Selecting MPC prediction horizon and cost matrices for web handling.

  • SKILL.md covers Prediction Horizon Selection, Cost Matrix Design, Trade-offs and Terminal Cost
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Mpc Horizon Tuning is an agent skill from benchflow-ai/skillsbench. Selecting MPC prediction horizon and cost matrices for web handling.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: SkillsBench evaluates how well skills work and how effective agents are at using them. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/mpc-horizon-tuning”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a1f4dd. 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 python).

    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

Mpc Horizon Tuning loads about 298 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 97 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~298

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.

MPC Tuning for Tension Control

Prediction Horizon Selection

Horizon N affects performance and computation:

  • Too short (N < 5): Poor disturbance rejection
  • Too long (N > 20): Excessive computation
  • Rule of thumb: N ≈ 2-3× settling time / dt

For R2R systems with dt=0.01s: N = 5-15 typical

Cost Matrix Design

State cost Q: Emphasize tension tracking

python
Q_tension = 100 / T_ref²  # High weight on tensions
Q_velocity = 0.1 / v_ref²  # Lower weight on velocities
Q = diag([Q_tension × 6, Q_velocity × 6])

Control cost R: Penalize actuator effort

python
R = 0.01-0.1 × eye(n_u)  # Smaller = more aggressive

Trade-offs

Higher QEffect
Faster trackingMore control effort
Lower steady-state errorMore aggressive transients
Higher REffect
Smoother controlSlower response
Less actuator wearHigher tracking error

Terminal Cost

Use LQR solution for terminal cost to guarantee stability:

python
P = solve_continuous_are(A, B, Q, R)
