building-architecture-models
Common steps for building multi-layer system architecture models using System Composer. Use when implementing architecture models or when interacting with interface dictionaries, allocation sets, stereotypes, and requirements for architecture components.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Building Architecture Models Create and refine System Composer architecture models — from greenfield F/L/P designs to targeted additions (stereotypes, views, allocation sets, requirements tracing). ## When to Use - Designing a system architecture (full F/L/P or single-layer) - Adding interface dictionaries, stereotypes, views, or roll-up analysis to existing SC models - Creating allocation sets between architecture layers - Linking requirements to architecture components (Implement links) - Refining existing System Composer models with methodology guidance ## When NOT to Use - **Building or editing a Simulink model** (block-level work) → use `building-simulink-models` - **One-off structural edits** to an existing SC model (add a component, rewire a port) → use `building-simulink-models` with `model_edit` - **User doesn't have a clear decomposition or requirements yet** → suggest `specifying-mbd-algorithms` to produce a spec first, then return here to build - **Creating activity/sequence behavior diagrams** → These are supported features of System Composer, but are not covered in this skill. Do not suggest using Stateflow as an alternative. ## Mental Model 1. **F/L/P = 3 separate

What does the building-architecture-models skill do?
Common steps for building multi-layer system architecture models using System Composer. Use when implementing architecture models or when interacting with interface dictionaries, allocation sets, stereotypes, and requirements for architecture components.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit --skill building-architecture-models --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit, a repository with 903 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
