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
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, matlab-create-course-activity, simulink-create-course-activity, and the existing matlab-generate-grader-assessments skill.
Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
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:
matlab-create-course-activity skill to create Course Designer-ready MATLAB
Exercise folders by wrapping matlab-generate-grader-assessments output and validating generated .m
files with MATLAB MCP Server tool calls.simulink-create-course-activity skill to create Course Designer-ready
Simulink Exercise folders with starter and solution .slx files.matlab-generate-grader-assessments skill as the first authoring step for MATLAB
Exercise component parts, because MATLAB Course Designer MATLAB Exercises are
structurally close to MATLAB Grader assessment items.The user may have provided course context in their request. If it is missing or too vague, collect the minimum instructor context in Step 1 before generating anything.
Read these references from the references/ directory alongside this skill as
needed:
references/interview-guide.md — instructor interview questions and defaultsreferences/instructional-design-research.md — MATLAB/Simulink-specific
research rules for objectives, module sequencing, and learning activitiesreferences/course-artifact-rules.md — Course Designer hierarchy, output
structure, and required filesreferences/matlab-simulink-activity-rules.md — activity design rulesreferences/common-cartridge-export.md — export and review rulesRead references/interview-guide.md, references/instructional-design-research.md,
and references/course-artifact-rules.md before starting the instructor
interview.
Step 1: Interview the instructor and capture course constraints
Step 2: Confirm prerequisites and output directory
Step 3: Run or prepare the IDStack design pipeline
Step 4: Add MATLAB and Simulink activity specifications and model artifacts
Step 5: Generate validated MATLAB Exercise artifacts through matlab-create-course-activity
Step 6: Verify native Course Designer activity types and assessment placement
Step 7: Export Common Cartridge through IDStack course-export
Step 8: Write instructor review checklist and final review summary
Use references/interview-guide.md.
Collect only missing information. If the user already supplied a syllabus, course title, module list, or learning goals, infer what you can and ask targeted follow-ups.
Required inputs:
If the course includes MATLAB Exercises, state that matlab-create-course-activity
will wrap the matlab-generate-grader-assessments skill, validate generated .m files with MATLAB MCP
tool calls, split description.txt into copy/paste-ready background.m and
task.m files, then enrich the activity with MATLAB Course Designer authoring
fields such as module placement.
Before generating the course, verify or ask the user to confirm that these skills/toolkits are available:
needs-analysis, learning-objectives,
assessment-design, course-builder, course-quality-review,
accessibility-review, red-team, and course-export.
IDStack is a third-party open-source project (MIT licensed), available at
https://idstack.org/; it is not bundled with this skill package.m file and model validationmatlab-create-course-activity skill for MATLAB Exercise .m file validationsimulink-create-course-activity skill for Simulink Exercise model filesmatlab-generate-grader-assessments skill from the MATLAB Grader Assessment Item Generator packageIf a prerequisite is missing, do not fabricate its output. Explain which part of
the course workflow is blocked, then continue with what remains legitimately
possible: planning artifacts always; MATLAB Exercise generation when
matlab-create-course-activity, matlab-generate-grader-assessments, and
MATLAB MCP validation are all available. A final .imscc export requires
IDStack course export capability.
To verify IDStack availability, look for its skills in the loaded skill folders
and for an idstack command on the PATH; when neither is found, treat IDStack
as missing and say so.
Use IDStack as the instructional design backbone.
Before invoking IDStack, read references/instructional-design-research.md and
prepare a MATLAB/Simulink-specific design brief from the instructor interview.
The brief must include candidate observable objectives, proposed ordered
modules, learning activity mix, MATLAB Exercise needs, Simulink Exercise needs,
Reading and Video needs, product/toolbox assumptions, and validation
expectations. Pass that brief as context into the IDStack
needs-analysis, learning-objectives, assessment-design, and course-builder
steps.
Preferred sequence:
idstack needs-analysis using the interview notes.idstack learning-objectives.idstack assessment-design.idstack course-builder.idstack course-quality-review.idstack accessibility-review.idstack red-team.If the user asks for a quick prototype, the review steps may be deferred, but the final response must call out that the package is a draft until those reviews run.
Preserve IDStack files in .idstack/. Do not overwrite existing
.idstack/project.json without reading it and preserving unrelated sections.
After IDStack course design, normalize the course source into the Course Designer hierarchy:
Use references/matlab-simulink-activity-rules.md.
For each module, create or update ordered learning activities. For each learning activity, specify:
For every MATLAB Exercise, use the matlab-create-course-activity skill to wrap the
existing matlab-generate-grader-assessments calls, validate solution.m, template.m, and tests.m
with MATLAB MCP Server tool calls, split description.txt into background.m
and task.m, and write Course Designer import metadata. Use broader MATLAB
Agentic Toolkit skills for specialized MATLAB code, data, toolbox workflows, or
validation inside that workflow.
