What it does

Matlab Simulate Wireless Network is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Set up and run wireless network simulations using the Wireless Network Toolbox. Use this skill when creating system-level simulations with wirelessNetworkSimulator, adding traffic sources (networkTrafficOnOff, networkTrafficFTP, networkTrafficVoIP, networkTrafficVideoConference), configuring node mobility, logging events or IQ samples, visualizing traffic, scheduling actions during simulation, running parametric sweeps, writing PCAP files with pcapWriter or technology-specific PCAP writers, registering event…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/bluetooth-capture.md` and `references/custom-node.md`). Compatibility notes: =R2026a

It sits in Testing & QA. 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

  • Creating system-level simulations with wirelessNetworkSimulator
  • Adding traffic sources (networkTrafficOnOff
  • NetworkTrafficFTP
  • NetworkTrafficVoIP

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-simulate-wireless-network”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): >=R2026a

Workflow steps

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

  1. wirelessNetworkSimulator.init (MUST be first)
  2. Create nodes — use technology-specific constructors when available, otherwise subclass wnet.Node (see references/custom-node.md)
  3. Configure connections (technology-specific)
  4. addTrafficSource (technology nodes only, vectorized for multiple destinations; custom nodes generate traffic in run())
  5. addMobility (optional)
  6. Instrumentation — event tracer, IQ logger, traffic viewer (optional)
  7. addNodes(sim, nodes) (batch, one call per technology type)
  8. run(sim, duration) or multi-step with IsLastStep=false
  9. statistics() or technology-specific KPI functions

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3303f05. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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.

  • Compatibility

    >=R2026a

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Matlab Simulate Wireless Network loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 168 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,209 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~168
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~10k

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 1,209 words (~3,741 tokens).

“Foundation patterns for system-level wireless simulation. Technology-specific skills build on these for node creation, connection configuration, and KPI extraction.”
