matlab-convert-aerospace-coordinates
Perform aerospace unit conversions, time conversions, coordinate frame transformations, and rotation representations using Aerospace Toolbox. Use when converting units (length, velocity, angle, acceleration, angular velocity, force, mass, pressure, temperature, density), computing Julian dates or decimal years, transforming between coordinate frames (ECEF, ECI, LLA, flat Earth, geodetic/geocentric, NED, body, wind, stability), or working with rotation representations (Euler angles, DCM, quaternion, Rodrigues vector). Also use when the user asks about aerospace coordinate systems, reference fra

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.
# Aerospace Fundamentals Core Aerospace Toolbox functions for unit conversions, time conversions, coordinate transformations, and rotation representations. ## When to Use - Converting between aerospace unit systems (SI, imperial, nautical) - Computing Julian dates, modified Julian dates, decimal years, or TDB time - Transforming positions between ECEF, ECI, LLA, or flat Earth frames - Converting between geodetic and geocentric latitude - Building DCMs for frame transformations (ECI↔ECEF, ECEF↔NED, body↔wind, body↔stability) - Converting between Euler angles, DCMs, quaternions, and Rodrigues vectors - Using the `quaternion` object for rotation math, interpolation, or composition - Identifying which coordinate frame data is expressed in ## When NOT to Use - Atmosphere models (`atmosisa`, `atmoscoesa`) — use `matlab-compute-aerospace-environment` - Airspeed corrections (`correctairspeed`) — not covered here - Orbit propagation or satellite maneuvers — use Aerospace Toolbox, Aerospace Blockset or Satellite Communications Toolbox - Navigation-specific transforms (`lla2enu`, `lla2ned`) — use Navigation Toolbox - Simulink blocks — use `/model-based-design-core:building-simulink-models` wi

What does the matlab-convert-aerospace-coordinates skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-convert-aerospace-coordinates --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.
