What it does

Matlab Detect Capture Usrp is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Smart triggered RF capture on NI USRP radios with Wireless Testbench — record only when a signal of interest appears, not continuously (triggered spectrum sensing). Use energy detection to capture when signal power rises above the noise floor, or preamble detection to cross-correlate against a known sequence (WLAN L-LTF, 5G NR PSS/SSS, LTE PSS, Zadoff-Chu, custom protocols) and capture only when that protocol's preamble is detected. Use when implementing triggered (wake-on-signal) capture or spectrum sensing…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/api.md` and `references/overview.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Performance reviews. 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

  • Implementing triggered (wake-on-signal) capture
  • Spectrum sensing
  • Capturing protocol-based signals via cross-correlation
  • Calibrating detection thresholds (plotDetectionSignals / plotThreshold)

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-detect-capture-usrp”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine Detector Type
  2. Gather Required Inputs
  3. Validate Constraints
  4. Generate Code

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 Detect Capture Usrp loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 188 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,516 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~188
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

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 1,516 words (~3,685 tokens).
