At a glance

Create and simulate UAV scenarios with terrain, buildings, platforms, and sensors using uavScenario.

  • Works in 7 steps: Create scenario — uavScenario with… → Add terrain —… → Add buildings —… → …
  • Building a UAV simulation
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Workflow and Key Functions, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Matlab Create Uav Scenario is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Create and simulate UAV scenarios with terrain, buildings, platforms, and sensors using uavScenario. Use when building a UAV simulation, UAV simulator, or UAV scenario in MATLAB. Covers addMesh for terrain/building import, uavPlatform with updateMesh, uavSensor adaptor pattern for GPS/IMU, and the setup/advance simulation loop. Triggers on: uavScenario, UAV simulation, UAV simulator, multirotor simulation, quadrotor scenario, terrain import, building import, GPS sensor simulation.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `manifest.yaml`).

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

  • Building a UAV simulation
  • UAV scenario in MATLAB
  • Multirotor simulation
  • Quadrotor scenario

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-create-uav-scenario”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create scenario — uavScenario with ReferenceLocation and UpdateRate
  2. Add terrain — addMesh(scene,"terrain",...) with GMTED2010 or custom DTED
  3. Add buildings — addMesh(scene,"buildings",...) from OSM file
  4. Add platform — uavPlatform with trajectory, then updateMesh
  5. Attach sensors — uavSensor adaptor binding sensor to platform
  6. Run simulation — setup → advance → updateSensors → read loop
  7. Visualize — show3D with FastUpdate for animation

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 Create Uav Scenario loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 946 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k

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 946 words (~2,830 tokens).

“Build and simulate UAV scenarios with terrain, buildings, sensor-equipped platforms, and 3D visualization using the UAV Toolbox uavScenario framework.”
