Code Modernization
Replace deprecated MATLAB functions and anti-patterns with modern equivalents. This skill is the resolver — check_matlab_code is the detector.
When to Use
check_matlab_codeorcheckcodereturns "not recommended" or "to be removed" warnings- User asks to modernize, migrate, or update old MATLAB code
- Code uses functions listed in the quick reference table below
- After static analysis reveals deprecated API usage
- Writing new code in a domain that has known deprecated patterns
When NOT to Use
- Reviewing code quality broadly — use
matlab-review-code(which may then trigger this skill) - Debugging runtime errors — use
matlab-debugging - Performance profiling — use performance skills (though anti-patterns below overlap)

matlab-agentic-toolkit-setup
Install and configure the MATLAB Agentic Toolkit — detect MATLAB, install the MCP server, register with your AI coding agent, and verify the environment. Supports Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Amp, and Gemini CLI.
6matlab-debugging
Diagnose MATLAB errors and unexpected behavior. Breakpoints, workspace inspection, try-catch diagnostics, and common error patterns. Use when debugging functions, tracing errors, inspecting variables, or diagnosing runtime failures.
5matlab-review-code
Review MATLAB code for quality, performance, maintainability, and adherence to MathWorks coding standards. Uses check_matlab_code and matlab_coding_guidelines. Use when reviewing code, checking style, finding code smells, assessing quality, or preparing code for handoff or publication.
5matlab-install-products
Deterministic workflow to download MATLAB Package Manager (mpm) and install MathWorks products from the OS command line with consistent, repeatable behavior. Use when installing MATLAB, Simulink, toolboxes, or support packages via command line, or setting up scripted installations for CI/CD, containers, or fleet provisioning.
