What it does
Matlab Project is an agent skill from matlab/agent-skills-playground. Use this skill for any work involving a MATLAB Project (.prj file) — creating a new project, tracking files, managing the project path, configuring Simulink cache and code-generation folders, running project health checks, or writing build scripts that keep the project in sync with the file system. Trigger phrases include "set up a MATLAB project", "create a .prj", "track this file in the project", "project health check", "build script conventions". This skill is the generic foundation; domain-specific skills…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files (for example `templates/decisions.md` and `templates/plan.md`).
The repository describes itself as: A sandbox for prototyping and demonstrating Agent Skills for MATLAB and Simulink work.
When your agent uses it
- Any work involving a MATLAB Project (.prj file) — creating a new project
- Managing the project path
- Configuring Simulink cache and code-generation folders
- Running project health checks
Example prompts
- “set up a MATLAB project”
- “create a .prj”
- “track this file in the project”
- “/matlab-project”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Clear state at the top. For MATLAB it is often enough to clear nothing
- Delete the target artifacts before recreating them. Guard every file
- Recreate artifacts from scratch. Never mutate an existing file in place.
- Call registerWithProject at the end, passing every artifact 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 (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 Project loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 141 tokens; SKILL.md has 953 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); 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 953 words (~2,377 tokens).
“A MATLAB Project (.prj) is a single file that manages path, tracked artifacts, shortcuts, derived-output locations, and health checks. This skill covers the mechanics so every downstream workflow (requirements, architecture, analysis, anything else) can rely on a predictable project shape.”

When should I use Matlab Project?
Matlab Project fits situations like: any work involving a MATLAB Project (.prj file) — creating a new project; managing the project path; configuring Simulink cache and code-generation folders; running project health checks.
How do I install Matlab Project in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add matlab/agent-skills-playground --skill matlab-project -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (demos/mbse-with-agentic-ai/skills/matlab-project in matlab/agent-skills-playground) into .claude/skills/matlab-project in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Matlab Project 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 Project use?
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
