Rebuilt a mask-overlay-plus-ROI snippet baseline-vs-skill: baseline stacked two imshow calls with hand-rolled AlphaData blending and drawrectangle; the skill version was three lines using OverlayData/OverlayAlpha and uidraw — exactly what the skill's own 'legacy patterns to avoid' table flags as outdated.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What MATLAB Display Image does

Documents the current MATLAB image-display API — imageshow, viewer2d, uidraw, uipaint, linkviewers — for building interactive viewers, ROI annotation, mask/segmentation overlays, and video-streaming apps, and explicitly replaces legacy imshow/uiaxes/drawrectangle/montage patterns with a comparison table. Triggers when a user wants to display, annotate, or overlay images in a script or app, not for plain file I/O or pixel-processing algorithms.

How to install MATLAB Display Image

git clone https://github.com/matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit
cd matlab-agentic-toolkit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills-catalog/image-processing-and-computer-vision/matlab-display-image ~/.claude/skills/matlab-display-image

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger MATLAB Display Image

  • /matlab-display-image Modern MATLAB image display, overlays, ROIs, and viewer apps via imageshow/viewer2d.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Show this image in MATLAB with an interactive ROI annotation overlay
  • Build a segmentation mask viewer app for these images in MATLAB
  • Display this video stream with linked viewers instead of old imshow

Frequently asked questions

Is the MATLAB Display Image skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does MATLAB Display Image work with Claude Code?
We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Rebuilt a mask-overlay-plus-ROI snippet baseline-vs-skill: baseline stacked two imshow calls with hand-rolled AlphaData blending and drawrectangle; the skill version was three lines using OverlayData/OverlayAlpha and uidraw — exactly what the skill's own 'legacy patterns to avoid' table flags as outdated.
What is the MATLAB Display Image SkillProof Score?
9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
How do I install MATLAB Display Image?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use MATLAB Display Image with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
