matlab-configure-scope-object
Prevents crashes due to problematic scope-related API misuse caused by agent escalation into internal scope framework objects. Use when configuring properties of scope-related Simulink blocks or MATLAB objects — constrains the agent to documented APIs and directs users to the scope UI when a property is not programmatically accessible.
npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-configure-scope-object --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.
# Scope Configuration — Safe API Skill ## When To Use This skill is active whenever you interact with properties of any scope-related block or object: **Simulink blocks:** - Scope, Floating Scope (Simulink) - Time Scope, Spectrum Analyzer, Array Plot (DSP System Toolbox) - Constellation Diagram, Eye Diagram (Communications Toolbox) - Video Viewer (Computer Vision Toolbox) - Point Cloud Viewer (Point Cloud Toolbox) - Scope Viewer (signal-level viewer) - Range-Time Intensity Scope, Angle-Time Intensity Scope, Doppler-Time Intensity Scope (Phased Array System Toolbox) **MATLAB objects:** - `timescope(...)` - `spectrumAnalyzer(...)` (formerly `dsp.SpectrumAnalyzer`) - `dsp.ArrayPlot(...)` - `comm.ConstellationDiagram(...)` - `comm.EyeDiagram(...)` - `phased.IntensityScope(...)` - `phased.RTIScope(...)` - `phased.DTIScope(...)` - `phased.ATIScope(...)` - `phased.RangeDopplerScope(...)` - `phased.RangeAngleScope(...)` - `phased.AngleDopplerScope(...)` ## When NOT to Use - Configuring non-scope Simulink blocks — standard `get_param`/`set_param` on blocks like Gain, Sum, or Transfer Function does not carry escalation risk - Interacting with scopes without modifying properties — opening, cl

What does the matlab-configure-scope-object skill do?
Prevents crashes due to problematic scope-related API misuse caused by agent escalation into internal scope framework objects. Use when configuring properties of scope-related Simulink blocks or MATLAB objects — constrains the agent to documented APIs and directs users to the scope UI when a property is not programmatically accessible.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-configure-scope-object --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.
