What it does

Matlab Uihtml Design is an agent skill from matlab/agent-skills-playground. Generate beautiful, distinctive HTML/CSS/JS control panels for MATLAB uihtml components. 8 built-in styles (Clean, Material, Cosmic Dark, Neumorphic Dark, Dashboard Light, Midnight Gradient, Minimal Mono, Warm Dark) plus custom aesthetics. Produces production-grade UI with sliders, buttons, toggles, and panels. Use when building visually polished MATLAB app UIs with uihtml.

Its SKILL.md is about 5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 21 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `references/design-styles.md`, `references/styles/clean.md` and `references/styles/cosmic-dark.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: A sandbox for prototyping and demonstrating Agent Skills for MATLAB and Simulink work.

When your agent uses it

  • Building visually polished MATLAB app UIs with uihtml

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-uihtml-design”

Workflow steps

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

  1. If the user names a built-in style, read the corresponding file from references/styles/.md
  2. If the user describes a custom aesthetic, apply creative design thinking (see below) without loading a reference style
  3. If no style is specified, open the visual style gallery in the user's browser so they can see all 8 styles side-by-side

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 (its code samples are css, bash, javascript and 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 Uihtml Design loads about 5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~25k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,144 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~25k

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 2,144 words (~5,006 tokens).

“Generate production-grade HTML/CSS/JS control panels for MATLAB uihtml components with distinctive, configurable visual styles.”
