dqmc: Skill for Claude Code

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

dqmc-generate is a skill for Claude Code from edwnh/dqmc. It costs 54 tokens per session (750 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A simulation-file generator for determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC), a method for modelling interacting particles. It writes HDF5 input files from lattice, interaction, temperature, and Monte Carlo settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create single simulations or parameter scans with chosen lattice dimensions, interaction strength, chemical potential, temperature settings, sweep counts, and file counts.
Why use it?
It avoids manually assembling simulation parameters and output files, especially for batches of related runs.

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 A, and why

dqmc-generate 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.

Generate Simulation Files

Inputs

Input Required Default Description
Nx, Ny No 8 Lattice dimensions
U No 6.0 On-site interaction strength
mu No 0.0 Chemical potential
tp No 0.0 Next-nearest neighbor hopping
dt No 0.1 Imaginary time step
L No 40 Number of time slices (beta = L*dt)
n_sweep_warm No 200 Warmup sweeps
n_sweep_meas No 2000 Measurement sweeps
Nfiles No 1 Number of independent bins
prefix No sim Output path prefix
period_uneqlt No 0 Unequal-time period (0=disabled)

Outputs

  • {prefix}_0.h5, {prefix}_1.h5, ... - HDF5 simulation files
  • {prefix}.h5.params - common params HDF5 file

Procedure

Option A: CLI (simple cases)

dqmc-util gen Nx=6 Ny=6 U=4.0 mu=0.0 dt=0.1 L=50 Nfiles=4 prefix=data/run/bin

Option B: Python (parameter scans)

from dqmc_util import gen_1band_hub

gen_1band_hub.create_batch(
    prefix="data/run/bin", Nfiles=4,
    Nx=6, Ny=6, U=4.0, mu=0.0, tp=0.0, dt=0.1, L=50
)

Choosing dt and L for a target temperature T:

import numpy as np
T = 0.25  # target temperature
U = 4.0
beta = 1.0 / T
dt = min((0.05/U)**0.5, beta / 10)  # Trotter error constraint
L = int(np.ceil(beta / dt / 5) * 5)  # L must be divisible by n_matmul and period_eqlt (defaults: 5)
dt = beta / L  # recalculate exact dt

Validation

  • Files created: ls {prefix}_*.h5 {prefix}.h5.params
  • Trotter error check: U * dt^2 <= 0.05

Failure Modes

Symptom Cause Recovery
"File exists" error Previous files not cleaned Remove old files or use overwrite=1 argument
ValueError: L must be divisible ... L must be multiple of n_matmul and period_eqlt Adjust value of L and dt, keeping their product (beta) constant

Do Not

  • Overwrite existing simulation files without confirmation
  • Ignore the Trotter error bound (U * dt^2 <= 0.05)

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-generate is a skill published in the GitHub repository edwnh/dqmc (18 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 750 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 2026-09-01.
