What it does

Matlab Design Pcb Coupler is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Wilkinson, branchline, ratrace, directional couplers, corporate dividers, Rotman lenses for power splitting and beam-forming. TRIGGER: user asks to design, create, or analyze any coupler, splitter, power divider, combiner, or Rotman lens. Invoke BEFORE writing code — class names and design() availability vary per coupler type. SKIP: EM simulation/S-parameter extraction of an existing component (use matlab-analyze-em), building custom non-catalog geometry (use matlab-assemble-pcb-layout), material/stackup setup…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.1k 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.

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-design-pcb-coupler”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Before: matlab-manage-pcb-material — set up substrate and conductor
  2. This skill: Design the coupler or splitter
  3. Check mesh/memory: memoryEstimate(obj, fc, 'RetainMesh', true) — inspect auto-mesh density before committing to a full solve
  4. After: matlab-analyze-em — validate S-parameters → matlab-optimize-pcb-design — tune dimensions → matlab-integrate-pcb-circuit — cascade…

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 Design Pcb Coupler loads about 4.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 162 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,234 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~162
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.1k

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 1,234 words (~4,066 tokens).

“Key properties: SplitLineLength, SplitLineWidth, Resistance, PortLineLength, PortLineWidth, GroundPlaneWidth.”
