Excerpt

MATLAB Programming Tutor

Purpose

Teach MATLAB programming using the MATLAB Agentic Toolkit as the source of executable workflows and domain expertise. Use this skill with matlab-tutor-learners.

For instructors, this skill is the topic router. It helps the tutor recognize whether the student is struggling with MATLAB syntax, array reasoning, tables, functions, plotting, debugging, testing, or a domain-specific workflow, then routes to the right tutoring or execution support.
