Linearize Simulink models. An agent skill from matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit.

  • Works in 4 steps: Define Linearization I/O Points → Operating Point → Linearize → …
  • Obtaining linear time invariant
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Workflow and Key Functions, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Simulink Linearize is an agent skill from matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit. Linearize Simulink models. Use when obtaining linear time invariant or linear parameter varying models from Simulink models.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `manifest.yaml`).

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

  • Obtaining linear time invariant
  • Linear parameter varying models from Simulink models

Example prompts

  • “/simulink-linearize”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Define Linearization I/O Points
  2. Operating Point
  3. Linearize
  4. Debug (Linearization Advisor)

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

    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

Simulink Linearize loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 925 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

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 925 words (~2,520 tokens).

“Extract linear time invariant (LTI) or linear parameter varying (LPV) models from Simulink using linearize and related APIs from Simulink Control Design.”
