What it does

Matlab Generate Grader Assessments is an agent skill from matlab/agent-skills-playground. Generate MATLAB Grader assessment items that are suitability-gated, profile-driven, feedback-aware, and validated through MATLAB MCP. Produces Script, Function, Class Definition, Class Inheritance, Object Usage, and Class Methods items with MATLAB Grader assessment setup instructions.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `references/all-grader-items-template.md`, `references/assessment-item-types.md` and `references/assessment-research.md`).

It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A sandbox for prototyping and demonstrating Agent Skills for MATLAB and Simulink work.

  4. Inspect generated student-facing prose, MATLAB comments, learner-visible assessment names, and optional feedback for the resolved content…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f55f641. 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 yaml and markdown).

    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):

    • github.com

    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 Grader Assessments loads about 5.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,520 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

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 2,520 words (~5,118 tokens).

“Generate complete, reviewable MATLAB Grader assessment items from an observable MATLAB-code learning objective. This skill supports Script, Function, Class Definition, Class Inheritance, Object Usage, and Class Methods items.”
