What it does

Matlab Report Tutor Sessions is an agent skill from matlab/agent-skills-playground. Use when a learner or instructor asks for a report, summary, reflection, progress note, performance recap, activity metrics, instructor-shareable record of a MATLAB AI tutoring session, aggregate report across multiple MATLAB tutoring session reports, or instructor dashboard artifact with metric drilldowns. Supports optional start and end datetime arguments for multi-session report and dashboard ranges.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/report-template.md`).

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

When your agent uses it

  • Instructor asks for a report
  • Performance recap
  • Activity metrics
  • Instructor-shareable record of a MATLAB AI tutoring session

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-report-tutor-sessions”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the session context: topic, course context if given, practice mode,
  2. Extract topics covered and the evidence for each topic.
  3. Summarize learner strengths by topic.
  4. Summarize growth areas by topic.
  5. Compute activity metrics from observed MCQs, hands-on exercises, and
  6. Summarize important MATLAB evidence: script results, Code Analyzer feedback,
  7. Recommend 2-4 next practice actions.
  8. Include an instructor-shareable summary if requested or useful.
  9. Save the report as an .html file using the required filename pattern.

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 Report Tutor Sessions loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,172 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.8k

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 1,172 words (~2,525 tokens).

“Create clear HTML reports for MATLAB tutoring. Single-session reports help the learner reflect on what was covered, what they demonstrated, where they need more practice, and what evidence supports those conclusions. Aggregate reports summarize patterns across multiple session reports for…”
