What it does

Matlab Optimize GPU Codegen is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Optimize MATLAB design files for GPU Coder to generate faster CUDA code. Iteratively profiles, rewrites, and benchmarks until performance targets are met or diagnostics are resolved. Use when asked to: optimize for GPU Coder, improve GPU codegen performance, profile generated GPU/CUDA code, profile GPU MEX, fix gpuPerformanceAnalyzer diagnostics, speed up GPU MEX, reduce GPU memory transfers, improve kernel parallelism, rewrite MATLAB for CUDA, or run gpuPerformanceAnalyzer.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `manifest.yaml` and `references/gpu-codegen-functions.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Project scaffolding. It works with CUDA. 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

  • Asked to: optimize for GPU Coder
  • Improve GPU codegen performance
  • Profile generated GPU/CUDA code
  • Profile GPU MEX

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-optimize-gpu-codegen”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Codegen on Original
  2. Baseline Benchmark
  3. Structural Optimization Loop
  4. Profile with gpuPerformanceAnalyzer
  5. Fix Diagnostics
  6. Final Report

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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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 Optimize GPU Codegen loads about 4.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,992 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~127
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.3k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 1,992 words (~4,677 tokens).

“Iteratively optimize a MATLAB design file for GPU Coder: compile, benchmark, apply structural optimizations, profile with gpuPerformanceAnalyzer, fix diagnostics, and verify numerical equivalence at every step.”
