What it does
Matlab Install Products is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Deterministic workflow to download MATLAB Package Manager (mpm) and install MathWorks products from the OS command line with consistent, repeatable behavior. Use when installing MATLAB, Simulink, toolboxes, or support packages via command line, or setting up scripted installations for CI/CD, containers, or fleet provisioning.
Its SKILL.md is about 5.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `manifest.yaml` and `reference/linux-macos-steps.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with Bash. 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
- Installing MATLAB
- Support packages via command line
- Setting up scripted installations for CI/CD
- Fleet provisioning
Example prompts
- “/matlab-install-products”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Ensure mpm exists at canonical path
- Download and edit the release input file
- Run the install command and completion check
- Verification
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 69e71df. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
mathworks.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 Install Products loads about 5.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,325 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 2,325 words (~5,858 tokens).
“Use this skill when asked to install MathWorks products using MATLAB Package Manager (mpm) from the OS command line.”