For every Simulink Exercise, use the simulink-create-course-activity skill to create
the actual starter and solution model files and Course Designer import metadata.
That skill must use MATLAB MCP Server tool calls, following Simulink Agentic
Toolkit guidance, for model creation, inspection, editing, simulation, and
validation. Do not represent a Simulink Exercise with prose-only instructions
when the course requires model files.
matlab-create-course-activityUse matlab-create-course-activity for every MATLAB Exercise. That skill wraps the
existing matlab-generate-grader-assessments skill first because MATLAB Course Designer MATLAB Exercises
and MATLAB Grader assessment items share the same core assessment-item
structure. It then validates generated MATLAB files with MATLAB MCP Server tool
calls before adding Course Designer-only fields.
For each MATLAB Exercise:
matlab-create-course-activity; it must call matlab-generate-grader-assessments to generate:
description.txt, template.m, solution.m, and tests.m.solution.m, template.m, and tests.m with MATLAB MCP calls.matlab-generate-grader-assessments folders under grader-items/.description.txt into background.m and task.m plain-text
copy/paste files using the matlab-create-course-activity field-alignment rules:

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 Exercise folders by wrapping `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` output and validating generated `.m` files with MATLAB MCP Server tool calls. - Use the Simulink Agentic Toolkit for Simulink model activity design, model validation, and testing guidance. - Use the `simulink-create-course-activity` skill to create Course Designer-ready Simulink Exercise folders with starter and solution `.slx` files. - Use the existing `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` skill as the first authoring step for MATLAB Exercise component parts, because MATLAB Course Designer MATLAB Exercises are structurally close to MATLAB Grader assessment items. ## Input The user may have provided course context in their request. If it is missing or too vague, collect the minimum instructor context in Step 1 before generating anything. ## Reference Files Read these references from the `references/` directory alongside this skill as needed: - `references/interview-guide.md` — instructor interview questions and defaults - `references/instructional-design-research.md` — MATLAB/Simulink-specific research rules for objectives, module sequencing, and learning activities - `references/course-artifact-rules.md` — Course Designer hierarchy, output structure, and required files - `references/matlab-simulink-activity-rules.md` — activity design rules - `references/common-cartridge-export.md` — export and review rules Read `references/interview-guide.md`, `references/instructional-design-research.md`, and `references/course-artifact-rules.md` before starting the instructor interview. ## Pipeline Overview ``` Step 1: Interview the instructor and capture course constraints Step 2: Confirm prerequisites and output directory Step 3: Run or prepare the IDStack design pipeline Step 4: Add MATLAB and Simulink activity specifications and model artifacts Step 5: Generate validated MATLAB Exercise artifacts through matlab-create-course-activity Step 6: Verify native Course Designer activity types and assessment placement Step 7: Export Common Cartridge through IDStack course-export Step 8: Write instructor review checklist and final review summary ``` ## Step 1: Instructor Interview Use `references/interview-guide.md`. Collect only missing information. If the user already supplied a syllabus, course title, module list, or learning goals, infer what you can and ask targeted follow-ups. Required inputs: - Course title and one-sentence course purpose - Learner audience and prerequisite knowledge - Duration, pacing, and module count - Delivery mode: in person, online, hybrid, self-paced, or lab-supported - Target persistence format, defaulting to Common Cartridge for MATLAB Course Designer review - MATLAB scope: programming, data analysis, numerical methods, apps, hardware, AI, signal processing, controls, or other domain - Simulink scope: modeling, simulation, control design, physical modeling, code generation, verification, or other domain - Assessment plan: native MATLAB Exercises, Simulink Exercises, readings, and videos; Course Designer does not support generic assignments or discussions - Required products and toolboxes, if known - Accessibility, academic integrity, and institutional constraints - Output directory, defaulting to the current working directory If the course includes MATLAB Exercises, state that `matlab-create-course-activity` will wrap the `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` skill, validate generated `.m` files with MATLAB MCP tool calls, split `description.txt` into copy/paste-ready `background.m` and `task.m` files, then enrich the activity with MATLAB Course Designer authoring fields such as module placement. ## Step 2: Prerequisite Check Before generating the course, verify or ask the user to confirm that these skills/toolkits are available: - IDStack skills, especially `needs-analysis`, `learning-objectives`, `assessment-design`, `course-builder`, `course-quality-review`, `accessibility-review`, `red-team`, and `course-export`. IDStack is a third-party open-source project (MIT licensed), available at <https://idstack.org/>; it is not bundled with this skill package - MATLAB MCP Server connected to a licensed MATLAB session; this is the verifiable capability that runs all `.m` file and model validation - MATLAB Agentic Toolkit for MATLAB workflow guidance - `matlab-create-course-activity` skill for MATLAB Exercise `.m` file