Use when the user wants to train, compare, or export machine learning models using Classification Learner or Regression Learner — including opening the app, loading data, training models, evaluating metrics, comparing results, visualizing plots, testing on held-out data, exploring model interpretability, and exporting trained models. Programmatic access to Classification Learner and Regression Learner apps via AppController.

matlab-vehicle-network-communication

Use when setting up vehicle network communication in MATLAB using Vehicle Network Toolbox. Covers CAN/CAN FD (fully implemented), with architecture for J1939, XCP, and future protocols. Handles hardware discovery, channel creation, bus configuration, message exchange, signal encoding/decoding, and analysis across all supported vendors (Vector, Kvaser, PEAK-System, NI, SocketCAN, MathWorks Virtual).

matlab-write-audio-plugin

>

matlab-write-database

Writes data from MATLAB to relational databases and performs database operations. Use when writing data with sqlwrite, updating rows with sqlupdate, executing SQL with execute, running stored procedures, managing transactions with commit/rollback, creating tables, or using SQL prepared statements.

matlab-write-help

Generate or improve MATLAB help text (documentation comments) for a function, class, or script file following MathWorks standards (H1 line, syntax paragraphs, See Also, 75-char lines). Read BEFORE writing MATLAB help — default patterns (Inputs:/Outputs: lists, block comments, uppercase See Also) produce non-conforming output. Use when writing, rewriting, fixing, or reviewing MATLAB help comments or function documentation.

matlab-write-pcb-layout

Export pcbComponent designs to Gerber files with RF connectors and fab service formatting for PCB manufacturing. TRIGGER: user asks to export a PCB design to Gerber, generate manufacturing files, or write out a pcbComponent for fabrication. Invoke BEFORE writing export code — gerberWrite signature (pcbComponent, connectors, filename) is non-obvious. SKIP: importing/reading PCB files (use matlab-read-pcb-layout), building PCB geometry (use matlab-assemble-pcb-layout), EM analysis (use matlab-analyze-em), material/stackup setup (use matlab-manage-pcb-material).

matlab-write-performance-tests

Writes MATLAB performance tests using the matlab.perftest.TestCase framework. Use when asked to write, create, or add performance tests for MATLAB code, benchmark functions, measure execution time with statistical rigor, or use runperf.

roadrunner-core

Foundation skill for all RoadRunner workflows: MATLAB path setup, connection, project/scene/scenario lifecycle, world settings, handle management, status, and close. Use when connecting to RoadRunner, managing projects/scenes/scenarios, setting world origin, checking status, closing RoadRunner, or when any downstream RoadRunner skill needs initialization.
