geoscience-skills: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

geoscience-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills. It costs 1,643 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a geoscience skills library that helps coding assistants work with Python tools for seismic data, well logs, geological models, geophysics, and related fields. They describe the library's domains, folders, and skill-file structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or maintaining geoscience skills, locating the right domain folder, or understanding how the repository's Python-library-based modules are structured.
Why use it?
They give contributors a map of a large, specialized repository so new skills are placed and documented consistently. They also explain the project's overall purpose and organization.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on geoscience-skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything geoscience-skills configures →

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

geoscience-skills CLAUDE.md 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 8d 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.

Project Overview

Geoscience Skills Library - A comprehensive open-source library of 30 geoscience skills for AI coding assistants. Each skill provides expert-level guidance for Python geoscience libraries, covering seismic processing, well log analysis, geological modelling, geophysical inversion, geostatistics, and more.

Mission: Enable AI coding agents to assist geoscientists with domain-specific Python workflows, from data loading to interpretation and visualization.

Repository Architecture

Directory Structure (30 Skills Across 17 Domains)

Skills are organized by Python library name in a flat directory structure:

  • Seismic & Seismology: obspy/, segyio/, disba/
  • Well Log Analysis: lasio/, welly/, dlisio/, striplog/, petropy/
  • 3D Geological Modelling: gempy/, loopstructural/, gemgis/
  • Geophysical Inversion: simpeg/, devito/, pylops/, pygimli/
  • Potential Fields: harmonica/
  • Rock Physics: bruges/
  • Geostatistics & Spatial: verde/, geostatspy/, scikit-gstat/, gnnwr/
  • Hydrology: pastas/
  • Surface Processes: landlab/
  • Structural Geology: mplstereonet/
  • Geochemistry: pyrolite/
  • Near-Surface Geophysics: gprpy/, mtpy/
  • Data Formats: xarray/
  • Visualization: pyvista/
  • Utilities: pooch/

Skill File Structure

Each skill follows a standardized format:

skill-name/
├── SKILL.md              # Main guidance (200-300 lines with YAML frontmatter)
├── references/           # Deep documentation (one level deep)

└── scripts/              # Helper scripts (optional)
    └── example.py        # Utility script

Workflow and Agent Architecture

The library includes additional infrastructure beyond domain skills:

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.
