Generate Euro NCAP test scenarios and variants using the ADT Euro NCAP support package.

  • Creating NCAP seed scenarios
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Decision Tree: Which API Path? and Key Functions, plus 12 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Generating variants

What it does

Matlab Use Ncap Protocol is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Generate Euro NCAP test scenarios and variants using the ADT Euro NCAP support package. Use when creating NCAP seed scenarios, generating variants, translating between drivingScenario and RoadRunner, plotting scenario descriptors, computing NCAP scores, or exporting reports. Triggers on: ncapScenario, euroAssessment, getScenario, getScenarioDescriptor, generateVariants, ScenarioDescriptor, ScenarioDescriptorPlot, ncapScore, ncapReport, exportReport, configureVUT, assessmentTable, Euro NCAP, CCRs, CCRm, CCRb…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/export-options.md` and `references/ncap-test-names.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Translation and Data visualization. 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 NCAP seed scenarios
  • Generating variants
  • Translating between drivingScenario and RoadRunner
  • Plotting scenario descriptors

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-use-ncap-protocol”

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 Use Ncap Protocol loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 148 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,066 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~148
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.6k

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 1,066 words (~3,629 tokens).

“Create Euro NCAP seed scenarios, generate variants, translate between simulators, plot descriptors, and compute scores using the ADT Euro NCAP support package APIs.”
