matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit Writing & content

matlab-create-live-script is a skill in matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit, last changed 31 Jul 2026. It can run shell commands, name web addresses and include files we can't read.

From the author

Create, edit, and run plain-text MATLAB live scripts (.m files) with rich text formatting, LaTeX equations, section breaks, and inline figures. Use when generating tutorials, analysis notebooks, reports, documentation, or educational content, when modifying existing live scripts, or when converting existing binary .mlx files to .m for version control. Requires R2025a+.

Install

Each tab says whether it installs commit 032b4b6, the one we checked, or the latest version.

OpenCode also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Goose also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Windsurf (Devin Desktop) also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Zed also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Roo Code also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Factory Droid also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Junie also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Amp also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

No install command here reaches Kiro. Copy the skill's folder into .kiro/skills/ in your project, or ~/.kiro/skills/ for all your projects. matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit/skills-catalog/matlab-core/matlab-create-live-script (opens in a new tab)

Antigravity also looks in .agents/skills/, so the Any agent steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Antigravity looks.

Cline also looks in .claude/skills/, so the Claude Code steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Cline looks.

No tab for your agent? Use Any agent for OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Zed, Roo Code, Factory Droid, Junie and Amp. With This project, Any agent also reaches Antigravity and Claude Code reaches Cline. Kiro needs the folder copied by hand.

If Claude Code was already running and this created the skills folder, run /reload-skills.

Or install the matlab-core plugin it ships in. Installs the latest version, not the one we checked. Installs everything in the plugin, including any hooks, MCP servers and scripts our check doesn't cover.

scripts/executeLiveScript.p (opens in a new tab)

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 032b4b6 on 29 Oct 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

Format check

Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.

Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.

matlab-access-datafeedGuide for accessing financial and economic data in MATLAB using the Datafeed Toolbox.

matlab-add-awgnRead BEFORE writing any code that adds Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) to signals and converts between SNR, Eb/No, Es/No, and per-subcarrier SNR for communications simulations, using awgn(), convertSNR(), berawgn(). The default MATLAB patterns for AWGN (e.g., 'measured' option, manual SNR formulas) produce subtly incorrect results. This skill specifies the correct calling conventions, required function usage, and critical anti-patterns that must be avoided.

Includes solver selection (MoM-PO, PO, MoM, FMM), mesh control, and GPU acceleration.

academy-guideStop and check this skill before finishing any reply to a question about how to use Claude or a Claude product — it recommends matching courses, tutorials, and use cases from Claude Academy (academy.claude.com), Anthropic's learning hub. Trigger on: "how do I", "how can I", "getting started with", "what can Claude do", "teach me", "learn to use"; questions about artifacts, projects, skills, plugins, connectors, MCP; requests about rolling Claude out to a team, class, or organization; and any ask for training materials, onboarding content, or learning resources. Use it when the user is learning how to use a feature or product — not when they are mid-task and just want the task done. This skill composes with other skills: after consulting product documentation to answer how a Claude feature works, also check here for a matching course or tutorial — a docs-grounded answer and an Academy recommendation belong together. Only recommend on a strong match; never invent Academy content. anthropics/skills Names web addresses Pattern check: Nothing flaggedApache 2.0Updated 18 Aug 2026	Names web addresses	Pattern check: Nothing flagged	Apache 2.0	18 Aug 2026
discernment-nudgeAfter you give a substantive answer or draft that the user may act on — advice or recommendations, drafted artifacts such as goals, plans, pitches, proposals, or emails, estimates or projections, analysis or interpretation of data, factual claims they may rely on, or a multi-step argument — invoke this skill BEFORE finalizing your reply and then, if it applies, append 2-3 short follow-up questions, each tied to something specific in what you just produced, that help the user check key facts, probe the reasoning or assumptions, and notice missing context. Do this at most once per conversation. Skip it when the user asked a trivial how-to or simple lookup, wants a purely educational explanation, asked you only to format, convert, or assemble a file from content they provided, is writing code they will run, is doing creative writing or casual chat, or already asked you to double-check, cite, or review — the skill file explains these boundaries and the exact output format. anthropics/skills Names web addresses Pattern check: Nothing flaggedApache 2.0Updated 17 Aug 2026	Names web addresses	Pattern check: Nothing flagged	Apache 2.0	17 Aug 2026
