What it does

Matlab Manage Pcb Material is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Dielectric substrates, metal conductors, multi-layer stackups, and loss models (FR4, Rogers, Teflon) for RF PCB simulation. TRIGGER: user asks to set up a substrate, define dielectric properties, create a stackup, select a PCB material (FR4, Rogers, Teflon, etc.), or configure metal conductors. Invoke BEFORE writing dielectric() or metal() code — the API for named vs custom materials differs significantly. SKIP: PCB layout assembly (use matlab-assemble-pcb-layout), transmission line design (use…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `manifest.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: The MATLAB Agentic Toolkit brings proven MATLAB capabilities to AI agents, making engineering and scientific workflows agent-ready.

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-manage-pcb-material”

Workflow steps

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

  1. This skill: Define substrate, conductor, and stackup — typically the first step in any RF PCB design
  2. After: Any design skill (matlab-design-pcb-filter, matlab-design-pcb-transmission-line, matlab-assemble-pcb-layout, matlab-model-via)…

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 (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 Manage Pcb Material loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 163 tokens; SKILL.md has 996 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~163
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k

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 996 words (~3,136 tokens).

“The dielectric object defines substrate properties. Create from the built-in catalog or specify custom parameters.”
