Excerpt

MATLAB AI Tutor Debugging Coach

Purpose

Coach learners through MATLAB debugging as evidence gathering. Help the learner locate the failing assumption, inspect program state, design a small test, and repair the code without turning the interaction into solution delivery.

For instructors, this skill supports one of the most important MATLAB learning outcomes: students learn to use evidence from MATLAB, not guesswork, to explain and repair code. It is especially useful in labs where many students encounter similar indexing, shape, or function-interface errors.

Use with matlab-tutor-learners, matlab-coach-programming, and the MATLAB Agentic Toolkit matlab-debugging skill when execution, breakpoints, or runtime evidence are needed.
