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

- 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-modelsProgrammatic 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.
