What it does

Matlab Use Experiment Manager is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Create, modify, or delete experiments in Experiment Manager with live UI sync. TRIGGER when: user asks to create an experiment from code/script, wants to sweep parameters, asks to add/delete/edit experiments, or wants parameter changes reflected in the UI. Combines experiment creation (from code analysis) with frontend UI synchronization.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/common.md` and `references/create.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Frontend development. 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

  • : user asks to create an experiment from code/script
  • Wants to sweep parameters
  • Asks to add/delete/edit experiments
  • Wants parameter changes reflected in the UI

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-use-experiment-manager”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Always read common.md first. It holds the setup, the shared
  2. Then open the reference for the specific task the user is asking for.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 59dfd92. 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

    Ships 3 files in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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 Use Experiment Manager loads about 945 tokens when it runs, and up to ~16k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~945
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~16k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 399 words (~945 tokens).

“Create experiments from user code or problem descriptions AND keep the Experiment Manager (EM) UI in sync — adding/deleting/editing experiments updates the browser tree and editor live, without restarting EM.”
