What it does

Matlab Design Radar is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Launch and control the MATLAB Radar Designer app programmatically via MCP. Use when designing radar systems, configuring parameters, comparing radar types, analyzing performance metrics, or managing radar design sessions.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `manifest.yaml` and `references/code-reference.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering OKRs and executive reporting. It works with Model Context Protocol. 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

  • Designing radar systems
  • Configuring parameters
  • Comparing radar types
  • Analyzing performance metrics

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-design-radar”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Launch the App
  2. Select a Radar Template
  3. Set Parameters
  4. Read Analysis Results
  5. Multi-Radar, Sessions, Export

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

    Ships 5 files in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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 Radar loads about 4.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,936 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.2k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 1,936 words (~4,784 tokens).

“Launch and control the MATLAB Radar Designer app programmatically via MCP. Use this skill when a user asks about radar design parameters, wants to configure a radar system, compare radar types, analyze radar performance, or visualize radar metrics interactively in…”
