gamma-phase-associator

gamma-phase-associator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from benchflow-ai/skillsbench. It costs 70 tokens per session (2,684 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to GaMMA, a Python library that groups seismic P- and S-wave picks into earthquake events. It uses those picks together with station locations to estimate an event’s location, origin time, and magnitude.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after phase picking to associate picks with events and estimate each event’s time, position, and magnitude.
Why use it?
It helps turn separate arrival-time picks from monitoring stations into likely earthquake events and their source information.

About the project

SkillsBench is a benchmark for measuring how effectively AI agents use modular skills—folders containing instructions, scripts, and resources—to complete specialized tasks. It helps researchers and developers evaluate both skill quality and agent behavior, including tasks that require combining multiple skills. The catalogue’s skills and instructions are evaluated as part of this workflow.

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

gamma-phase-associator 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.

GaMMA Associator Library

What is GaMMA?

GaMMA is an earthquake phase association algorithm that treats association as an unsupervised clustering problem. It uses multivariate Gaussian distribution to model the collection of phase picks of an event, and uses Expectation-Maximization to carry out pick assignment and estimate source parameters i.e., earthquake location, origin time, and magnitude.

GaMMA is a python library implementing the algorithm. For the input earthquake traces, this library assumes P/S wave picks have already been extracted. We provide documentation of its core API.

Function Signature
def association(picks, stations, config, event_idx0=0, method="BGMM", **kwargs)
Purpose

Associates seismic phase picks (P and S waves) to earthquake events using Bayesian or standard Gaussian Mixture Models. It clusters picks based on arrival time and amplitude information, then fits GMMs to estimate earthquake locations, times, and magnitudes.

1. Input Parameters
Parameter Type Default Description
picks DataFrame required Seismic phase pick data
stations DataFrame required Station metadata with locations
config dict required Configuration parameters
event_idx0 int 0 Starting event index for numbering
method str "BGMM" "BGMM" (Bayesian) or "GMM" (standard)
2. Required DataFrame Columns
picks DataFrame
Column Type Description Example
id str Station identifier (must match stations) network.station. or network.station.location.channel
timestamp datetime/str Pick arrival time (ISO format or datetime) "2019-07-04T22:00:06.084"
type str Phase type: "p" or "s" (lowercase) "p"
prob float Pick probability/weight (0-1) 0.94
amp float Amplitude in m/s (required if use_amplitude=True) 0.000017

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.
