Good read, Unfortunately does not mention classes, nor packages. +package/@class.

I assume that you are looking for a way to automatically add metadata like author name, version, description, etc., to a .m file.

For that purpose, there are several MATLAB Central code submissions as mentioned below, which you could download and use directly or modify for your exact use-case.

• Generate a new function m-file, with documentation
• Add copyright information to an m-file or group of m-files

I hope this is what you were looking for.

As a (late) follow-up, one may mention the "tedit" contribution by Peter Bodin, that I found both simple and convenient.

Based on this contribution, I later developped a set of tools for easily generate new classes, new scripts, or new unit-test files:

• Matlab Code Templates

Another resource is the Editor Template Package, by Sean de Wolski, but I found it less simple to use.
