  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Computing mean time to failure (MTTF)

What it does

Matlab Analyze Reliability is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Use this skill when fitting accelerated life models, computing mean time to failure (MTTF), B10 life and similar quantities, fitting life distributions like Weibull for reliability analysis, comparing distribution fits, computing confidence intervals on reliability quantities with bootstrapping, performing lifetime prediction, computing failure rates, plotting Kaplan-Meier curves, computing survival functions, or doing reliability analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k 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/distribution-methods.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Statistics and Data visualization. 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

  • Fitting accelerated life models
  • Computing mean time to failure (MTTF)
  • B10 life and similar quantities
  • Fitting life distributions like Weibull for reliability analysis

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-analyze-reliability”

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 Reliability loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,108 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
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
~3.6k

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 1,108 words (~3,216 tokens).

“Fit and evaluate probability distributions for use in reliability workflows in MATLAB using the recommended APIs and probability distribution framework (fitdist, makedist, pdf, icdf, cdf, probplot, bootci, fitacclife, meanfailtime).”
