What it does

Matlab Use Visual Inspection is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Build machine vision inspection systems with MATLAB Visual Inspection Toolbox. Covers the full arc from problem selection through deployment: anomaly detection (Student-Teacher, PatchCore, FastFlow, FCDD), object detection (YOLOX), counting (CounTR, shape matching), gauging and measurement (caliper, fitcircle, fitangle), blob analysis (regionprops, calibrated measurement), shape matching for fixturing and localization, synthetic data generation for training augmentation, and deployment to standalone apps…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/blob-analysis.md` and `references/count-objects.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Computer vision, Anomaly detection and Internationalization. It works with NVIDIA AI Platform, C++ and ONNX. 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

  • Tasks that involve Computer vision
  • Tasks that involve Anomaly detection
  • Tasks that involve Internationalization

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-use-visual-inspection”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Acquire — Get the image (Image Acquisition Toolbox)
  2. Fixture — Locate a stable reference feature (matchshape)
  3. Reposition — Transform measurement positions to detected pose
  4. Inspect — Apply measurement or classification at repositioned locations
  5. Decide — Compare to tolerances → pass/fail
  6. Communicate — Send results to PLC/SCADA (Industrial Communication Toolbox)

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.

    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 Use Visual Inspection loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~22k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 192 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,256 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~192
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~22k

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 1,256 words (~3,131 tokens).

“Build machine vision inspection systems using Visual Inspection Toolbox. Select the right approach — rule-based, AI-based, or hybrid — based on problem characteristics, then implement, train, and deploy.”
