Expert guidance for simulating RoadRunner scenarios via the MATLAB programmatic API and Simulink co-simulation.

  • Works in 3 steps: Assign a behavior to the actor (see below) → In MATLAB: Write a System object that… → The System object finds itself using…
  • The user wants to run a simulation
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Critical: Do NOT Confuse With… and Decision Tree, plus 13 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Roadrunner Scenario Simulating is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Expert guidance for simulating RoadRunner scenarios via the MATLAB programmatic API and Simulink co-simulation. Use when the user wants to run a simulation, step through a simulation, control actors during co-simulation, add observers, attach sensors, retrieve simulation logs, or read/write scenario variables. Covers simulateScenario, createSimulation, ScenarioSimulation set/get, ActorSimulation getAttribute/setAttribute, addObserver, SensorSimulation, Simulink co-sim blocks, and publishActorBehavior. NOT for…

Its SKILL.md is about 5.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/simulation-api-reference.md` and `references/simulink-cosim-details.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

  • The user wants to run a simulation
  • Step through a simulation
  • Control actors during co-simulation
  • Retrieve simulation logs

Example prompts

  • “/roadrunner-scenario-simulating”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Assign a behavior to the actor (see below)
  2. In MATLAB: Write a System object that controls the actor at runtime
  3. The System object finds itself using Simulink.ScenarioSimulation.find

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

Roadrunner Scenario Simulating loads about 5.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 155 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,647 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~155
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8k

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 1,647 words (~5,576 tokens).

“Simulate RoadRunner scenarios, step through simulations, control actors in co-simulation, add observers, attach sensors, and retrieve results — from MATLAB and Simulink.”
