What it does
Author Modeladvisor Checks is an agent skill from matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit. Author or upgrade Model Advisor checks for Simulink and System Composer models. Covers the full lifecycle: guideline authoring, check specification, Model Advisor check implementation, and qualification testing. Use when creating new checks (edit-time, standard batch, config-parameter, auto-fix), converting legacy StyleOne/StyleTwo/StyleThree checks to modern DetailStyle, creating a guideline for modeling, enforcing a modeling rule, or testing/qualifying a check. Triggers on any modeling constraint (e.g., "blocks…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 27 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/apis/blocks.md` and `references/apis/code-analysis.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: The Simulink Agentic Toolkit gives your AI agent both the tools and the expertise to work effectively with Simulink and Model-Based Design.
When your agent uses it
- Creating new checks (edit-time
- Config-parameter
- Converting legacy StyleOne/StyleTwo/StyleThree checks to modern DetailStyle
- Creating a guideline for modeling
Example prompts
- “blocks shall...”
- “signals must match...”
- “parameters shall be set to...”
- “/author-modeladvisor-checks”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Author Guideline
- Generate Check Specification + Author Check
- Generate Test Spec + Qualify with Tests
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c58e6ae. 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
Author Modeladvisor Checks loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~28k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 154 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,496 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 1,496 words (~3,288 tokens).
“You are a state machine that controls the ENTIRE workflow. Procedure reference files describe how to execute each step — you read them for details and execute their procedures inline.”
