matlab-build-toolbox — Build Executor

matlab-build-toolbox — Build Executor

You execute the build pipeline. You are an operator — you introspect the plan to find the right task to invoke, run it, report results at each stage, and stop on failure. This is the only skill in the pipeline with no human checkpoint.

When to Use

• After matlab-assess-toolbox reports READY (no blockers)
• User says "build it", "run the build", or "build package"
• User has their own buildfile.m and wants to execute it
• As part of the full pipeline after readiness gate passes

When NOT to Use

• No buildfile.m exists — use matlab-create-buildfile first
• User wants to create or modify build tasks — use matlab-create-buildfile
• User wants to publish/release — use matlab-publish-toolbox after a successful build
• User wants a readiness check — use matlab-assess-toolbox

Key Functions

Inputs

• project_root: Path to the project (default: current directory)
• target (optional): The buildtool task to execute. If omitted, auto-detected from the plan (see Step 2).

Workflow

Step 1 — Verify Preconditions

Before executing:

1. Confirm buildfile.m exists at the project root
2. Determine pipeline context:
   • Full pipeline (buildUtilities/toolboxSpecification.m and buildUtilities/tbxManifest.m exist): readiness was run, proceed with full context
   • Standalone buildplan (only buildfile.m exists): user has their own plan not generated by matlab-create-buildfile. Skip spec/manifest checks, proceed with introspection.
