matlab-use-symbolic-math

matlab-use-symbolic-math is a skill for Claude Code from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. It costs 115 tokens per session (4,087 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

MATLAB support for symbolic mathematics, where equations are handled as exact expressions instead of only as decimal numbers. It uses the Symbolic Math Toolbox for tasks such as calculus and equation solving.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to differentiate or integrate expressions, solve equations, work with differential equations, derive transfer functions, and convert symbolic results to numeric functions.
Why use it?
It helps produce analytical results when numerical approximation alone is not enough. It also reduces the work needed to turn symbolic answers into usable MATLAB functions.

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-use-symbolic-math scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d ago.

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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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-use-symbolic-math is a skill published in the GitHub repository matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit (1,021 stars, last pushed 12d ago), with no licence file. It adds 115 tokens to every session and 4,087 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
