What it does
Matlab Write Tests is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Generate and structure MATLAB unit tests using matlab.unittest and matlab.uitest features, including class-based tests, parameterized testing, fixtures, mocking, and app testing with gestures. Use when writing, generating, or adding tests, creating test classes, adding test methods, parameterizing tests, setting up fixtures, mocking dependencies, or testing App Designer apps. Do NOT use for running tests, collecting coverage, or CI/CD configuration.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/app-testing-guidance.md` and `references/baseline-tests-guidance.md`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test generation, Unit testing and CI/CD. 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 test classes
- Adding test methods
- Parameterizing tests
- Setting up fixtures
Example prompts
- “/matlab-write-tests”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Briefly state what you'll test (methods + key edge cases)
- Write the test file after user confirms
- Run via run_matlab_test_file MCP tool to confirm tests pass
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 Tests loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 822 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 822 words (~2,855 tokens).
“Generate, structure, and organize MATLAB unit tests using the matlab.unittest and matlab.uitest frameworks.”

Can I use Matlab Write Tests in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-write-tests -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/matlab-write-tests, .gemini/skills/matlab-write-tests, .github/skills/matlab-write-tests and .opencode/skills/matlab-write-tests in your project.
What does Matlab Write Tests need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Matlab Write Tests is instructions for the agent only.
Does Matlab Write Tests access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
