What it does

Matlab Analyze Pcb Pdn is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. PDN DC voltage/current analysis, IR drop, design rule checking, and multi-net batch analysis on imported PCB layouts. TRIGGER: user asks about power integrity, PDN analysis, IR drop, voltage distribution, current density, power nets, or design rule checking on a PCB. Invoke BEFORE writing code — the PDN API chain is specialized and non-obvious. SKIP: importing a PCB file (use matlab-read-pcb-layout), EM field/S-parameter extraction (use matlab-analyze-em), material/stackup setup only (use…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml` and `references/batch-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.

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-analyze-pcb-pdn”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Before: matlab-read-pcb-layout — import the PCB layout from Gerber/ODB++/Allegro
  2. This skill: Run DC analysis, check IR drop, evaluate design rules, batch-analyze nets
  3. After: Iterate on the physical design in CAD and re-import, or use results to inform stackup changes via matlab-manage-pcb-material

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 (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

Matlab Analyze Pcb Pdn loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 153 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,454 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~153
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.7k

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 1,454 words (~4,623 tokens).

“pcbFileRead imports a PCB file and returns an object for hierarchical inspection. Supported formats: native directory (CSV files), ODB++ (zipped or unzipped), and Cadence Allegro .brd (requires one-time extractaSetup()).”
