What it does

Matlab Optimize Pcb Design is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Optimize RF PCB dimensions for bandwidth, return loss, or area via patternsearch and surrogateopt with constraints. TRIGGER: user asks to optimize an RF PCB component for performance (bandwidth, return loss, insertion loss, area) or apply constraints to a design. Invoke BEFORE writing optimization code — RF PCB Toolbox has a built-in optimize() function that differs from generic fmincon/ga approaches. SKIP: designing a component from scratch without an optimization objective (use the specific matlab-design-pcb-…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k 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-optimize-pcb-design”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Before: A design skill (matlab-design-pcb-filter, matlab-design-pcb-transmission-line, etc.) — create the initial component…
  2. This skill: Define objective, bounds, constraints; run optimize()
  3. After: matlab-analyze-em — validate optimized design → matlab-integrate-pcb-circuit — cascade into system → matlab-write-pcb-layout…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 59dfd92. 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 Optimize Pcb Design loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 168 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,363 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~168
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.4k

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 1,363 words (~4,385 tokens).

“The RF PCB Toolbox provides a built-in optimize() function that handles all standard optimization scenarios. Always use it as the first approach — do NOT write manual optimization loops with patternsearch, surrogateopt, fmincon, or ga called directly unless optimize() is…”
