What it does
Matlab Design Antenna is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Design antennas, arrays, and PCB antennas using MATLAB Antenna Toolbox. Covers catalog antenna design and pattern analysis, custom antenna construction (customAntenna + shape.), PCB antenna design (pcbStack + antenna.), finite and infinite array design, AI-accelerated design exploration (AIAntenna, patternFromAI), and optimization (SADEA/TR-SADEA). Use when the user wants to design, create, model, analyze, optimize, or fabricate an antenna or array.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/ai-antenna-workflows.md` and `references/arrays.md`).
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
- The user wants to design
- Fabricate an antenna
Example prompts
- “/matlab-design-antenna”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Catalog Antenna Design
- Custom Antenna Design
- PCB Antenna Design
- Array Design
- AI-Accelerated Design
- Optimization
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.
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 Design Antenna loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,021 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 1,021 words (~2,463 tokens).
“Design, analyze, and optimize antennas and arrays using MATLAB Antenna Toolbox — from catalog elements to custom shapes, PCB fabrication, AI-accelerated exploration, and surrogate-assisted optimization.”
