Import raw data (CSV, XLSX, TXT, or MATLAB tables) into formats used by Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox.

  • Works in 12 steps: Determine data type → (sensor data only): Identify sensor type… → Ask the User (2 questions only) → …
  • Importing flight logs
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Routing: What Kind of Data? and Truth Pathway, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Matlab Import Tracking Data is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Import raw data (CSV, XLSX, TXT, or MATLAB tables) into formats used by Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox. Handles both ground truth trajectories and sensor detection data. For truth: builds trackingScenarioRecording, tuning timetable, truthlog, or converted table. For sensor data: builds task-oriented dataFormat structs (preferred) or objectDetection arrays (legacy). Use when importing flight logs, GPS logs, radar detections, IR measurements, lidar/camera bounding boxes, ADS-B data, AIS ship tracks, or any…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k 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/code-patterns.md` and `references/coordinate-transforms.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Geospatial analysis and Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Excel. 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

  • Importing flight logs
  • Radar detections
  • IR measurements
  • Lidar/camera bounding boxes

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-import-tracking-data”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine data type
  2. (sensor data only): Identify sensor type and target application
  3. Ask the User (2 questions only)
  4. Inspect the Data
  5. Propose Mapping — Let User Confirm/Edit
  6. Ask About Output Frame (geo data only)
  7. Generate and Run Code
  8. Visualize
  9. Select sensor spec
  10. Inspect data — infer units, time, and reference frame
  11. Query dataFormat and propose mapping
  12. Configure sensor performance properties

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3303f05. 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 Import Tracking Data loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 154 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,884 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~154
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~17k

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 1,884 words (~4,247 tokens).

“Import raw data into MATLAB for use with Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox. Handles ground truth trajectories and sensor detection data. Writes plain MATLAB code.”
