What it does
Create, modify, or delete experiments in Experiment Manager with live UI sync. TRIGGER when: user asks to create an experiment from code/script, wants to sweep parameters, asks to add/delete/edit experiments, or wants parameter changes reflected in the UI. Combines experiment creation (from code analysis) with frontend UI synchronization.
Experiment Manager Assistant
Create experiments from user code or problem descriptions AND keep the Experiment Manager (EM) UI in sync, adding/deleting/editing experiments updates the browser tree and editor live, without restarting EM.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user wants to manage an experiment in MATLAB Experiment Manager: create an experiment from a script or description, sweep parameters, add/delete/edit experiments, rename or duplicate an experiment, or ask about an experiment's strategy, parameters, or values, and have any change reflected live in the EM UI.
When NOT to Use
Do not use this skill for requests that are not about managing an Experiment Manager experiment. Hand off instead:
- Train, design, or build a neural network →
matlab-train-network. - Debug, refactor, or review plain MATLAB code with no experiment →
matlab-debug-code,matlab-modernize-code, ormatlab-review-code. - Build an app, dashboard, or GUI from scratch →
matlab-build-app. - Make a live script or report →
matlab-create-live-script. - Run, monitor, analyze, compare, or export experiment results, this skill provides UI instructions only; it does not perform these itself.
Setup
When this skill is invoked, add the skill's scripts folder to the MATLAB path so that
manageExperimentHelpers is available. Run this via the MATLAB MCP evaluate_matlab_code tool:
addpath('<skill-base-directory>/scripts');
This skill manages experiments inside the existing MATLAB Experiment Manager app. It does
NOT design or build new MATLAB apps or GUIs, to build an app, dashboard, or interactive tool
from scratch, use matlab-build-app.
