+The MATLAB® Agentic Toolkit brings trusted MATLAB capabilities to AI agents, making engineering and scientific workflows agent-ready.
 
 ## What It Does
 AI coding agents are increasingly capable with MATLAB — but capability isn't expertise. Without guidance, agents reinvent what toolbox functions already provide, miss features they don't know about, and burn through extra steps that an experienced MATLAB user would skip. The MATLAB Agentic Toolkit gives your agent the knowledge and context to work efficiently from the start.

 ## How It Works
 The toolkit has two jobs. First, it gives your agent a live connection to MATLAB — so it can run code, execute tests, and analyze results, not just read and write files. Second, it provides curated expertise (called *skills*) that teach your agent how an experienced MATLAB engineer would approach a task. Your agent reads the relevant skill, then uses the MATLAB connection to do the work.

+### Alternative Installer (experimental)
+
+The Simulink Agentic Toolkit provides a MATLAB-based installer that can install and configure both toolkits. This installer offers several benefits over the current `matlab-agentic-toolkit-setup` skill:
+* It can install both the MATLAB and Simulink Agentic Toolkits. It is recommended for users who would like to use both
+* It supports the MATLAB MCP Core Server option to connect to an existing MATLAB session (`--matlab-session-mode=existing`)
+* It provides the option to configure your agent to use the toolkits for individual projects, not just globally
+* This installer does not consume agent tokens
+
+The tradeoff is that it is newer and less thoroughly tested than the agent-driven setup above.
+
+1. Download `agenticToolkitInstaller.mltbx` from the [Simulink Agentic Toolkit releases page](https://github.com/matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit/releases).
+2. Open the downloaded file to install the installer add-on.
