dqmc: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/dqmc-analyze/SKILL.md

dqmc-analyze is a skill for Claude Code from edwnh/dqmc. It costs 41 tokens per session (703 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A results-analysis tool for completed determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) simulations, a computer method for studying interacting particles. It calculates physical measurements with averages and standard errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract density, double occupancy, spin and density correlations, structure factors, Green’s functions, and pair susceptibilities from HDF5 simulation files.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually combine simulation data and calculate uncertainty for each measurement.

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

dqmc-analyze 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.

Analyze Results

Inputs

  • Directory containing bin_*.h5 files (completed simulations)
  • Observable names (see table below)

Outputs

  • Dictionary with parameters and (mean, stderr) tuples for each observable

Procedure

Basic analysis:

from dqmc_util import analyze_hub

data = analyze_hub.get("data/run/", "sign", "den", "zzr")

print(f"sign = {data['sign'][0]:.4f} +/- {data['sign'][1]:.4f}")
print(f"density = {data['den'][0]:.4f} +/- {data['den'][1]:.4f}")

Available observables:

Name Description Requires
sign Fermion sign -
den Density -
docc Double occupancy <n_up n_down> -
gr, gk Green's function (real/k-space) -
nnr, nnq Density correlator / structure factor -
zzr, zzq Spin-z correlator / structure factor -
xxr Spin-x correlator -
swq0 S-wave pair structure factor -
nnrw0, zzrw0 Zero-freq susceptibilities period_uneqlt > 0
dwq0t D-wave pair susceptibility period_uneqlt > 0

Collect from multiple directories:

import os

def collect_results(base_dir, observables):
    results = []
    for subdir in sorted(os.listdir(base_dir)):
        path = os.path.join(base_dir, subdir)
        if os.path.isdir(path):
            try:
                results.append(analyze_hub.get(path + "/", *observables))
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Skipping {path}: {e}")
    return results

Compute derived quantities:

# Magnetic moment squared from spin correlator
path = "data/run/"
data = analyze_hub.get(path, "zzr")
mz2 = 4 * data["zzr"][0][0, 0]       # [0] = mean, shape (Ny, Nx)
mz2_err = 4 * data["zzr"][1][0, 0]   # [1] = stderr

Validation

  • Errorbar on sign is significantly less than mean. Otherwise, sign problem is too severe.
  • Errorbars on observable are reasonable (not >> mean)

Failure Modes

Symptom Cause Recovery
KeyError for observable Observable not computed Check period_uneqlt setting
"No files found" Wrong path or no bin_*.h5 Verify directory structure
Large error bars Insufficient statistics Run more sweeps or bins

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.

dqmc-analyze is a skill published in the GitHub repository edwnh/dqmc (19 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 703 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 2026-09-01.
