matlab

matlab is a skill for Claude Code from agentlas-ai/agentlas-desktop. It costs 42 tokens per session (3,571 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of matlab, Apache-2.0.

A guide for building and reviewing numerical workflows in MATLAB or GNU Octave, tools for mathematical computing. It covers arrays, tables, time data, tests, graphics, saved MAT files, and links to Python.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan, migrate, test, review, and document numerical programs and projects, including workflows that exchange data with Python.
Why use it?
It helps avoid assuming that MATLAB, a particular release, toolbox, or license is available. It also helps identify compatibility and execution limits when moving between MATLAB and the free GNU Octave software.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

matlab scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (scripts/_common.py, scripts/generate_function_scaffold.py, scripts/inventory_mat_file.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to matlab — 39 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

MATLAB and GNU Octave

Use this skill to design or review numerical code, migrate MATLAB releases, prepare reproducible projects, and plan trusted execution. MATLAB and GNU Octave are distinct products: compatibility is partial, not a license or behavior guarantee.

Product and license gate

  • MATLAB R2026a is proprietary. Do not assume MATLAB, MATLAB Online, a named toolbox, MATLAB Test, MATLAB Compiler, MATLAB Coder, Parallel Computing Toolbox, or an add-on is installed, licensed, or available to the user.
  • MATLAB Runtime is not MATLAB. It runs compatible applications produced with MATLAB Compiler; it cannot run arbitrary source or host MATLAB Engine for Python. Building artifacts needs the applicable licensed compiler and every product used by the source.
  • GNU Octave 11.3.0 is free software under GPLv3+. Octave packages are not MATLAB toolboxes. Similar names do not imply API, numerical, graphics, or licensing equivalence.
  • Ask which runtime, release, platform, installed products, and license context the user actually has. Treat availability as unknown until confirmed.

See Octave compatibility and execution/product boundaries.

Nonnegotiable safety boundary

Never run an untrusted .m, .mlx, MEX binary, MAT file, project startup or shutdown action, package installer, or generated artifact. Static review does not prove safety.

Treat these as execution or code-loading surfaces:

  • eval, evalin, assignin, text-derived feval, str2func, callbacks, timers, app callbacks, and dynamically modified paths;
  • system, unix, dos, shell escape !, Java, .NET, Python (py.*, pyrun, pyrunfile), MEX, and native libraries;
  • mex, codegen, MATLAB Compiler, build tasks, package/project startup, and generated code;
  • load, object deserialization (loadobj, custom serialization), function handles, Java/System objects, and class code reachable from MAT files.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

matlab is a skill published in the GitHub repository agentlas-ai/agentlas-desktop (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 3,571 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to matlab, differing in 39 lines, and is treated as a copy.
