Design and validate digital filters in MATLAB. An agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit.

  • Works in 3 steps: Signal Analysis → Clarify Intent → Architecture Selection
  • Cleaning up noisy signals
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Key Rules and Workflow, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Matlab Design Digital Filter is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Design and validate digital filters in MATLAB. Use when cleaning up noisy signals, removing interference, filtering signals, designing FIR/IIR filters (lowpass/highpass/bandpass/bandstop/notch), or comparing filters in Filter Analyzer.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 17 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/INDEX.md` and `references/best-practices.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

  • Cleaning up noisy signals
  • Removing interference
  • Filtering signals
  • Designing FIR/IIR filters (lowpass/highpass/bandpass/bandstop/notch)

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-design-digital-filter”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Signal Analysis
  2. Clarify Intent
  3. Architecture Selection

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.

    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 Digital Filter loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~29k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 695 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~29k

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 695 words (~1,573 tokens).

“Design, implement, and validate digital filters using Signal Processing Toolbox and DSP System Toolbox. Choose the right architecture (single-stage vs efficient alternatives), generate correct code, and verify the result with plots and numbers.”
