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/computational-finance/matlab-use-spreadsheet-link (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.

Pinned to commit 032b4b6, the one we checked.

From your project's root folder:

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

Or install the computational-finance 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.

Pattern check

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 032b4b6 · 29 Oct 2026

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.

matlab-access-datafeedGuide for accessing financial and economic data in MATLAB using the Datafeed Toolbox. Covers Bloomberg (market data via bloomberg/blp/bloombergHypermedia), FRED (Federal Reserve economic data via fredrs), Haver Analytics (economic data via haver/haverdirect/haverview), and LSEG Datastream (historical data via datastreamws).

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.

matlab-analyze-ams-waveformAnalyze AMS waveform data using Mixed-Signal Blockset utilities: phase noise measurement, clock jitter, anti-aliased resampling, timing measurements, lock time, INL/DNL, ADC/DAC calibration, HSpice import.

matlab-analyze-antenna-structuresDesign and analyze electrically large antenna structures using MATLAB Antenna Toolbox. Covers reflector antennas (parabolic, Cassegrain, Gregorian, offset, corner, cylindrical, spherical, custom STL), reflectarrays and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), antennas installed on platforms (vehicles, aircraft, ships, satellites), and radar cross section (RCS) analysis. Includes solver selection (MoM-PO, PO, MoM, FMM), mesh control, and GPU acceleration. Use when the user wants to design a dish/reflector antenna, reflectarray, analyze an antenna on a platform, or compute RCS.
