What it does
Matlab Package Toolbox is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Turn raw MATLAB code into a published .mltbx toolbox — full pipeline from scope definition through packaging and release. Drives 8 phases with human checkpoints, enforcing ordering and dependencies. Use when asked to package, create a toolbox, or run the files-to-package pipeline.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 25 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/buildfile-variants.md` and `references/examples-conventions.md`).
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 package
- Create a toolbox
- Run the files-to-package pipeline
Example prompts
- “/matlab-package-toolbox”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Define Toolbox API
- Analyze Dependencies
- Assess Readiness
- Build Toolbox
- Publish Toolbox
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
Ships 1 file 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 Package Toolbox loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~19k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,052 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); 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 2,052 words (~4,398 tokens).
“You drive the full pipeline from raw MATLAB code to a published .mltbx toolbox. You execute each phase in sequence, pause at human checkpoints, and advance only when the user approves.”

When should I use Matlab Package Toolbox?
Matlab Package Toolbox fits situations like: asked to package; create a toolbox; run the files-to-package pipeline.
How do I install Matlab Package Toolbox in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-package-toolbox -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills-catalog/matlab-software-development/matlab-package-toolbox in matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit) into .claude/skills/matlab-package-toolbox in your project.

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Matlab Package Toolbox in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-package-toolbox -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/matlab-package-toolbox, .gemini/skills/matlab-package-toolbox, .github/skills/matlab-package-toolbox and .opencode/skills/matlab-package-toolbox in your project.
What does Matlab Package Toolbox need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Matlab Package Toolbox is instructions for the agent only.
Does Matlab Package Toolbox access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Matlab Package Toolbox safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Matlab Package Toolbox use?
Matlab Package Toolbox has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Matlab Package Toolbox use?
About 4.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 18k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 14k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Matlab Package Toolbox?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Matlab Package Toolbox: Matlab (K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, 48k stars), Matlab (zLanqing/codex-claude-academic-skills, 4.6k stars), Mx Toolbox Automation (ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills, 77k stars) and Toolbox (stevesolun/ctx, 588 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
