Use MathWorks Documentation

Systematic methodology for reading live MathWorks documentation. Provides a repeatable four-pass strategy (local catalog → help → user guide pages → reference pages) that turns documentation lookup into a predictable, efficient operation. Uses MATLAB's webread via MCP to fetch pages, with helper scripts that handle URL discovery, HTML parsing, and content extraction.

When to Use

• You are answering a "How do I..." question related to MathWorks products and workflows
• You guessed a URL and got 404 — use this skill to discover the correct URL from the index
• You need to find which functions exist for a product or workflow — start with the local function catalog
• You need to verify a function's syntax, arguments, or deprecation status from the authoritative source
• You want to check MathWorks best practices for a specific workflow
• Training-data knowledge is uncertain or potentially out of date for a release-specific API
• The user asks what MathWorks recommends for a specific topic
• You want a systematic approach that finds the RIGHT page (not just A page) in minimal tool calls
