Ran a 3-value Kp sweep both ways: the naive baseline used set_param+assignin (global-state mutation the skill explicitly bans); the skill version built a SimulationInput array with setVariable and UseFastRestart, matching MathWorks' own guardrails verbatim.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Simulating Simulink Models does

Runs Simulink models from MATLAB scripts using Simulink.SimulationInput and SimulationOutput, covering parameter sweeps, external input signals via Dataset objects, and parsim/fast-restart batch runs. Triggers on sim(), parsim, setExternalInput, setModelParameter, setVariable, or logsout access for analysis workflows — explicitly hands off pass/fail testing to a sibling skill instead of overreaching.

How to install Simulating Simulink Models

git clone https://github.com/matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit
cd simulink-agentic-toolkit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills-catalog/model-based-design-core/simulating-simulink-models ~/.claude/skills/simulating-simulink-models

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

Commands — how to trigger Simulating Simulink Models

  • /simulating-simulink-models Programmatic Simulink simulation via SimulationInput/Output, sweeps, and parsim.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Run a parameter sweep on this Simulink model using SimulationInput
  • Set up parsim to batch-run this model with different external input signals
  • Script this Simulink simulation with fast restart and pull the logsout data

Frequently asked questions

Is the Simulating Simulink Models skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Simulating Simulink Models work with Claude Code?
We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Ran a 3-value Kp sweep both ways: the naive baseline used set_param+assignin (global-state mutation the skill explicitly bans); the skill version built a SimulationInput array with setVariable and UseFastRestart, matching MathWorks' own guardrails verbatim.
What is the Simulating Simulink 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 Simulating Simulink 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 Simulating Simulink 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.
