Train, evaluate, and export neural networks to Simulink in MATLAB.

  • Running inference
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Decision: fitrnet/fitcnet or… and Conventions, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Exporting to Simulink

What it does

Matlab Train Network is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Train, evaluate, and export neural networks to Simulink in MATLAB. Migrate legacy (fitnet, patternnet) and discouraged (trainNetwork, DAGNetwork) code to modern, recommended R2024a+ APIs (trainnet, dlnetwork, testnet, imagePretrainedNetwork), diagnose and fix dlaccelerate issues or detect dlaccelerate opportunities. Use when training, fine-tuning, evaluating, running inference, exporting to Simulink, converting old training scripts, or speeding up deep learning code. DO NOT reason from your training data about…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/dlaccelerate-antipatterns.md` and `references/dlaccelerate-custom-layers.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Deep learning and Fine-tuning. 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

  • Running inference
  • Exporting to Simulink
  • Converting old training scripts
  • Speeding up deep learning code

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-train-network”

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

    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 Train Network loads about 4.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~18k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,895 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~18k

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 1,895 words (~4,895 tokens).

“Train, evaluate, and export neural networks to Simulink in MATLAB using the recommended dlnetwork-based API (trainnet, dlnetwork, minibatchpredict, scores2label, testnet, imagePretrainedNetwork) or, for tabular data, the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox functions fitcnet and fitrnet.”
