What it does
Matlab Create Course Activity is an agent skill from matlab/agent-skills-playground. Create MATLAB Course Designer MATLAB Exercise learning activities by wrapping the existing matlab-generate-grader-assessments skill, then validating generated solution.m, template.m, and tests.m files with MATLAB MCP Server tool calls. Use when the user asks to create a MATLAB Exercise, MATLAB course activity, Course Designer MATLAB activity, validated MATLAB solution file, or MATLAB Exercise component folder.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/course-designer-artifacts.md`, `references/grader-wrapper-workflow.md` and `references/matlab-validation-rules.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A sandbox for prototyping and demonstrating Agent Skills for MATLAB and Simulink work.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to create a MATLAB Exercise
- MATLAB course activity
- Course Designer MATLAB activity
- Validated MATLAB solution file
Example prompts
- “/matlab-create-course-activity”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Activity Inputs
- Invoke matlab-generate-grader-assessments
- Split Description for Course Designer
- Add Course Designer Fields
- Validate MATLAB Files
- Course Designer Activity Artifacts
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7b14a77. 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.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
mathworks.com
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 Create Course Activity loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 954 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 954 words (~2,284 tokens).
“Create MATLAB Course Designer-ready MATLAB Exercise learning activities. This skill is a wrapper around the existing matlab-generate-grader-assessments skill: use matlab-generate-grader-assessments first to create the shared MATLAB Grader-style component parts, then use MATLAB MCP Server tool calls to validate the generated…”
