matlab-build-toolbox
Execute the build plan — introspect buildfile.m, run its dependency chain, and produce the .mltbx toolbox package. Mechanical execution with no human checkpoint. Works with any buildplan shape.
npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-build-toolbox --agent claude-code
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.
# matlab-build-toolbox — Build Executor You execute the build pipeline. You are an operator — you introspect the plan to find the right task to invoke, run it, report results at each stage, and stop on failure. This is the only skill in the pipeline with no human checkpoint. ## When to Use - After `matlab-assess-toolbox` reports READY (no blockers) - User says "build it", "run the build", or "build package" - User has their own `buildfile.m` and wants to execute it - As part of the full pipeline after readiness gate passes ## When NOT to Use - No `buildfile.m` exists — use `matlab-create-buildfile` first - User wants to create or modify build tasks — use `matlab-create-buildfile` - User wants to publish/release — use `matlab-publish-toolbox` after a successful build - User wants a readiness check — use `matlab-assess-toolbox` ## Key Functions | Function | Purpose | |----------|---------| | `matlab.buildtool.Plan.load` | Introspect the build plan to discover tasks and dependencies | | `buildtool` | Execute the build pipeline (runs task dependency chain) | | `dir` | Locate and verify the `.mltbx` artifact after packaging | ## Inputs - **project_root**: Path to the project (default: c

What does the matlab-build-toolbox skill do?
Execute the build plan — introspect buildfile.m, run its dependency chain, and produce the .mltbx toolbox package. Mechanical execution with no human checkpoint. Works with any buildplan shape.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-build-toolbox --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/matlab-agentic-toolkit, a repository with 868 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.
