What it does

Simulink Configure Code Interfaces is an agent skill from matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit. Use the skill to control and verify the code interface configuration of your model — how Simulink® model elements are represented in the generated C or C++ code. This includes — (1) specifying names, types (storage classes), and placement of variables that represent model elements (for example, making a model parameter tunable as a global extern variable); (2) specifying names, types, and placement of functions that represent model algorithms; (3) selecting the deployment type (Component, Subcomponent, or…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/code_mapping.md` and `references/coder_dictionary.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud. It works with C++. The repository describes itself as: The Simulink Agentic Toolkit gives your AI agent both the tools and the expertise to work effectively with Simulink and Model-Based Design.

When your agent uses it

  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/simulink-configure-code-interfaces”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 455dded. 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 1 file 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

Simulink Configure Code Interfaces loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 261 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,157 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~261
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~17k

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 1,157 words (~2,512 tokens).

“Configure how model elements map to generated code — storage classes for elements in models configured with data interface configuration, and service interfaces for elements in models configured with service interface configuration.”
