  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Matlab Execution is an agent skill from Citrus-bit/Anaxa. Use when the user explicitly needs MATLAB or .m scripts for local scientific computing, simulation, signal processing, image processing, statistics, or experiment reproduction. Prefer command-line MATLAB batch execution and do not imply GUI control.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Statistics. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Anaxa 是一个面向科研工作流的开源智能体系统。它不是单纯的聊天机器人,也不是无人监管的自动发论文机器,而是把文献检索、证据审计、实验执行、论文写作、同行评审式检查和最终产物打包放进同一个可追踪的研究生命周期中。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user explicitly needs MATLAB
  • .m scripts for local scientific computing
  • Signal processing
  • Image processing

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-execution”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Generate a complete .m script with deterministic inputs and output paths.
  2. Save all figures, .mat, .csv, and logs under the output directory provided by the tool.
  3. Call matlab_execution(script_content=..., script_name=...).
  4. Inspect the manifest and logs before using results in a report or manuscript.
  5. Link any manuscript claim to generated numeric or figure artifacts.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d57c708. 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 Execution loads about 398 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 179 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~398

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.

description
Use when the user explicitly needs MATLAB or .m scripts for local scientific computing, simulation, signal processing, image processing, statistics, or experiment reproduction. Prefer command-line MATLAB batch execution and do not imply GUI control.

MATLAB Execution

Use this skill only when MATLAB itself is needed. Prefer Python/R tooling for normal data analysis unless the user requires MATLAB code, .mat files, or a MATLAB-specific toolbox.

Capability Boundary

  • Supported: command-line MATLAB through matlab -batch using the matlab_execution tool.
  • Supported: reading and writing files in the thread workspace and output folders.
  • Not supported by this skill: controlling MATLAB's GUI, clicking menus, or operating desktop windows.
  • Host MATLAB execution requires trusted local configuration with host bash explicitly enabled.

Workflow

  1. Generate a complete .m script with deterministic inputs and output paths.
  2. Save all figures, .mat, .csv, and logs under the output directory provided by the tool.
  3. Call matlab_execution(script_content=..., script_name=...).
  4. Inspect the manifest and logs before using results in a report or manuscript.
  5. Link any manuscript claim to generated numeric or figure artifacts.

Safety

  • Do not run indefinite GUI sessions.
  • Do not assume MATLAB is installed; report the executable error if missing.
  • Do not bypass license, filesystem, or sandbox restrictions.
  • If MATLAB cannot run, provide a Python or pseudocode fallback only when scientifically appropriate.

Questions about Matlab Execution

What does Matlab Execution do?

A skill your agent uses when the user explicitly needs MATLAB or .m scripts for local scientific computing, simulation, signal processing, image processing, statistics, or experiment reproduction. Matlab Execution is an agent skill from Citrus-bit/Anaxa.m scripts for local scientific computing, simulation, signal processing, image processing, statistics, or experiment reproduction.

When should I use Matlab Execution?

Matlab Execution fits situations like: the user explicitly needs MATLAB; .m scripts for local scientific computing; signal processing; image processing.

How do I install Matlab Execution in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Citrus-bit/Anaxa --skill matlab-execution -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/public/matlab-execution in Citrus-bit/Anaxa) into .claude/skills/matlab-execution in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Matlab Execution in Codex?

Run `npx skills add Citrus-bit/Anaxa --skill matlab-execution -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/public/matlab-execution in Citrus-bit/Anaxa) into .agents/skills/matlab-execution in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Matlab Execution 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 Citrus-bit/Anaxa --skill matlab-execution -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-execution, .gemini/skills/matlab-execution, .github/skills/matlab-execution and .opencode/skills/matlab-execution in your project.

What does Matlab Execution need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Matlab Execution is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Matlab Execution 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 Execution 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 Execution use?

Matlab Execution is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Matlab Execution use?

About 398 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Matlab Execution?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Matlab Execution: Review Op Bench Coverage (CVCUDA/CV-CUDA, 2.7k stars), Statsmodels (zLanqing/codex-claude-academic-skills, 4.6k stars), Rota Bench Regression Analysis (oracle/graalpython, 1.7k stars) and Querying Indonesian Gov Data (suryast/indonesia-gov-apis, 172 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
