Use this skill for any work involving a MATLAB Project (.prj) — creating a new project, tracking files, managing the project path, configuring Simulink cache and code-generation folders, running project health checks, or writing build scripts that keep the project in sync with the file system. Trigger phrases include "set up a MATLAB project", "create a .prj", "track this file in the project", "project health check", or writing build scripts that keep the project in sync with the file system. This skill is the generic foundation; domain-specific skills (e.g. mbse-workflow) build on it.
setupProject, registerWithProject and conventions for idempotent build scripts, tracking, and path management.Run setupProject with a projectName, projectFolder, and derivedSubfolders to initialize a MATLAB Project and integrate with Simulink cache/codegen directories.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Initialize a MATLAB project by running setupProject with a projectName, projectFolder, and derivedSubfolders to configure the .prj file and manage its file paths. This registers files and integrates Simulink cache and codegen directories.
A MATLAB project health check verifies that your project files, paths, and dependencies are correctly configured and synchronized with the file system. Run health checks during MBSE workflows to detect path issues or missing files before executing build scripts.
Write idempotent build scripts for a MATLAB .prj by following the functional conventions defined by the project skill, ensuring repeated executions keep the project in sync with the file system without duplicating path entries or file tracking modifications.
Yes, you can track new files and configure Simulink cache folders in an existing MATLAB project using the registerWithProject helper. This enables ongoing path management and codegen folder setup without recreating the project from scratch.
Yes, the MATLAB project setup skill supports structured living documentation by maintaining plan.md and decisions.md files at the project root. Domain-specific skills can reuse and override these living-doc templates and behaviors.
MATLAB project paths may not update if build scripts are not idempotent or if files are not explicitly tracked via registerWithProject. Running a project health check verifies synchronization between the file system and the project path configuration.
