MATLAB Course Activity Generator

Create MATLAB Course Designer-ready MATLAB Exercise learning activities. This skill is a wrapper around the existing matlab-generate-grader-assessments skill: use matlab-generate-grader-assessments first to create the shared MATLAB Grader-style component parts, then use MATLAB MCP Server tool calls to validate the generated MATLAB files and add Course Designer authoring metadata.

Input

The user may have provided a module objective or activity idea in their request. If it is missing or too vague, collect missing activity inputs in Step 1.

Reference Files

Read these references from the references/ directory as needed:

references/grader-wrapper-workflow.md — how to call and use matlab-generate-grader-assessments
references/matlab-validation-rules.md — MATLAB MCP validation workflow
references/course-designer-artifacts.md — output folder and metadata rules

Read references/grader-wrapper-workflow.md and references/course-designer-artifacts.md before creating artifacts.

Required Tooling

Use the existing matlab-generate-grader-assessments skill for the initial component generation. Use MATLAB MCP Server calls for validation:

detect_matlab_toolboxes for product/toolbox availability
check_matlab_code for static analysis of .m files
run_matlab_file for runnable scripts, validation drivers, or test harnesses
evaluate_matlab_code for targeted checks, path setup, function calls, and MATLAB Exercise test smoke checks

Do not claim a MATLAB Exercise is ready unless the generated MATLAB files have been checked through MATLAB MCP calls or the final output clearly marks validation as partial.

Pipeline Overview

Step 1: Collect activity inputs and Course Designer placement
Step 2: Invoke grader for shared MATLAB Exercise component parts
Step 3: Split description.txt into background.m and task.m
Step 4: Add Course Designer-only authoring fields
Step 5: Validate solution.m, template.m, and tests.m with MATLAB MCP calls
Step 6: Write Course Designer-ready activity metadata and review notes

Step 1: Activity Inputs

Collect only missing information:

Course title or course identifier
Module title and module order
Learning activity title and activity order
Module objective and observable learner outcome
MATLAB concept: script, function, class, object usage, data analysis, visualization, numerical methods, app workflow, or another domain
Assessment purpose: formative, summative, or both
Required MATLAB and toolbox products
Starter/template expectations
Solution behavior
Validation requirements
Output directory

Default to a Course Designer learning activity type of MATLAB Exercise.

Step 2: Invoke `matlab-generate-grader-assessments`

Use references/grader-wrapper-workflow.md.

Call or prompt the existing matlab-generate-grader-assessments skill before creating Course Designer metadata. The expected matlab-generate-grader-assessments output is:

description.txt
template.m
solution.m
tests.m
function_call.m (Function assessment items)
supporting_class.m (Object usage assessment items)

Store the matlab-generate-grader-assessments output under:

grader-items/module-NN-activity-MM-[slug]/

[slug] is the assessment item's snake_case title with underscores replaced by hyphens. This wrapper placement overrides the generator's standalone {snake_title}/ folder rule.

Do not hand-write these files first. If matlab-generate-grader-assessments is unavailable, stop and report that MATLAB Exercise generation is blocked unless the user explicitly accepts a planning-only fallback.

Step 3: Split Description for Course Designer

Create two plaintext .m files from description.txt for copy/paste into the MATLAB Course Designer web application:

Per the MATLAB Course Designer documentation for creating MATLAB Exercises: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab-and-simulink-online-courses/ug/create-matlab-exercise-using-matlab-course-designer.html

The Background field sets the context for the task, explains the learning objective, and provides high-level information learners need to complete the task.
The Task field provides the instructions learners follow to complete the task, including specific instructions such as which functions or variable names to use.

Treat background.m and task.m as plain-text field transport files, not executable MATLAB scripts. Preserve the text exactly as it should be pasted into Course Designer. Do not prefix prose with % solely to make the files valid MATLAB code.

Split workflow:

Read description.txt once and mark each paragraph as context, objective, prerequisite, instruction, deliverable, constraint, self-check, or grading detail.
Put only context, purpose, learning objective, and necessary high-level prerequisite information in background.m.
Put concrete learner instructions, ordered task steps, deliverables, required variable/function/file names, constraints, expected outputs, and self-check prompts in task.m.
Move implementation details out of background.m and into task.m.
Move broad conceptual exposition out of task.m unless it is needed to understand a specific instruction.
If description.txt has no clear boundary, create a concise background from the opening context and put the full actionable prompt in task.m.
Keep hidden-test details, reference solution details, and grading mechanics out of both files unless they are intentionally learner-facing.
Do not modify the original description.txt; keep it in the matlab-generate-grader-assessments source folder.

