What it does
Matlab Create Mcq Practice is an agent skill from matlab/agent-skills-playground. Use when creating, asking, grading, or explaining multiple choice questions for MATLAB programming practice, concept checks, quizzes, or tutoring exercises.
Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/mcq-template.md`).
It sits in Education, covering Quizzes and assessments and Tutoring and explanations. The repository describes itself as: A sandbox for prototyping and demonstrating Agent Skills for MATLAB and Simulink work.
When your agent uses it
- Explaining multiple choice questions for MATLAB programming practice
- Tutoring exercises
Example prompts
- “/matlab-create-mcq-practice”
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
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 Create Mcq Practice loads about 869 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 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 396 words (~869 tokens).
“Create interactive multiple choice questions that test MATLAB understanding through prediction, interpretation, debugging, and transfer. Use with matlab-tutor-learners and matlab-coach-programming.”
