What it does

Matlab Plan Tutor Adoption is an agent skill from matlab/agent-skills-playground. Use when an instructor asks for a MATLAB AI tutor setup guide, adoption guide, pilot plan, course-specific rollout, or recommended tutor configuration based on a learning objective, course title, course description, module description, or lab description.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/research-summary.md` and `references/setup-guide-template.md`).

It sits in Education, covering Tutoring and explanations and Lesson planning. The repository describes itself as: A sandbox for prototyping and demonstrating Agent Skills for MATLAB and Simulink work.

When your agent uses it

  • An instructor asks for a MATLAB AI tutor setup guide
  • Course-specific rollout
  • Recommended tutor configuration based on a learning objective
  • Course description

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-plan-tutor-adoption”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Restate the inferred course or learning objective in one sentence.
  2. Identify the best-fit teaching context and why it fits.
  3. Recommend the MATLAB AI tutor skill sequence for that context.
  4. Provide an instructor-ready starter prompt that can be used with students.
  5. Define guardrails for assignment or assessment use.
  6. Recommend matlab-create-ai-policy when the instructor needs a
  7. Propose a first-week pilot activity with one MCQ, one hands-on task, and one
  8. Explain how to review session reports and transcripts.
  9. Include a short revision loop: what the instructor should adjust after the

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7b14a77. 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 Plan Tutor Adoption loads about 867 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 403 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~867
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.9k

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 403 words (~867 tokens).

“Generate a short instructor-facing setup guide that fits the provided learning objective, course title, course description, module description, or lab description.”
