What it does
Matlab Set Up Worker State is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Set up worker environment and per-worker state for parallel pools. Use when code needs paths, environment variables, database connections, loaded libraries, or expensive objects available on workers before parfor/parfeval runs. Teaches parallel.pool.Constant, parfevalOnAll, and parpool name-value pairs. Also use when refactoring existing code that uses spmd for side-effect setup (an anti-pattern). Triggers: worker setup, pool constant, per-worker state, non-serializable, loadlibrary on workers, database…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `manifest.yaml`).
It sits in Development, covering Secrets management and Refactoring. 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
- Code needs paths
- Environment variables
- Database connections
- Loaded libraries
Example prompts
- “/matlab-set-up-worker-state”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- No cleanup guarantee — if the parfor errors, the second spmd never runs
- Makes the pool fragile to worker disconnection — once a pool has run an
- Composite variables cannot be used inside parfor — values created in
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 (its code samples are matlab).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
mathworks.com
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 Set Up Worker State loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 211 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,312 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 1,312 words (~3,201 tokens).
“By default, process workers in a parallel pool inherit MATLAB path state from their controlling client, but they do not inherit loaded libraries, open connections, or expensive pre-computed objects. Code that relies on any of these needs explicit setup. This…”
