What it does
Simbiology Build Model is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Build, modify, and diagram SimBiology models — API reference, helper functions, and layout patterns. Use when constructing or editing models programmatically or visually.
Its SKILL.md is about 5.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 24 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/api-cheatsheet-guidance.md` and `references/app-lifecycle-guidance.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
- Editing models programmatically
- Tasks that involve Bioinformatics
Example prompts
- “/simbiology-build-model”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Add helper scripts to the MATLAB path first
- Only open the Builder when needed
- Model construction uses standard SimBiology API
- Write reactions in the biological forward direction
- Always use qualified names for species and reaction-scoped parameters
- Use modern property names (Value, Units, Constant)
- Close Builder and Analyzer before sbioreset
- Diagram rules (only when user requests a diagram)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 69e71df. 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
Ships 10 files in scripts/, which the agent can run.
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
Simbiology Build Model loads about 5.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,733 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); the scripts in this folder 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 1,733 words (~5,248 tokens).
“API reference, helper functions, and patterns for building, modifying, and diagramming SimBiology models. Works in all MATLAB environments (desktop, headless, batch, remote). Diagram/layout features require the Model Builder app and are activated only when the user requests visual output.”
