At a glance

Unified skill for all MATLAB and Simulink report generation tasks.

  • Works in 4 steps: List all content/format requirements —… → Check built-in reporters. Built-in… → If built-in reporters meet all… → …
  • Tasks that involve HTML artifacts
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, API Selection and Core Workflow: Standard Report, plus 8 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Matlab Generate Report is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Unified skill for all MATLAB and Simulink report generation tasks. Covers report generation, PDF report, document generation, mlreportgen, Report Generator, template, TitlePage, Chapter, multipage HTML, HTMLPage, html-multipage, custom reporter, customizeReporter, template hole, page header, page border, company style package, branded reporters, buildTemplates, Simulink report, model documentation, slreportgen, block diagram report, model report, subsystem documentation, SystemDiagramFinder, SystemIO…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/custom-reporters.md` and `references/data-driven-report-pattern.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering HTML artifacts and PDF. 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

  • Tasks that involve HTML artifacts
  • Tasks that involve PDF

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-generate-report”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. List all content/format requirements — title page fields, page borders, headers/footers, branded styling
  2. Check built-in reporters. Built-in TitlePage has: Title, Subtitle, Author, Publisher, PubDate, Image. Built-in Chapter/Section provide…
  3. If built-in reporters meet all requirements, use them directly
  4. If any requirement is unmet, create custom reporters

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 (its code samples are matlab).

    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 Generate Report loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~58k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 188 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,480 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
~4.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~58k

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 1,480 words (~4,361 tokens).

“Generate structured, professional reports (PDF, Word, HTML) from MATLAB data and Simulink models.”
