What it does

Mbse Workflow is an agent skill from matlab/agent-skills-playground. Use this skill for guided MBSE work in MATLAB — starting a new project, resuming work mid-workflow on an existing project, or answering orientation questions about how the MBSE skills fit together. Trigger when the user says they want to create, start, or set up a new MBSE project; work on a model-based systems engineering / RFLPV project; or asks which skill covers which phase. Walks through phases one at a time — propose → approve → generate → run → confirm. Use proactively whenever someone mentions starting or…

Its SKILL.md is about 10k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `templates/decisions.md` and `templates/plan.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A sandbox for prototyping and demonstrating Agent Skills for MATLAB and Simulink work.

When your agent uses it

  • Guided MBSE work in MATLAB — starting a new project
  • Resuming work mid-workflow on an existing project

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7b14a77. 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

Mbse Workflow loads about 10k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 140 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,494 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~140
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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 4,494 words (~10,092 tokens).

“This skill walks through an MBSE project one phase at a time — for greenfield setup and for resuming an existing project mid-workflow. At each phase: propose → get approval → generate script → run it → checkpoint. If the…”
