matlab-generate-course SKILL.md skillA

matlab-generate-course from matlab/agent-skills-playground is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add matlab/agent-skills-playground/matlab-generate-course@v1.0

Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Interview an instructor and generate a complete MATLAB and Simulink enabled course in IMS Common Cartridge format. Use when the user asks to create a MATLAB course, Simulink course, MATLAB and Simulink curriculum, MATLAB Course Designer-ready course shell, Common Cartridge course package, .imscc export, MATLAB Exercises with validated .m files, or Simulink Exercises with starter and solution model files. Coordinates IDStack, MATLAB Agentic Toolkit, Simulink Agentic Toolkit…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# MATLAB Course Designer

Create a complete MATLAB and Simulink enabled course package through an
instructor interview. The final deliverable is an IMS Common Cartridge `.imscc`
file plus reviewable source artifacts for the instructor.

The generated course must conform to the MATLAB Course Designer organization
model: one course contains one or more ordered modules, and each module contains
one or more ordered learning activities. Preserve this hierarchy in all
intermediate artifacts so future API work can create MATLAB Course Designer
course instances directly. Use the public MATLAB Course Designer documentation
as the source for this hierarchy:
<https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab-and-simulink-online-courses/matlab-course-designer.html>.

Do not hand-roll workflows that already exist in prerequisite skills:

- Use IDStack for instructional design pipeline work and Common Cartridge export.
- Use the MATLAB Agentic Toolkit for MATLAB activity, code, data, validation, and
  live-script-ready guidance.
- Use the `matlab-create-course-activity` skill to create Course Designer-ready MATLAB

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add matlab/agent-skills-playground/matlab-generate-course@sha256:e1d9b377830a9edf

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
