MATLAB AI Tutor Course Policy Builder
Interviews an instructor in short rounds and generates an LMS-ready AI-POLICY.md that MATLAB AI tutoring guardrails can enforce locally.

What it does
- Runs a structured interview (max three questions per round) covering nine required policy items: course identity, overall AI stance, per-activity rules, attribution, privacy, enforcement level, review cadence.
- Extracts answers from an existing syllabus or policy first, then asks only about gaps.
- Writes a learner-facing
AI-POLICY.mdin the current working directory after confirming interpreted choices. - Separates allowed tutor help (concept explanations, debugging, code review, tests, reflection) from restricted help (final solutions, answer keys, hidden-test bypass, pre-attempt polishing).
- Adds "Local MATLAB AI Tutor Enforcement" and "Policy Summary for Tutor Guardrails" blocks so assignment guardrails can read and apply the policy.
- Refuses to invent institutional or honor-code language; unclear items become conservative-default placeholders.
Who it's for
- Instructors and TAs piloting an AI tutor in MATLAB-based engineering or math courses
- Educators who must document AI rules for graded work
- Anyone wanting the LMS-posted policy and the tool's actual behavior to match
Examples
- "Draft an AI policy for next term's Numerical Methods course" → interview, then
AI-POLICY.md. - Hand it an existing syllabus; it mines answers and only asks what's missing.
- "No AI on exams, debugging-only on homework" → calibrated wording drawn from the bundled policy examples.

Try it now, no install
Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matlab/agent-skills-playground/HEAD/demos/ai-tutoring/skills/matlab-create-ai-policy/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the demos/ai-tutoring/skills/matlab-create-ai-policy folder from the GitHub repo matlab/agent-skills-playground into my ~/.claude/skills/matlab-create-ai-policy/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/matlab/agent-skills-playground.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r agent-skills-playground/demos/ai-tutoring/skills/matlab-create-ai-policy ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/matlab/agent-skills-playground.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r agent-skills-playground/demos/ai-tutoring/skills/matlab-create-ai-policy ~/.claude/skills/ - Verify the
references/folder and example policy came along — the skill reads them. - Also copy
matlab-apply-assignment-guardrailsfrom the same demo if you want the policy actually enforced during tutoring sessions. - Change into your course folder, start Claude Code, and ask: "Create a course AI-use policy for my class."
