simulink-single-precision-conversion
Converts a double-precision Simulink system or subsystem to single precision using DataTypeWorkflow.Single (Fixed-Point Designer). The single conversion replaces all user-specified double-precision data types, as well as output data types that compile to double precision, with single-precision data types. Use this skill when converting Simulink systems to single precision, reducing memory usage of a Simulink system, optimizing for embedded targets. Do NOT use for standalone MATLAB .m code single conversion.

# Single-Precision Conversion for Simulink Models (Fixed-Point Designer) Toolbox: **Fixed-Point Designer** Function: `DataTypeWorkflow.Single.convertToSingle` Converts user-specified double-precision data types — across block settings, Stateflow chart settings, signal objects, and bus objects — to single precision. **Boolean, built-in integer (int8, uint8, int16, …), and fixed-point types are left unchanged.** ## When to Use - Converting a Simulink model (`.slx`) or subsystem from double-precision to single-precision - Reducing memory footprint for embedded hardware with native single-precision support - Batch/CI conversions, checking conversion compatibility, or verifying no stowaway doubles remain - Summarizing the single conversion compatibility report and conversion result for the user in plain language ## When NOT to Use - **Standalone MATLAB `.m` code** — use the `convertToSingle` function with `coder.config('single')` instead - **Fixed-point data type optimization** — use `DataTypeWorkflow.Converter` instead --- ## Public API ```matlab ConversionReport = DataTypeWorkflow.Single.convertToSingle(systemToConvert) ``` - `systemToConvert` (char) — full block path of the **loaded*

What does the simulink-single-precision-conversion skill do?
Converts a double-precision Simulink system or subsystem to single precision using DataTypeWorkflow.Single (Fixed-Point Designer). The single conversion replaces all user-specified double-precision data types, as well as output data types that compile to double precision, with single-precision data types. Use this skill when converting Simulink systems to single precision, reducing memory usage of a Simulink system, optimizing for embedded targets. Do NOT use for standalone MATLAB .m code single conversion.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit --skill simulink-single-precision-conversion --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.