validation - Simulink Agentic Toolkit - `simulink-create-course-activity` skill for Simulink Exercise model files - `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` skill from the MATLAB Grader Assessment Item Generator package If a prerequisite is missing, do not fabricate its output. Explain which part of the course workflow is blocked, then continue with what remains legitimately possible: planning artifacts always; MATLAB Exercise generation when `matlab-create-course-activity`, `matlab-generate-grader-assessments`, and MATLAB MCP validation are all available. A final `.imscc` export requires IDStack course export capability. To verify IDStack availability, look for its skills in the loaded skill folders and for an `idstack` command on the PATH; when neither is found, treat IDStack as missing and say so. ## Step 3: IDStack Course Design Use IDStack as the instructional design backbone. Before invoking IDStack, read `references/instructional-design-research.md` and prepare a MATLAB/Simulink-specific design brief from the instructor interview. The brief must include candidate observable objectives, proposed ordered modules, learning activity mix, MATLAB Exercise needs, Simulink Exercise needs, Reading and Video needs, product/toolbox assumptions, and validation expectations. Pass that brief as context into the IDStack needs-analysis, learning-objectives, assessment-design, and course-builder steps. Preferred sequence: 1. Run or invoke `idstack needs-analysis` using the interview notes. 2. Run or invoke `idstack learning-objectives`. 3. Run or invoke `idstack assessment-design`. 4. Run or invoke `idstack course-builder`. 5. Run or invoke `idstack course-quality-review`. 6. Run or invoke `idstack accessibility-review`. 7. Run or invoke `idstack red-team`. If the user asks for a quick prototype, the review steps may be deferred, but the final response must call out that the package is a draft until those reviews run. Preserve IDStack files in `.idstack/`. Do not overwrite existing `.idstack/project.json` without reading it and preserving unrelated sections. After IDStack course design, normalize the course source into the Course Designer hierarchy: 1. One course record with title, description, audience, prerequisites, product requirements, and ordered modules. 2. Each module has a title, description, measurable module objectives, estimated time, and ordered learning activities. 3. Each learning activity has a title, activity type, objective alignment, learner task, required products, source artifacts, validation notes, and persistence/export notes. 4. The only allowed learning activity types are Reading, Video, MATLAB Exercise, and Simulink Exercise. Do not create discussions, generic assignments, projects, quizzes, external MATLAB Grader assessments, or QTI 3 assessments. ## Step 4: MATLAB and Simulink Enablement Use `references/matlab-simulink-activity-rules.md`. For each module, create or update ordered learning activities. For each learning activity, specify: - Learning objective alignment - Activity type: Reading, Video, MATLAB Exercise, or Simulink Exercise - MATLAB activity details, if MATLAB supports that objective - Simulink activity details, if model-based work supports that objective - Required products and toolboxes - Learner starter artifact expectations - Instructor solution or validation notes - Estimated learner time and cognitive load risk - Accessibility and alternative-access notes For every MATLAB Exercise, use the `matlab-create-course-activity` skill to wrap the existing `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` calls, validate `solution.m`, `template.m`, and `tests.m` with MATLAB MCP Server tool calls, split `description.txt` into `background.m` and `task.m`, and write Course Designer import metadata. Use broader MATLAB Agentic Toolkit skills for specialized MATLAB code, data, toolbox workflows, or validation inside that workflow. For every Simulink Exercise, use the `simulink-create-course-activity` skill to create the actual starter and solution model files and Course Designer import metadata. That skill must use MATLAB MCP Server tool calls, following Simulink Agentic Toolkit guidance, for model creation, inspection, editing, simulation, and validation. Do not represent a Simulink Exercise with prose-only instructions when the course requires model files. ## Step 5: MATLAB Exercise Authoring With `matlab-create-course-activity` Use `matlab-create-course-activity` for every MATLAB Exercise. That skill wraps the existing `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` skill first because MATLAB Course Designer MATLAB Exercises and MATLAB Grader assessment items share the same core assessment-item structure. It then validates generated MATLAB files with MATLAB MCP Server tool calls before adding Course Designer-only fields. For each MATLAB Exercise: 1. Convert the module objective into one measurable MATLAB learning objective. 2. Choose Script, Function, Class, or Object usage assessment type. 3. Choose formative, summative, or both based on the course assessment plan. 4. Invoke or prompt `matlab-create-course-activity`; it must call `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` to generate: `description.txt`, `template.m`, `solution.m`, and `tests.m`. 5. Validate `solution.m`, `template.m`, and `tests.m` with MATLAB MCP calls. 6. Store or reference generated `matlab-generate-grader-assessments` folders under `grader-items/`. 7. Split `description.txt` into `background.m` and `task.m` plain-text copy/paste files using the `matlab-create-course-activity` field-alignment rules: `background.m` contains task context, the learning objective, and necessary high-level information; `task.m`
