What it does

Matlab Process Images is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Load this first for any task involving images, pictures, photos, scans, frames, volumes, or visual data — including reading, writing, filtering, enhancing, denoising, sharpening, deblurring, thresholding, segmenting, masking, detecting, finding or counting objects, removing backgrounds, measuring, comparing, registering, stitching, aligning, cropping, resizing, transforming, or analyzing. Use for image I/O (TIFF, PNG, JPEG, RAW, HDR), histograms, edge detection, color processing, morphology, geometric transforms…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 19 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/3d-volume-processing.md` and `references/analysis-measurement.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Clinical and healthcare research, Deep learning and Data analysis. 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

  • Image I/O (TIFF
  • Color processing
  • Geometric transforms
  • Deep learning for images

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-process-images”

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 Process Images loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~70k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 248 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,548 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~248
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
~70k

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 1,548 words (~3,709 tokens).

“Process, analyze, and transform images using MATLAB Image Processing Toolbox (IPT). This skill routes you to the correct reference for your task and provides core conventions that apply across all IPT work.”

How do I install Matlab Process Images in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-process-images -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills-catalog/image-processing-and-computer-vision/matlab-process-images in matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit) into .claude/skills/matlab-process-images in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Matlab Process Images in Codex?

Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-process-images -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills-catalog/image-processing-and-computer-vision/matlab-process-images in matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit) into .agents/skills/matlab-process-images in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Matlab Process Images in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-process-images -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/matlab-process-images, .gemini/skills/matlab-process-images, .github/skills/matlab-process-images and .opencode/skills/matlab-process-images in your project.

What does Matlab Process Images need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Matlab Process Images is instructions for the agent only.

Does Matlab Process Images access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Matlab Process Images safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Matlab Process Images use?

Matlab Process Images has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Matlab Process Images use?

About 3.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 15k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 67k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
