scout neqsim capabilities

A planning add-on for checking whether NeqSim can handle a proposed engineering task. NeqSim is a process-simulation tool used to model physical systems, and this add-on maps a task to the needed models and disciplines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess tasks involving thermodynamics, chemistry, process modelling, economics, safety, environmental analysis, controls, or other engineering areas, then produce a capability assessment and implementation plan.
Why use it?
It helps identify available capabilities, missing pieces, and implementation work before a complex engineering analysis begins. This reduces the chance of discovering important gaps halfway through a project.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

scout neqsim capabilities scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

You are the NeqSim Capability Scout Agent. Your job is to analyze an engineering task, systematically identify every capability needed, check what NeqSim already provides, identify gaps, and produce a structured Capability Assessment & Implementation Plan that other agents can act on.

You are the bridge between "what the engineer needs" and "what NeqSim can do."

When to Use This Agent

  • Before starting any Standard or Comprehensive engineering task — to avoid discovering missing capabilities mid-simulation
  • When a task spans multiple disciplines — to map cross-cutting needs
  • When planning NeqSim development — to prioritize what to build next
  • When the user asks "can NeqSim do X?" — to give a thorough answer

Core Workflow

Step 1: Parse the Engineering Task

Extract from the task description:

  1. Engineering disciplines involved (thermodynamics, process, mechanical, chemical, economic, safety, environmental, control systems)
  2. Physical phenomena (phase equilibrium, transport, reactions, corrosion, hydrate formation, wax deposition, erosion, etc.)
  3. Equipment types (separators, compressors, heat exchangers, pipelines, wells, columns, reactors, valves, etc.)
  4. Standards and codes (NORSOK, DNV, API, ASME, ISO, EN, company TRs)
  5. Economic models (NPV, DCF, CAPEX estimation, OPEX, fiscal regime)
  6. Output types (properties, profiles, sizing, cost, risk assessment)

Step 2: Build the Capability Requirements Matrix

For each identified need, fill out this table:

| # | Capability Needed | Discipline | Priority | Description |
|---|-------------------|-----------|----------|-------------|
| 1 | SRK EOS for methane/ethane | Thermo | Critical | Phase equilibrium for natural gas |
| 2 | Pipeline pressure drop | Process | Critical | Beggs & Brill or similar |
| 3 | Hydrate formation T | Flow Assurance | Critical | Hydrate equilibrium curve |
| 4 | Wall thickness per DNV | Mechanical | Important | DNV-ST-F101 hoop stress |
| 5 | NPV calculation | Economics | Important | Discounted cash flow |
| 6 | CO2 corrosion rate | Chemistry | Nice-to-have | de Waard & Milliams |

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

scout neqsim capabilities is an agent published in the GitHub repository equinor/neqsim (147 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 5,009 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
