Install Matlab List Products

skills CLI
$ npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-list-products -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit matlab-list-products --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/skills-catalog/matlab-core/matlab-list-products .claude/skills/matlab-list-products && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

At a glance

Show all installed MATLAB products and support packages for a given MATLAB installation folder.

  • Works in 6 steps: Extract release name → Read installed products from matlabroot → Read installed support packages → …
  • Verifying what products
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Input and Protocol, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Matlab List Products is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Show all installed MATLAB products and support packages for a given MATLAB installation folder. Use when listing, checking, or verifying what products or support packages are in a MATLAB installation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `manifest.yaml`).

It works with macOS. 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

  • Verifying what products
  • Support packages are in a MATLAB installation

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-list-products”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Extract release name
  2. Read installed products from matlabroot
  3. Read installed support packages
  4. Clean up product names
  5. Sort products
  6. Display results

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

    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

    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 List Products loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 723 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 723 words (~1,545 tokens).

“Use this skill when asked to show, list, or check what MATLAB products or support packages are installed in a given MATLAB installation.”
