What it does
Matlab Use Symbolic Math is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Generate correct MATLAB code using the Symbolic Math Toolbox. Use when the user asks for symbolic computations, analytical solutions, symbolic differentiation/integration, equation solving, or converting symbolic results to numeric MATLAB functions. Also use when converting differential equations to transfer functions or state-space form, extracting PDE coefficients (pdeCoefficients), symbolic-to-C code generation (matlabFunction + codegen), symbolic matrix variables (symmatrix), physical units and constants…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/control-systems.md` and `references/extract-pde-coefficients.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Math and symbolic computation. 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
- The user asks for symbolic computations
- Analytical solutions
- Symbolic differentiation/integration
- Equation solving
Example prompts
- “/matlab-use-symbolic-math”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- NEVER Pass Strings or Character Vectors to Symbolic Functions
- Use syms for Interactive Work, sym for Functions and Constants
- Assumption Management
- subs Does Not Modify In-Place
- Do Not Wrap Numeric Literals in sym() Inside Symbolic Expressions
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 Symbolic Math loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 156 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,107 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 1,107 words (~3,700 tokens).
“This skill provides guidelines, correct syntax, and common patterns for generating MATLAB® code that uses Symbolic Math Toolbox.”
