

  1. NEVER use hypercube() — deprecated. Use imhypercube() or geohypercube().
  2. cropData(hcube, 30:110, 30:110) — row/col INDEX VECTORS, not [x y w h]
  3. selectBands/removeBands require Name=Value: selectBands(hcube, BandNumber=[1 10 20]), removeBands(hcube, Wavelength=[1350 1450])…
  4. customSpectralIndex(spcube, [800 670], @(nir,red) (nir-red)./(nir+red)) — 3 args required
  5. apply(hcube, @(block) mean(gather(block), 3)) — callback receives OBJECT, use gather()
  6. inverseProjection(pcaCube, coeff) — data first, coefficients second
  7. spectralMatch(libData, hcube) — struct from readEcostressSig FIRST. For numeric: use sam(hcube, target) directly.
  8. L = hyperseganchor(hcube, 8) (1 output); [L, n] = hyperslic(hcube, 100) (2 outputs)
  9. immulticube does NOT support ENVI. Sentinel-2: pass manifest.safe (NOT .SAFE folder). Landsat: *_MTL.txt. ASTER: .hdf.
  10. spectralIndices(hcube, "NDVI") → struct with .IndexName/.IndexImage. Use ndvi(hcube) for numeric.
  11. hyperslic with 3 bands: hyperslic(data, 100, IsInputDimReduced=true). Only params: NumIterations (max 30), IsInputDimReduced. NO…
  12. detectTarget(hcube, target, "ACE") — method is POSITIONAL, not Name=Value

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 69e71df. 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

Matlab Analyze Spectral Images loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~21k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 174 tokens; SKILL.md has 776 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~174
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~21k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 776 words (~3,704 tokens).

“Generate MATLAB code for working with hyperspectral and multispectral data using the Hyperspectral Imaging Library for Image Processing Toolbox. Requires desktop MATLAB (not MATLAB Online or MATLAB Mobile) and the Hyperspectral Imaging Library add-on.”
