What it does

Matlab Process Large Images is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Patterns for using blockedImage to process large images, harness parallel compute for image processing, and write custom adapters. Use when writing code that creates, processes, or visualizes blockedImage objects, when implementing images.blocked.Adapter subclasses, or when a user needs help with large image data. Always use this skill when working with TIFF,GeoTIFF, .svs, .ndpi, .czi or other WSI, satellite imagery or microscopy volume image formats.

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/3d-volumes.md` and `references/data-discovery.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Geospatial analysis and 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

  • Writing code that creates
  • Visualizes blockedImage objects
  • Implementing images.blocked.Adapter subclasses
  • A user needs help with large image data

Example prompts

  • “Use the matlab-process-large-images skill to pattern for using blockedImage to process large images, harness parallel compute for image processing…”
  • “/matlab-process-large-images”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prototype on a coarse level. Use gather(bim, Level=bim.NumLevels) to load the coarsest level into memory. Develop and tune parameters on…
  2. Prototype on an ROI. Extract a small region with representative features using getRegion, tune parameters, then apply

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 Process Large Images loads about 3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,199 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~17k

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 1,199 words (~2,999 tokens).
