MATLAB and GNU Octave

Use this skill to design or review numerical code, migrate MATLAB releases, prepare reproducible projects, and plan trusted execution. MATLAB and GNU Octave are distinct products: compatibility is partial, not a license or behavior guarantee.

Review scope

Reviewed against current MathWorks R2026b documentation and GNU Octave 11.3.0 sources on 2026-10-01. The bundled Engine planner and MATLAB examples retain an explicit R2026a baseline. R2026b supports CPython 3.10-3.14; do not reuse the R2026a Engine package for it. MATLAB/Octave examples are illustrative and were not executed in this review; the Python helpers have local synthetic tests. This skill uses local runtime APIs, with no remote service endpoint or API key.
