What it does

Matlab Design Ofdm System is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Read BEFORE writing any code that builds or simulates OFDM systems. The default MATLAB patterns for OFDM (e.g., direct ifft/fft, awgn with 0 dBW power, missing symOffset) produce subtly incorrect results — always use ofdmmod/ofdmdemod instead of direct IFFT/FFT. This skill specifies the correct calling conventions for ofdmmod, ofdmdemod, ofdmChannelResponse, ofdmEqualize, and critical anti-patterns that must be avoided. Use when building OFDM transmitters or receivers, allocating subcarriers and guard bands…

Its SKILL.md is about 4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/ofdm-fading-channel.md` and `references/ofdm-ldpc-coding.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA. 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 OFDM transmitters
  • Allocating subcarriers and guard bands
  • Inserting pilots
  • Computing SNR for OFDM

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-design-ofdm-system”

Workflow steps

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

  1. OFDM parameters — FFT size, CP length, subcarrier spacing, subcarrier allocation
  2. Channel model — AWGN only, fading with perfect CSI, or fading with pilot-based estimation
  3. Pilots — needed for channel estimation or phase tracking?
  4. Coding — uncoded, or coded with a specific rate?
  5. Synchronization — perfect sync, or include timing/CFO estimation?

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 (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 Design Ofdm System loads about 4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 200 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,576 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~200
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~15k

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 1,576 words (~3,966 tokens).

“Use this skill when the user wants to build a custom (non-standard) OFDM transmitter/receiver, configure subcarrier allocation, add noise to OFDM signals, equalize OFDM through fading channels, implement synchronization, or add LDPC coding.”
