What it does

Matlab Use Scenario Builder is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Generate driving scenes, scenarios, road surfaces, and 3D content from scenariobuilder. sensor data (GPS, camera, lidar, actor tracks) using Scenario Builder for Automated Driving Toolbox. BUILD, EXPORT, or AUGMENT a virtual scenario/scene/map: ego or actor trajectories, trajectory smoothing, OpenCRG road-surface extraction, 3D asset generation, static-object placement, point-cloud georeferencing + elevation, lane-based ego localization, sensor-fusion tracking, scenario-event extraction (cut-ins, hard brakes…

Its SKILL.md is about 14k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 31 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/actortrackdata-api.md` and `references/example-roadrunner-scenario.md`).

It sits in Game Development, covering Geospatial analysis, Database schema design and Internationalization. It works with Unreal Engine. 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

  • Tasks that involve Geospatial analysis
  • Tasks that involve Database schema design
  • Tasks that involve Internationalization

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-use-scenario-builder”

Workflow steps

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

  1. addpath(scripts/) — skill helper functions (openFile, plotActorCircles, etc.)
  2. Load data → create objects → Rule 5 timestamp scale detection + normalize
  3. Plot GPS + trajectory side-by-side (VALIDATION — confirm data loaded correctly)
  4. Camera validation video (Rule 2 decision tree) → questdlg popup (BEFORE any RR export)
  5. Multi-GPS gate (if >1 GPS series) → compare video → ASK which series
  6. Establish scene: OSM download + importScene WITH enableOverlapGroupsOptions(IsEnabled=false)
  7. Build ego trajectory → localization decision matrix (Rule 4 Step 7)
  8. Export ego + actors to RoadRunner (no Orientation=, flatten Z on flat scenes, preserve Orientation= on ego rebuild)
  9. Simulate (setCameraMode(rrApp, "Front"), no Pacing=, EnableLogging=true) → exportVideo
  10. Side-by-side comparison video (track-overlaid left | sim right) → questdlg popup → DONE

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

    Ships 1 file 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 Scenario Builder loads about 14k tokens when it runs, and up to ~78k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 260 tokens; SKILL.md has 6,072 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~260
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~14k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~78k

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 6,072 words (~14,395 tokens).

“Scenario Builder is a support package that ships with MATLAB as part of the Automated Driving Toolbox. It generates realistic driving scenarios, high-resolution road surfaces, and 3D scene content from raw or processed sensor data — including GPS, camera, lidar…”
