Design and analyze electrically large antenna structures using MATLAB Antenna Toolbox.

  • Works in 4 steps: Reflector Antenna Design → Reflectarray / RIS Design → Installed Antenna Analysis → …
  • The user wants to design a dish/reflector antenna
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Must-Follow Rules and Workflow, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Matlab Analyze Antenna Structures is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Design and analyze electrically large antenna structures using MATLAB Antenna Toolbox. Covers reflector antennas (parabolic, Cassegrain, Gregorian, offset, corner, cylindrical, spherical, custom STL), reflectarrays and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), antennas installed on platforms (vehicles, aircraft, ships, satellites), and radar cross section (RCS) analysis. Includes solver selection (MoM-PO, PO, MoM, FMM), mesh control, and GPU acceleration. Use when the user wants to design a dish/reflector…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/installed-antennas.md` and `references/rcs-analysis.md`).

The repository describes itself as: The MATLAB Agentic Toolkit brings proven MATLAB capabilities to AI agents, making engineering and scientific workflows agent-ready.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to design a dish/reflector antenna
  • Analyze an antenna on a platform

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-analyze-antenna-structures”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Reflector Antenna Design
  2. Reflectarray / RIS Design
  3. Installed Antenna Analysis
  4. RCS Analysis

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 69e71df. 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 Analyze Antenna Structures loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 155 tokens; SKILL.md has 890 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~155
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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 890 words (~2,129 tokens).

“Design, analyze, and visualize electrically large antenna structures — reflector antennas, reflectarrays/RIS, platform-installed antennas, and radar cross section — using MATLAB Antenna Toolbox with appropriate EM solvers for each problem class.”
