Analyze data using MATLAB. An agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit.

  • The task involves tables
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, How to Use This Skill and Getting Oriented with Data, plus 9 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Time-series data

What it does

Matlab Analyze Data is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Analyze data using MATLAB. Use when the task involves tables, timetables, time-series data, numeric arrays, sensor matrices, or gridded data — including but not limited to exploring, filtering, sorting, cleaning, transforming, aggregating, smoothing, padding, trimming, and answering questions about data. MATLAB provides extensive, easy-to-use built-in functions for these workflows with no additional products required.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/answering-data-questions.md` and `references/array-and-grid-data.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data analysis, Forecasting and time series and Data cleaning. 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 task involves tables
  • Time-series data
  • Sensor matrices
  • Gridded data — including but not limited to exploring

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-analyze-data”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3303f05. 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 Data loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~32k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,371 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~32k

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 1,371 words (~3,195 tokens).

“Generate idiomatic MATLAB code for tabular data analysis tasks using tables and timetables.”
