What it does
Matlab Generate Course is an agent skill from matlab/agent-skills-playground. Interview an instructor and generate a complete MATLAB and Simulink enabled course in IMS Common Cartridge format. Use when the user asks to create a MATLAB course, Simulink course, MATLAB and Simulink curriculum, MATLAB Course Designer-ready course shell, Common Cartridge course package, .imscc export, MATLAB Exercises with validated .m files, or Simulink Exercises with starter and solution model files. Coordinates IDStack, MATLAB Agentic Toolkit, Simulink Agentic Toolkit, matlab-create-course-activity…
Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/common-cartridge-export.md`, `references/course-artifact-rules.md` and `references/instructional-design-research.md`).
It sits in Education, covering Curriculum and course design. The repository describes itself as: A sandbox for prototyping and demonstrating Agent Skills for MATLAB and Simulink work.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to create a MATLAB course
- Simulink course
- MATLAB and Simulink curriculum
- MATLAB Course Designer-ready course shell
Example prompts
- “/matlab-generate-course”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Instructor Interview
- Prerequisite Check
- IDStack Course Design
- MATLAB and Simulink Enablement
- MATLAB Exercise Authoring With matlab-create-course-activity
- Native Course Designer Activity Check
- Common Cartridge Export
- Final Review Artifacts
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7b14a77. 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
mathworks.comidstack.org
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 Generate Course loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 156 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,882 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 1,882 words (~4,233 tokens).
“Create a complete MATLAB and Simulink enabled course package through an instructor interview. The final deliverable is an IMS Common Cartridge .imscc file plus reviewable source artifacts for the instructor.”
