MATLAB Build App

Determine the best architecture for a MATLAB application, produce an implementation plan grounded in internal references, and execute the build. For UIFigure apps, optionally serialize into an App Designer format.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• User wants to build a MATLAB app, GUI, or interactive tool
• User asks "how should I build this app?" or "which approach should I use?"
• User describes an application — with or without specifying an implementation path
• User mentions: MATLAB app, GUI, uifigure, uihtml, interactive tool, dashboard, visualization app, App Designer, .mlapp, plain-text app
• User describes spatial layout needs: dashboard, control panel, sidebar, tabs, wizard, stepper, canvas, workspace
• User has already chosen a path (e.g., "build me a uihtml app") — handle directly

When Not to Use

• The request is purely about MATLAB computation with no UI component
• The user is asking about an existing app they want to modify → read references/editing-guide.md
• The user wants to convert between App Designer formats (e.g., .mlapp to plain-text or vice versa) → tell them to use File > Save As in App Designer. Do NOT attempt the conversion programmatically.
