Export pcbComponent designs to Gerber files with RF connectors and fab service formatting for PCB manufacturing.

  • Works in 2 steps: Before: A design skill or… → This skill: Export to Gerber with…
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Typical Workflow and Quick Reference, plus 8 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Matlab Write Pcb Layout is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Export pcbComponent designs to Gerber files with RF connectors and fab service formatting for PCB manufacturing. TRIGGER: user asks to export a PCB design to Gerber, generate manufacturing files, or write out a pcbComponent for fabrication. Invoke BEFORE writing export code — gerberWrite signature (pcbComponent, connectors, filename) is non-obvious. SKIP: importing/reading PCB files (use matlab-read-pcb-layout), building PCB geometry (use matlab-assemble-pcb-layout), EM analysis (use matlab-analyze-em)…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `manifest.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: The MATLAB Agentic Toolkit brings proven MATLAB capabilities to AI agents, making engineering and scientific workflows agent-ready.

Example prompts

  • “/matlab-write-pcb-layout”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Before: A design skill or matlab-assemble-pcb-layout — create the pcbComponent; matlab-analyze-em — validate performance…
  2. This skill: Export to Gerber with connectors and fab formatting

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3303f05. 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 Pcb Layout loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 147 tokens; SKILL.md has 862 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~147
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

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 862 words (~2,517 tokens).

“The gerberWrite function generates manufacturing files from a pcbComponent.”
