What it does

Matlab Compute Aerospace Environment is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Compute aerospace environment properties including atmosphere (ISA, COESA, NRLMSISE-00, non-standard, CIRA), gravity (spherical harmonic, WGS84, zonal, centrifugal), horizontal wind (HWM), magnetic field (WMM, IGRF), geoid height, geocentric radius, space weather data, planetary ephemeris, Earth orientation (polar motion, nutation, delta-UT1, CIP). Use when computing atmospheric density, temperature, pressure, gravity vectors, wind profiles, magnetic field components, geoid undulation, solar flux indices, planet…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `manifest.yaml`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Physical and earth sciences and DataFrames. 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

  • Computing atmospheric density
  • Gravity vectors
  • Magnetic field components
  • Geoid undulation

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-compute-aerospace-environment”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the quantity needed — use the decision table below
  2. Call the function — follow the patterns in this skill for correct syntax
  3. Verify results — check units and magnitude are physically reasonable

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 Compute Aerospace Environment loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 172 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,202 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~172
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.2k

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 1,202 words (~4,191 tokens).

“Calculate environment properties for aerospace vehicle analysis: atmosphere, gravity, wind, magnetic field, geoid, space weather, planetary ephemeris, and Earth orientation using Aerospace Toolbox functions.”
