What it does
Find, show, open, or identify shipped MathWorks example models that demonstrate a concept, block, or application domain, and return the command to open them.
Finding Simulink Examples
Use this skill to find examples and models in the MathWorks Examples database.
Use the invokeModelFinder helper script to search the database of shipped MathWorks example models, then report matching examples.
invokeModelFinder searches a database of every example MathWorks ships across all products. It is a database search, not a scan of the local disk: a hit means the example exists in the MathWorks database and comes with the command to open it, regardless of what is currently open or saved locally. Opening a match requires the owning product to be installed; the returned open_command (e.g. openExample(...)) handles that.
invokeModelFinder is a helper script that ships with this skill in its scripts/ folder. It exists because the customer-facing modelfinder function is interactive, it opens a Selection: menu in the terminal and blocks, so it cannot be driven programmatically. invokeModelFinder is a thin, non-interactive wrapper that returns results directly. Call it with evaluate_matlab_code, setting project_path to the skill's scripts/ folder so MATLAB can resolve the function (never use addpath):
invokeModelFinder('<query>', '<filters_json>', '<max_results>', '<view>')
