$ npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-display-image -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit matlab-display-image --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/skills-catalog/image-processing-and-computer-vision/matlab-display-image .claude/skills/matlab-display-image && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

Display images and annotations for image processing, computer vision, and visual inspection.

  • Displaying images with imageshow
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Legacy Patterns to Avoid and Key Components, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Creating image viewers with viewer2d

What it does

Matlab Display Image is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Display images and annotations for image processing, computer vision, and visual inspection. Use when displaying images with imageshow, creating image viewers with viewer2d, adding Regions of Interest (ROI) or annotations, overlaying masks or segmentations, streaming video frames, or building apps with image display.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `manifest.yaml`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Computer vision. 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

  • Displaying images with imageshow
  • Creating image viewers with viewer2d
  • Adding Regions of Interest (ROI)
  • Overlaying masks

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-display-image”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 59dfd92. 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 Display Image loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,422 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.8k

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 1,422 words (~3,820 tokens).

“Display images with imageshow rather than imshow for more performant, higher quality image display with more responsive interactions for images of all sizes.”
