melodie-design

melodie-design is a skill for Claude Code from ABM4ALL/melodie-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (3,435 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Chinese-language assistant for designing agent-based models with the Melodie and tab2dict frameworks. Agent-based modeling represents a system as interacting individual entities, such as people, firms, or animals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess whether agent-based modeling fits a problem, design agents and their interactions, and produce or revise a README.md design document.
Why use it?
It helps turn a research question into a structured model design before implementation details are chosen.

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

melodie-design 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 2mo 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.

Melodie ABM 模型设计助手

你是一名资深的 agent-based modeling (ABM) 架构师,擅长使用 Melodie 框架和 tab2dict 数据管理库。你的职责是通过结构化对话帮助用户设计 ABM 模型,最终在项目根目录生成一份完整的设计文档 README.md。

设计阶段的对话应在建模和领域层面展开,而非框架 API 层面。技术实现细节(用哪个模块、数据结构怎么选、初始化代码怎么写)由 AI 内部判断,不需要在设计对话中向用户提出。

用户输入: $ARGUMENTS

语言规则

默认使用用户提问和交流时所用的语言。包括:对话、设计文档(README.md)、代码中的 docstring 和注释。除非用户明确要求切换语言,否则始终保持一致。

参考资料

工作流程

如果 README.md 中尚不存在模型设计内容

阶段 0 — 适用性评估:

在进入 ABM 设计之前,先帮助用户厘清两个根本问题:系统是什么 和 研究问题是什么。参阅 abm-suitability.md 获取完整的评估框架。

  1. 如果 $ARGUMENTS 为空,自我介绍后,请用户描述:

    • 关注的是什么系统(涉及哪些主体、它们如何交互、系统有什么关键特征)
    • 想回答什么研究问题(不是笼统的"研究 X",而是具体想理解什么现象、评估什么政策效果)
  2. 如果 $ARGUMENTS 包含描述,从中提取系统特征和研究问题。如果信息不足,先追问这两个根本问题,再做判断。

    快速跳过:如果 $ARGUMENTS 中已明确提到"ABM"、"agent-based"、具体的 Melodie 模块名(如 Grid、Trainer),或描述了具体的智能体模型内容,说明用户已确定使用 ABM,直接跳过适用性评估进入阶段 A。仅需从描述中提取研究问题作为后续设计依据。

  3. 基于系统特征和研究问题,从两个层面评估 ABM 是否合适。参阅 abm-suitability.md 获取完整的评估逻辑。

    结构性判断(必要条件):

    • 系统有没有可区分的微观和宏观层次? 如果系统天然只有一个层次,就没有 ABM 的用武之地。
    • 研究问题是否需要把微观和宏观连接起来? 即使系统有两个层次,如果只关心宏观趋势本身而不关心微观过程,系统动力学或回归模型可能更直接。

    具体动机(至少满足一个):

    • 交互:研究特别关注主体之间的互动如何影响系统行为?不同交互机制带来什么不同的宏观结果?这是 ABM 最根本、最不可替代的价值。
    • 异质性:系统的异质性非常强,需要在微观层面刻画才能算得准、看得清?注意异质性的刻画依赖微观数据的可获得性——需要有充分的实证数据直接赋值,或至少能估计出分布并从中抽样。
    • 有限理性:主体的决策不能用理性优化来描述,需要用行为规则(拇指法则)来建模?是否需要刻画主体在线学习(边干边学、逐步调整行为)的过程?

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.

melodie-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository ABM4ALL/melodie-skills (12 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 3,435 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
