What problem does it solve?
Writing MATLAB help comments that follow MathWorks documentation standards is error-prone: default patterns like Inputs:/Outputs: lists, block comments, and uppercase See Also lines produce non-conforming output. This Skill generates or rewrites help text that passes MathWorks conventions on the first attempt.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Standards-Compliant Help Generation: Produces H1 lines, syntax paragraphs, See Also lines, and optional Example/Note sections with correct help casing, 75-character line limits, and proper indentation.
- Class and Method Support: Handles classdef files with functions/properties listings, property postfix comments, and access-aware method help (full help for public methods, H1-only for private methods, getters, and setters).
- Arguments Block Parsing: Reads MATLAB arguments blocks to derive required, optional, and name-value syntax paragraphs automatically.
- Use Case: You wrote a new MATLAB function with an arguments block and need documentation. The Skill resolves the file, analyzes its signature, drafts conforming help text, and inserts it after your review.
Quick Start
Ask your agent to write MathWorks-standard help text for a specific MATLAB file, for example: generate help text for myFunction.m following MathWorks documentation standards.
