What it does

Matlab Assemble Pcb Layout is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Build custom PCB structures with pcbComponent, shapes, Boolean ops, feeds, and multi-layer stackups for non-catalog geometries. TRIGGER: user asks to build, modify, or customize a pcbComponent — add/remove shapes, edit polygons, place feeds, add metal layers, cut slots, or create non-catalog RF structures. Also when modifying geometry of an existing catalog-designed component (e.g., adding pads, removing elements, editing vertices). Invoke BEFORE writing pcbComponent code — layer/shape/feed API is non-obvious…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k 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/shape-primitives.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-assemble-pcb-layout”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Before: matlab-manage-pcb-material — set up substrate and conductor
  2. This skill: Build the custom PCB structure using pcbComponent, shapes, and feeds
  3. After: matlab-analyze-em — validate S-parameters → matlab-optimize-pcb-design — tune dimensions → matlab-write-pcb-layout — export Gerber

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 59dfd92. 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 Assemble Pcb Layout loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 202 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,103 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~202
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.2k

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 1,103 words (~4,396 tokens).

“pcbComponent is the universal container for custom RF PCB structures.”
