Generate MATLAB Grader assessment item sets. An agent skill from matlab/agent-skills-playground.

  • Works in 6 steps: Collect Inputs → Generate Assessment Item Options → User Selects Assessment Items → …
  • The user asks to create MATLAB Grader assessment items
  • SKILL.md covers Input, Reference Files, Pipeline Overview and Step 1: Collect Inputs, plus 8 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Matlab Generate Grader Assessments is an agent skill from matlab/agent-skills-playground. Generate MATLAB Grader assessment item sets. Use when the user asks to create MATLAB Grader assessment items, generate MATLAB assessment materials, build MATLAB homework assessment items, QTI 3 portable assessment items, or mentions "grader assessment items". Produces complete assessment item folders with description, solution, template, tests, Function call blocks, and optional QTI 3 interchange files.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `references/assessment-item-types.md`, `references/assessment-research.md` and `references/description-prompt.md`).

It sits in Education. 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 MATLAB Grader assessment items
  • Generate MATLAB assessment materials
  • Build MATLAB homework assessment items
  • QTI 3 portable assessment items

Example prompts

  • “grader assessment items”
  • “/matlab-generate-grader-assessments”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Collect Inputs
  2. Generate Assessment Item Options
  3. User Selects Assessment Items
  4. Generate Artifacts for Each Selected Assessment Item
  5. Write Output Files
  6. Summary

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.

    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 4.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,218 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~14k

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 2,218 words (~4,612 tokens).

“Generate complete MATLAB Grader assessment item sets in the current agent session. Each assessment item produces a subfolder with native artifact files (description, solution, template, tests) ready to paste into MATLAB Grader. Function assessment items also include function_call.m for MATLAB…”
