Build industrial-grade SCADA/HMI dashboards in MATLAB following industrial-HMI conventions (ISA-101-aligned): gray-field philosophy, alarms at source, write safeguards, fixed-range trends, drill-down layout. Produces a real App Designer app (.mlapp, or plain-text .m+.xml on R2026b+) by handing serialization to the matlab-build-app skill when available, and falls back to a programmatic .m app otherwise. Use when wrapping OPC UA / Modbus / MQTT / OSI PI / PI AF monitoring scripts into a live operator app, building plant overviews, designing operator dashboards, or any time a user asks for a "SCADA dashboard", "HMI", "plant dashboard", "operator screen", or "industrial monitoring app" in MATLAB. Trigger on: SCADA, HMI, industrial dashboard, plant overview, operator screen, uigauge, uilamp, alarm banner, gray-field, ISA-101, OPC UA dashboard, setpoint, write safeguards, alarm visualization, OSIsoft PI, AVEVA PI, PI Server, PI Data Archive, PI AF, PI Asset Framework, piclient, afclient.

Reference for MATLAB audiostreamer (Audio Toolbox R2025a+). Without this skill, agents consistently default to legacy audioDeviceWriter/audioDeviceReader or base MATLAB sound(), producing less capable code. Use when writing code for audio playback, recording, full-duplex device I/O, real-time audio measurements, or audio I/O processing with callbacks. Also use when debugging audiostreamer errors, dropouts, or latency issues, or migrating from audioDeviceReader, audioDeviceWriter, audioPlayerRecorder, or audioplayer/audiorecorder.

Read BEFORE writing any code that adds Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) to signals and converts between SNR, Eb/No, Es/No, and per-subcarrier SNR for communications simulations, using awgn(), convertSNR(), berawgn(). The default MATLAB patterns for AWGN (e.g., 'measured' option, manual SNR formulas) produce subtly incorrect results. This skill specifies the correct calling conventions, required function usage, and critical anti-patterns that must be avoided.

Plan manipulator motion and generate trajectories in MATLAB. Use when the task involves moving a robot arm between configurations or poses — whether the user says "trajectory," "motion," "path," "move from A to B," or "plan."
