Guide authoring of Audio Toolbox plugins (audioPlugin, audioPluginSource) that pass validateAudioPlugin and generate deployable VST/AU code.

  • Works in 5 steps: Constructor — Construct all sub-objects… → reset — Called when sample rate or frame… → process — Called per audio frame. Return… → …
  • Creating audio effect
  • SKILL.md covers When To Use, When NOT To Use, Structure and Plugin Lifecycle, plus 4 more sections

What it does

Matlab Write Audio Plugin is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Guide authoring of Audio Toolbox plugins (audioPlugin, audioPluginSource) that pass validateAudioPlugin and generate deployable VST/AU code. Use when creating audio effect or generator plugins, writing classdef files inheriting from audioPlugin, or troubleshooting validateAudioPlugin failures.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/advanced-patterns.md` and `references/available-functions.md`).

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 audio effect
  • Generator plugins
  • Writing classdef files inheriting from audioPlugin
  • Troubleshooting validateAudioPlugin failures

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-write-audio-plugin”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Constructor — Construct all sub-objects with literal arguments. getSampleRate returns 44100 here; use for initial buffer sizing only.
  2. reset — Called when sample rate or frame size changes. Cache getSampleRate(plugin) in pSR. Recompute all SR-dependent values. Call reset()…
  3. process — Called per audio frame. Return double output sized [N, numOutputChannels]. Never assign to properties registered in…
  4. Set methods — Recompute derived values (coefficients, buffer sizes) when parameters change. Add %#ok only when the set method actually…
  5. Save/load (optional, MATLAB-only) — Only needed when the plugin has private state that reset cannot reconstruct from parameters and sample…

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

    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 Write Audio Plugin loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 908 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~10k

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 908 words (~2,582 tokens).

“Every audio plugin is a classdef with %#codegen, public tunable properties, a Constant PluginInterface, and methods process + reset.”
