What it does

Matlab Price Instrument is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Price financial instruments in MATLAB using the Financial Instruments Toolbox. Route to the appropriate numerical method reference based on the user's request: Monte Carlo simulation (AssetMonteCarlo, IRMonteCarlo, RoughVolMonteCarlo), FFT / Numerical Integration (Vanilla European options), or Interest-Rate Trees (option-embedded bonds with IRTree). Use when the user asks to price financial instruments or compute Greeks using any of these methods. Use one of the following models depending on the pricing method…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/embedded-bond-tree.md` and `references/monte-carlo.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Math and symbolic computation. 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

  • The user asks to price financial instruments
  • Compute Greeks using any of these methods

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-price-instrument”

Workflow steps

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

  1. User mentions a specific pricer
  2. User mentions a specific numerical method and associated concepts
  3. User mentions instrument type without a method
  4. User mentions model name without a method
  5. Ambiguous

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.

    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 Price Instrument loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~21k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 194 tokens; SKILL.md has 588 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~194
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~21k

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 588 words (~1,602 tokens).

“Price financial instruments in MATLAB using the Financial Instruments Toolbox. Route to the correct numerical pricing method based on the user's request, then follow the method-specific reference for implementation details.”
