dqmc: Skill for Claude Code

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

dqmc-dev is a skill for Claude Code from edwnh/dqmc. It costs 39 tokens per session (522 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A development workflow for modifying DQMC, a scientific simulation program written partly in C. It covers adding measurements, analyzing results, building the code, and running smoke tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for adding observables, updating analysis code, compiling DQMC, and running small validation simulations.
Why use it?
It gives developers a consistent path for changing the simulation and checking that the change still works.

This is edwnh/dqmc's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dqmc 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 dqmc 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 B, and why

dqmc-dev scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

What it actually says

Code Development

Build & Test

# Build
make               # -> build/dqmc
make clean         # remove build/

# Test
cd test && make && ./test_greens

Smoke Test

After any code change:

dqmc-util gen Nx=4 Ny=4 U=4 dt=0.1 L=20 n_sweep_warm=50 n_sweep_meas=100
build/dqmc sim_0.h5
dqmc-util summary sim_0.h5

Adding New Measurements

  1. Add to X-macro list in src/rc/sim_types.h:

    // Add to MEAS_EQLT_LIST (or MEAS_UNEQLT_LIST for unequal-time)
    #define MEAS_EQLT_LIST \
        /* ... */ \
        X(my_meas, num_ij)  // pick an appropriate size expression
    
  2. Implement measurement kernel in src/rc/meas.c

  3. Add analysis function in dqmc_util/analyze_hub.py (and update reshaping/symmetrization if needed):

    @observable(
        description="my new observable",
        requires=("meas_eqlt/n_sample", "meas_eqlt/sign", "meas_eqlt/my_meas"),
    )
    def _my_meas(ctx):
        return core.jackknife_noniid(
            ctx.data["meas_eqlt/n_sample"],
            ctx.data["meas_eqlt/sign"],
            ctx.data["meas_eqlt/my_meas"],
        )
    

Key Code Patterns

Dual compilation: Files in src/rc/ compile twice. Use RC(name) macro for real/complex dispatch.

Memory: Use my_calloc() for 64-byte aligned allocations.

Profiling: Wrap with profile_begin(name) / profile_end(name).

Definition of Done

  • make succeeds without warnings
  • cd test && make && ./test_greens passes
  • Smoke run completes
  • If touching measurements: verify via dqmc-util summary
Changes

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-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository edwnh/dqmc (19 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 522 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (strips warnings and disclaimers). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
