Listed the repo tree via GitHub API and found SKILL.md under skills-catalog/code-generation/simulink-single-precision-conversion. Fetched SKILL.md, manifest.yaml, and both references (edge-cases.md, reporting-format.md) raw — all returned HTTP 200 and frontmatter parses with name + description. No security smells (no curl|sh, base64, or secret exfiltration). Could not run the OUTPUT stage: the skill's sole action is invoking DataTypeWorkflow.Single.convertToSingle, which needs MATLAB + Simulink + Fixed-Point Designer plus a loaded .slx model, none of which are available in this context, so no baseline-vs-skill artifact could be produced.

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 2/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Simulink Single Precision Conversion does

Drives DataTypeWorkflow.Single.convertToSingle to convert a loaded Simulink model or subsystem from double to single precision, then reads the check/convert/verify report to summarize converted blocks, auto-applied config changes, remaining stowaway doubles, and memory reduction. Triggers when a user asks to convert a Simulink system to single precision, reduce a model's memory footprint, or prep it for single-precision embedded targets. Not for standalone MATLAB .m code or fixed-point optimization.

How to install Simulink Single Precision Conversion

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit.git /tmp/simulink-single-precision-conversion-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/simulink-single-precision-conversion-src/skills-catalog/code-generation/simulink-single-precision-conversion ~/.claude/skills/simulink-single-precision-conversion
# Requires MATLAB + Simulink + Fixed-Point Designer (R2016b or later) reachable via an
#   evaluate_matlab_code tool/MCP — the skill runs DataTypeWorkflow.Single.convertToSingle.
# No API keys, no network calls, no build step. Skill body + references/ are plain markdown.

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

Commands — how to trigger Simulink Single Precision Conversion

  • /simulink-single-precision-conversion Convert double-precision Simulink models to single precision via Fixed-Point Designer

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Convert this Simulink subsystem to single precision
  • Reduce memory usage of this Simulink model
  • Optimize this Simulink system for an embedded target

Frequently asked questions

Is the Simulink Single Precision Conversion 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 Simulink Single Precision Conversion work with Claude Code?
We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 21, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Listed the repo tree via GitHub API and found SKILL.md under skills-catalog/code-generation/simulink-single-precision-conversion. Fetched SKILL.md, manifest.yaml, and both references (edge-cases.md, reporting-format.md) raw — all returned HTTP 200 and frontmatter parses with name + description. No security smells (no curl|sh, base64, or secret exfiltration).

What is the Simulink Single Precision Conversion SkillProof Score?
6.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 2/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
How do I install Simulink Single Precision Conversion?
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 Simulink Single Precision Conversion 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.
