At a glance

Import data into the Simulation Data Inspector (SDI) from MAT, CSV, or Excel files, from workspace variables, or from a Simulink simulation.

  • Works in 4 steps: Is the data already in SDI? → Is the data in a file? → Is the data in workspace variables? → …
  • The user wants to view a logged file in SDI
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Workflow and Key Functions, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Create Sdi Run is an agent skill from matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit. Import data into the Simulation Data Inspector (SDI) from MAT, CSV, or Excel files, from workspace variables, or from a Simulink simulation. Use when the user wants to view a logged file in SDI, load a bench-test log, or verify what a just-completed Simulink.sdi.createRun or sim(model) produced. Covers the 'file', 'vars', and 'namevalue' sources of createRun, the auto-populate behavior after sim(), and post-import verification. Not for comparing existing runs (use Simulink.sdi.compareRuns); not for streaming data…

Its SKILL.md is about 4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/createrun-signatures.md` and `references/format-support.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Test generation, Excel spreadsheets and CSV and tabular files. It works with Microsoft Excel. 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

  • The user wants to view a logged file in SDI
  • Load a bench-test log
  • Verify what a just-completed Simulink.sdi.createRun
  • Sim(model) produced

Example prompts

  • “, and”
  • “/create-sdi-run”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Is the data already in SDI?
  2. Is the data in a file?
  3. Is the data in workspace variables?
  4. Verify the run

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 (its code samples are matlab).

    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

Create Sdi Run loads about 4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 224 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,550 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~224
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.3k

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 1,550 words (~3,954 tokens).

“Get data into the Simulation Data Inspector using the shortest path that works. Most agents reflexively read files into the workspace and rebuild signals by hand; this skill teaches the direct paths and when each applies.”
