Is the Build SimBiology Models skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Build SimBiology Models SkillProof Score?

9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Build SimBiology Models?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Build SimBiology Models with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Asked both paths to wire a two-compartment PK model with a 'Drug' species in each compartment: the unguided baseline wrote unqualified species references that SimBiology rejects as ambiguous across compartments, while the skill's Rule 5 (always use Compartment.Species qualified names) produced reaction strings that are actually valid.

What Build SimBiology Models does

This skill is a 499-line API reference and rule set for constructing and diagramming SimBiology models programmatically — covering qualified species naming, modern property names (Value/Units/Constant), reaction direction conventions, rule/event constraints, and diagram layout math. It triggers on 'build/add/modify compartment, species, reaction, diagram, layout' and explicitly defers simulation and parameter-fitting requests to sibling skills.

How to install Build SimBiology Models

git clone https://github.com/matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit
cd matlab-agentic-toolkit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills-catalog/computational-biology/matlab-build-simbiology-model ~/.claude/skills/matlab-build-simbiology-model

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Build SimBiology Models

/matlab-build-simbiology-model Dense SimBiology API/rules reference that prevents real ambiguous-species and deprecated-property errors.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Help me add a species and reaction to my SimBiology model
Build a compartment diagram programmatically in SimBiology
Fix the ambiguous species naming error in my SimBiology script
