What it does

Matlab Classify Tabular Data is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Use this skill to classify tabular data end-to-end in MATLAB — load a dataset, prepare and clean it, select promising classifiers, train them, and compare accuracies with cross-validation, holdout, or hyperparameter optimization plus statistical tests. TRIGGER when: user asks to classify tabular data, pick classifiers for a dataset, compare classifier accuracy, run cross-validation or a holdout evaluation, or find the best model with statistical uncertainty. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user has non-tabular inputs…

Its SKILL.md is about 9.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 47 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/README.md` and `references/dataprep.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Machine learning, Statistics and Forecasting and time series. 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

  • Classify tabular data end-to-end in MATLAB — load a dataset
  • Prepare and clean it
  • Select promising classifiers
  • Compare accuracies with cross-validation

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-classify-tabular-data”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load data
  2. Analyze and clean data
  3. Choose evaluation strategy
  4. Ask about interpretability
  5. Select and define model templates
  6. Get baseline accuracy estimates
  7. Choose the statistical comparison method
  8. Run the comparison
  9. Visualize
  10. Boosting learning curve
  11. Hyperparameter optimization (optional)
  12. Summary

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

    Ships 10 files in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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 Classify Tabular Data loads about 9.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~20k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 207 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,076 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~207
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~9.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~20k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 4,076 words (~9,191 tokens).

“Compare classifiers on the user's dataset and identify the top tier of models that are statistically equivalent in accuracy.”
