parameter-optimization

parameter-optimization is a skill for Claude Code from beita6969/ScienceClaw. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,294 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for exploring and tuning the parameters of computer simulations using planned experiments and sensitivity analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports parameter sweeps, design of experiments, Latin Hypercube and Sobol sampling, uncertainty studies, surrogate models, and Bayesian optimization setup.
Why use it?
It helps identify which inputs affect results most and choose parameter values without testing every possible combination.

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

parameter-optimization 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/doe_generator.py, scripts/optimizer_selector.py, scripts/sensitivity_summary.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Parameter Optimization

Goal

Provide a workflow to design experiments, rank parameter influence, and select optimization strategies for materials simulation calibration.

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+
  • No external dependencies (uses Python standard library only)

Inputs to Gather

Before running any scripts, collect from the user:

Input Description Example
Parameter bounds Min/max for each parameter with units kappa: [0.1, 10.0] W/mK
Evaluation budget Max number of simulations allowed 50 runs
Noise level Stochasticity of simulation outputs low, medium, high
Constraints Feasibility rules or forbidden regions kappa + mobility < 5

Decision Guidance

Choosing a DOE Method

Is dimension <= 3 AND full coverage needed?
├── YES → Use factorial
└── NO → Is sensitivity analysis the goal?
    ├── YES → Use quasi-random (preferred; "sobol" is accepted but deprecated)
    └── NO → Use lhs (Latin Hypercube)
Method Best For Avoid When
lhs General exploration, moderate dimensions (3-20) Need exact grid coverage
sobol Sensitivity analysis, uniform coverage Very high dimensions (>20)
factorial Low dimension (<4), need all corners High dimension (exponential growth)

Choosing an Optimizer

Is dimension <= 5 AND budget <= 100?
├── YES → Bayesian Optimization
└── NO → Is dimension <= 20?
    ├── YES → CMA-ES
    └── NO → Random Search with screening
Noise Level Recommendation
Low Gradient-based if derivatives available, else Bayesian Optimization
Medium Bayesian Optimization with noise model
High Evolutionary algorithms or robust Bayesian Optimization

Script Outputs (JSON Fields)

Script Output Fields
scripts/doe_generator.py samples, method, coverage
scripts/optimizer_selector.py recommended, expected_evals, notes
scripts/sensitivity_summary.py ranking, notes
scripts/surrogate_builder.py model_type, metrics, notes

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.

parameter-optimization is a skill published in the GitHub repository beita6969/ScienceClaw (898 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,294 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 2026-09-03.
