What it does
Create and register Simulink block icons programmatically. Use when asked to create an icon, generate a block icon, design an SVG icon for a Simulink block, register an icon, or help with IconEditor features like visibility conditions, layout constraints, parts, port labels, dynamic text, or block frame shapes (e.g. a round or capsule outline).
Simulink Block Icon Creator
Creates Simulink block icons the MathWorks-recommended way: a DVG SVG registered on the block
(not MaskDisplay drawing), which stays editable in the IconEditor.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user wants to create, design, or register a graphical icon on a Simulink block, including:
- Generating an SVG icon for a block (masked, plain, or Simscape component)
- Adding dynamic icon behavior: visibility conditions, live expression/parameter text, equations, relative positioning, or first-fit sizing
- Drawing or anchoring port labels on a block's icon
- Registering an existing icon SVG onto a block, or opening a block's icon in the IconEditor
When NOT to Use
- Editing a model's structure, parameters, ports, or connections (adding/wiring/deleting blocks, changing block parameters, Stateflow internals), that is model building, not icon appearance (e.g.
building-simulink-models, if available). - Registering or configuring
.slxblock libraries for model building, that is library setup, not icon creation (e.g.setup-custom-libraries, if available).
Mixed requests. If a request also needs something outside icon authoring (e.g. a port that doesn't exist yet), tell the user up front that this part is out of this skill's scope. If they already asked for it, it can be done without this skill; otherwise ask. Do the icon part once its prerequisites exist.
Key Functions
Bundled in scripts/; all require Simulink, R2026a or later.
