matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkitData & analyticsAI & ML engineering

matlab-engineer-tabular-features is a skill in matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit, last changed 10 Sept 2026. It can run shell commands, name web addresses, bundle scripts and include files we can't read.

From the author
Use when engineering or selecting the best features for single-response classification or regression in MATLAB, whatever the data's modality — for non-tabular data it routes extraction to a domain skill, then selects, assesses, and delivers on the resulting table. Not for multi-response problems, model training, or raw data acquisition.

What it can touch

From the files and frontmatter at commit 032b4b6. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.

Pattern check

Pattern check: 8 items to review · commit 032b4b6 · 3 Nov 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 032b4b6 on 3 Nov 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.

  • Agent Skills specPasses

    The open format from agentskills.io, held to the strictest version of each rule among the agents we check.

    • Note

      The first sentence of the description is 264 characters. Agents shorten long descriptions, so lead with the main job. D8

      Fix: Start with one short sentence that names the job.

    • Note

      Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: references/provider-protocol.md (linked only from references/domain-routing.md) and references/reproduce-pool.md (linked only from references/deliver.md). Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4

      Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.

    • Note

      Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: references/assess.md (297 lines), references/deliver.md (276 lines), references/domain-routing.md (327 lines), references/feature-pool.md (215 lines), references/intake.md (276 lines) and 5 more. B5

      Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.

  • Claude CodePasses

    Claude Code reads its own extra fields, ignores unknown ones, and still loads a skill whose frontmatter is broken, without its fields.

    • Note

      The first sentence of the description is 264 characters. Agents shorten long descriptions, so lead with the main job. D8

      Fix: Start with one short sentence that names the job.

    • Note

      Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: references/provider-protocol.md (linked only from references/domain-routing.md) and references/reproduce-pool.md (linked only from references/deliver.md). Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4

      Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.

    • Note

      Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: references/assess.md (297 lines), references/deliver.md (276 lines), references/domain-routing.md (327 lines), references/feature-pool.md (215 lines), references/intake.md (276 lines) and 5 more. B5

      Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.

  • Claude apps & API uploadPasses

    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.

    • Note

      The description is 338 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4

      Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.

    • Note

      Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: references/provider-protocol.md (linked only from references/domain-routing.md) and references/reproduce-pool.md (linked only from references/deliver.md). Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4

      Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.

    • Note

      Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: references/assess.md (297 lines), references/deliver.md (276 lines), references/domain-routing.md (327 lines), references/feature-pool.md (215 lines), references/intake.md (276 lines) and 5 more. B5

      Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.

    • Note

      Line 61 names an MCP tool as mcp__matlab__evaluate_matlab_code. For the Claude apps and API, Anthropic's guidance is Server:tool, such as GitHub:create_issue. B7

      Fix: Write it as matlab:evaluate_matlab_code, using the server's own name.

  • OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes

    Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.

    • Note

      The first sentence of the description is 264 characters. Agents shorten long descriptions, so lead with the main job. D8

      Fix: Start with one short sentence that names the job.

  • VS Code & CopilotPasses