Quality check:

background.m should still make sense if read before seeing the task steps.
task.m should be actionable without duplicating the full background.
Both files should be ready to paste into Course Designer text fields without cleanup.

Step 4: Add Course Designer Fields

Create the Course Designer MATLAB Exercise activity from the matlab-generate-grader-assessments output. Add fields that are needed by MATLAB Course Designer but not generated by the first-pass component workflow:

background.m and task.m copy/paste fields
Module placement and learning activity order
Estimated time
Prerequisite context
Required products and toolboxes
Learner setup notes
Course Designer persistence notes
Optional Common Cartridge placement notes

Step 5: Validate MATLAB Files

Use references/matlab-validation-rules.md.

At minimum:

Confirm solution.m, template.m, and tests.m exist.
Run check_matlab_code on solution.m, template.m, and tests.m only. background.m and task.m are plain-text copy/paste fields, not valid MATLAB code, and must not be linted.
Execute or smoke-test solution.m when runnable.
Validate tests.m syntax and MATLAB Exercise assess calls where possible.
Confirm the learner template preserves the expected names and scaffold.
Write all results to validation-report.md.

When execution is not possible because the generated item requires MATLAB Grader runtime functions, run static checks and targeted syntax checks, then mark runtime validation as partial.

Step 6: Course Designer Activity Artifacts

Use references/course-designer-artifacts.md.

Write these files in the activity folder:

activity.md
background.m
task.m
instructor-notes.md
validation-report.md
course-designer-activity.json
grader-source.md, the reference file that maps the activity to its grader-items/ source folder and component files (see references/course-designer-artifacts.md)

The course-designer-activity.json file is the import-oriented sidecar for future Course Designer API work. It must include course, module, learning activity, background.m, task.m, MATLAB file, product, validation, and matlab-generate-grader-assessments source metadata.

Output Rules

The final answer must list the activity folder, matlab-generate-grader-assessments source folder, metadata path, and validation report path.
Do not claim validation passed unless the MATLAB MCP checks passed.
If validation is partial, state exactly which checks were deferred.
Preserve the Course Designer hierarchy: course -> module -> learning activity.
Keep the matlab-generate-grader-assessments output intact and record any Course Designer-only additions separately.

# MATLAB Course Activity Generator

Create MATLAB Course Designer-ready MATLAB Exercise learning activities. This skill is
a wrapper around the existing `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` skill: use `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` first to create the
shared MATLAB Grader-style component parts, then use MATLAB MCP Server tool
calls to validate the generated MATLAB files and add Course Designer authoring
metadata.

## Input

The user may have provided a module objective or activity idea in their request.
If it is missing or too vague, collect missing activity inputs in Step 1.

## Reference Files

Read these references from the `references/` directory as needed:

- `references/grader-wrapper-workflow.md` — how to call and use `matlab-generate-grader-assessments`
- `references/matlab-validation-rules.md` — MATLAB MCP validation workflow
- `references/course-designer-artifacts.md` — output folder and metadata rules

Read `references/grader-wrapper-workflow.md` and
`references/course-designer-artifacts.md` before creating artifacts.

## Required Tooling

Use the existing `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` skill for the initial component generation. Use
MATLAB MCP Server calls for validation:

- `detect_matlab_toolboxes` for product/toolbox availability
- `check_matlab_code` for static analysis of `.m` files
- `run_matlab_file` for runnable scripts, validation drivers, or test harnesses
- `evaluate_matlab_code` for targeted checks, path setup, function calls, and
MATLAB Exercise test smoke checks

Do not claim a MATLAB Exercise is ready unless the generated MATLAB files have
been checked through MATLAB MCP calls or the final output clearly marks
validation as partial.

## Pipeline Overview

```
Step 1: Collect activity inputs and Course Designer placement
Step 2: Invoke grader for shared MATLAB Exercise component parts
Step 3: Split description.txt into background.m and task.m
Step 4: Add Course Designer-only authoring fields
Step 5: Validate solution.m, template.m, and tests.m with MATLAB MCP calls
Step 6: Write Course Designer-ready activity metadata and review notes
```

## Step 1: Activity Inputs

Collect only missing information:

- Course title or course identifier
- Module title and module order
- Learning activity title and activity order
- Module objective and observable learner outcome
- MATLAB concept: script, function, class, object usage, data analysis,
visualization, numerical methods, app workflow, or another domain
- Assessment purpose: formative, summative, or both
- Required MATLAB and toolbox products
- Starter/template expectations
- Solution behavior
- Validation requirements
- Output directory

Default to a Course Designer learning activity type of `MATLAB Exercise`.

## Step 2: Invoke `matlab-generate-grader-assessments`

Use `references/grader-wrapper-workflow.md`.

