Transmit and capture RF waveforms using Wireless Testbench with NI USRP radios (X410, X310, N310, N320, N321, N300, X300, E320).

  • Works in 7 steps: Create the Radio Object → Configure Properties → Prepare the Transmit Waveform → …

  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Prerequisites and Choosing the Right Object, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Matlab Transmit Capture Usrp is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Transmit and capture RF waveforms using Wireless Testbench with NI USRP radios (X410, X310, N310, N320, N321, N300, X300, E320). Use when generating test signals, transmitting over the air, capturing IQ data, performing loopback tests, configuring multi-antenna setups, or troubleshooting dropped samples and gain settings. Covers basebandTransceiver, basebandTransmitter, basebandReceiver, continuous and once transmit modes, foreground and background capture, and UseRadioBuffer options. Also use when the user…

Its SKILL.md is about 5.4k 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 Testing & QA, covering Test generation. 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

  • Generating test signals
  • Transmitting over the air
  • Capturing IQ data
  • Performing loopback tests

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-transmit-capture-usrp”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Create the Radio Object
  2. Configure Properties
  3. Prepare the Transmit Waveform
  4. Transmit
  5. Capture
  6. Loopback Test (Transmit + Capture on Same Radio)
  7. Multi-Antenna Configuration

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 Transmit Capture Usrp loads about 5.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 163 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,903 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~163
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.4k

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 1,903 words (~5,442 tokens).

“Generate, transmit, and capture RF waveforms using NI USRP radios in MATLAB.”
