matlab-create-experiment
Create an experiment for the MATLAB Experiment Manager app from user code, script, or problem description. TRIGGER when: user asks to create an experiment from a script/function, wants to sweep parameters or hyperparameters, asks to compare configurations, or describes a problem suitable for experimentation. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user is debugging an existing experiment, wants to run/resume trials, or already has a working experiment set up.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Create Experiment for Experiment Manager Plans and creates experiments in MATLAB Experiment Manager by analyzing user code or problem descriptions, determining the experiment type, and generating the appropriate experiment function, hyperparameter table, and experiment object. ## When to Use - User has a MATLAB script/function and wants to sweep parameters or hyperparameters - User asks to create an experiment or compare configurations - User describes a problem and wants to explore parameter space - User wants to track outputs across different parameter combinations ## When NOT to Use - User is debugging an existing experiment or training failure - User wants to run, resume, or view results of an existing experiment - User already has a working Experiment Manager experiment set up - User wants to edit experiment settings (hyperparameters, strategy, description) — direct them to make changes in the Experiment Manager app. However, editing the experiment function code (.m file) is allowed. - User wants Bayesian optimization or random sampling strategy — direct them to configure from the Experiment Manager app --- ## Autonomy Model This skill follows a guidance + autonomy pattern.

What does the matlab-create-experiment skill do?
Create an experiment for the MATLAB Experiment Manager app from user code, script, or problem description. TRIGGER when: user asks to create an experiment from a script/function, wants to sweep parameters or hyperparameters, asks to compare configurations, or describes a problem suitable for experimentation. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user is debugging an existing experiment, wants to run/resume trials, or already has a working experiment set up.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-create-experiment --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.
