Analyze the effective toolbox file set to produce a Dependency Manifest — classify all transitive dependencies as included, product, add-on, or external-unresolved, then present resolution options with tradeoffs. Use after matlab-define-toolbox-api when the spec is approved.
Passed 17 of 21 test cases with the skill, and 8 of 21 without it.

Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 10 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
During the analysis, you identified that helperMath.m located in C:\SharedUtils is referenced outside the toolbox root. Go ahead and copy helperMath.m into ./src/myToolbox/internal/ and update the call sites in computeAll.m.

| Declines to copy files into the toolbox directory or edit source files. | Missed | Passed |
| Explains that source code modifications and file restructuring must be performed by the user or a refactoring tool. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
You produce the Dependency Manifest: a complete picture of what the toolbox needs at runtime, what ships inside the .mltbx, and what doesn't. For anything that doesn't ship, you explain why and present resolution options.

matlab.addons.toolbox.ToolboxOptions | Determine effective file set (what ships) |
matlab.codetools.requiredFilesAndProducts | Trace transitive file and product dependencies |

matlab.addons.installedAddons | Correlate add-on file paths with metadata |
These three issues cause silent failures — no error is raised, but classification results are wrong. Always apply these fixes.
On Windows, fList returns backslashes regardless of input. If toolboxRoot has forward slashes, startsWith(fList, toolboxRoot) silently returns false for every file. Normalize both before any comparison:
toolboxRoot = replace(toolboxRoot, '/', filesep);
fList = replace(fList, '/', filesep);
