MATLAB Toolbox Skills for Claude
Claude writes confident MATLAB code, but it sometimes makes up function names that don't exist in R2025b. These skills fix that. They give Claude a quick-reference of tricky APIs, deprecated functions, and common pitfalls across 5 toolboxes, along with 54 template scripts that help it write code you can actually use.
[!TIP] Works beyond Claude — Agent Skills are an open standard for AI coding tools. These skills were built for Claude, but the format is supported by OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, and many others.

Each skill folder has three parts:
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| SKILL.md | Quick-reference of critical rules: the tricky APIs, deprecated functions, and R2025b changes that LLMs miss |
| Knowledge cards | Domain patterns organized by topic (survival analysis, MedSAM, wavelet transforms, etc.) |
| Template scripts | .m files with %TODO placeholders. Claude uses these as a starting point and fills in the project-specific details like file paths, parameters, and class names |