Call or prompt the existing `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` skill before creating Course Designer
metadata. The expected `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` output is:

- `description.txt`
- `template.m`
- `solution.m`
- `tests.m`
- `function_call.m` (Function assessment items)
- `supporting_class.m` (Object usage assessment items)

Store the `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` output under:

```text
grader-items/module-NN-activity-MM-[slug]/
```

`[slug]` is the assessment item's snake_case title with underscores replaced by
hyphens. This wrapper placement overrides the generator's standalone
`{snake_title}/` folder rule.

Do not hand-write these files first. If `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` is unavailable, stop and report
that MATLAB Exercise generation is blocked unless the user explicitly accepts a
planning-only fallback.

## Step 3: Split Description for Course Designer

Create two plaintext `.m` files from `description.txt` for copy/paste into the
MATLAB Course Designer web application:

Per the MATLAB Course Designer documentation for creating MATLAB Exercises:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab-and-simulink-online-courses/ug/create-matlab-exercise-using-matlab-course-designer.html

- The Background field sets the context for the task, explains the learning
objective, and provides high-level information learners need to complete the
task.
- The Task field provides the instructions learners follow to complete the
task, including specific instructions such as which functions or variable
names to use.

Treat `background.m` and `task.m` as plain-text field transport files, not
executable MATLAB scripts. Preserve the text exactly as it should be pasted into
Course Designer. Do not prefix prose with `%` solely to make the files valid
MATLAB code.

Split workflow:

1. Read `description.txt` once and mark each paragraph as context, objective,
prerequisite, instruction, deliverable, constraint, self-check, or grading
detail.
2. Put only context, purpose, learning objective, and necessary high-level
prerequisite information in `background.m`.
3. Put concrete learner instructions, ordered task steps, deliverables, required
variable/function/file names, constraints, expected outputs, and self-check
prompts in `task.m`.
4. Move implementation details out of `background.m` and into `task.m`.
5. Move broad conceptual exposition out of `task.m` unless it is needed to
understand a specific instruction.
6. If `description.txt` has no clear boundary, create a concise background from
the opening context and put the full actionable prompt in `task.m`.
7. Keep hidden-test details, reference solution details, and grading mechanics
out of both files unless they are intentionally learner-facing.
8. Do not modify the original `description.txt`; keep it in the `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` source
folder.

Quality check:

- `background.m` should still make sense if read before seeing the task steps.
- `task.m` should be actionable without duplicating the full background.
- Both files should be ready to paste into Course Designer text fields without
cleanup.

## Step 4: Add Course Designer Fields

Create the Course Designer MATLAB Exercise activity from the `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` output.
Add fields that are needed by MATLAB Course Designer but not generated by the
first-pass component workflow:

- `background.m` and `task.m` copy/paste fields
- Module placement and learning activity order
- Estimated time
- Prerequisite context
- Required products and toolboxes
- Learner setup notes
- Course Designer persistence notes
- Optional Common Cartridge placement notes

## Step 5: Validate MATLAB Files

Use `references/matlab-validation-rules.md`.

At minimum:

- Confirm `solution.m`, `template.m`, and `tests.m` exist.
- Run `check_matlab_code` on `solution.m`, `template.m`, and `tests.m` only.
`background.m` and `task.m` are plain-text copy/paste fields, not valid
MATLAB code, and must not be linted.
- Execute or smoke-test `solution.m` when runnable.
- Validate `tests.m` syntax and MATLAB Exercise assess calls where possible.
- Confirm the learner template preserves the expected names and scaffold.
- Write all results to `validation-report.md`.

When execution is not possible because the generated item requires MATLAB
Grader runtime functions, run static checks and targeted syntax checks, then
mark runtime validation as partial.

## Step 6: Course Designer Activity Artifacts

Use `references/course-designer-artifacts.md`.

Write these files in the activity folder:

- `activity.md`
- `background.m`
- `task.m`
- `instructor-notes.md`
- `validation-report.md`
- `course-designer-activity.json`
- `grader-source.md`, the reference file that maps the activity to its
`grader-items/` source folder and component files (see
`references/course-designer-artifacts.md`)

The `course-designer-activity.json` file is the import-oriented sidecar for
future Course Designer API work. It must include course, module, learning
activity, `background.m`, `task.m`, MATLAB file, product, validation, and
`matlab-generate-grader-assessments` source metadata.

## Output Rules

- The final answer must list the activity folder, `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` source folder,
metadata path, and validation report path.
- Do not claim validation passed unless the MATLAB MCP checks passed.
- If validation is partial, state exactly which checks were deferred.
- Preserve the Course Designer hierarchy: course -> module -> learning activity.
- Keep the `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` output intact and record any Course Designer-only additions
separately.
