astropy

astropy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (2,727 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of astropy, Apache-2.0.

A Python library for astronomy and astrophysics, including sky coordinates, physical units, FITS files, cosmology, precise time systems, tables, and astronomical images. FITS is a standard file format used for scientific astronomical data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to transform celestial coordinates, convert units, read or write FITS files, calculate cosmological values, handle astronomical times, work with catalog tables, and map image pixels to sky positions.
Why use it?
It provides common astronomy data structures and calculations in one library, reducing the need to implement coordinate conversions, unit handling, or scientific file processing yourself.

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

astropy 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 13d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

84% identical to astropy — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Astropy

Overview

Astropy is the core Python package for astronomy, providing essential functionality for astronomical research and data analysis. Use astropy for coordinate transformations, unit and quantity calculations, FITS file operations, cosmological calculations, precise time handling, tabular data manipulation, and astronomical image processing.

When to Use This Skill

Use astropy when tasks involve:

  • Converting between celestial coordinate systems (ICRS, Galactic, FK5, AltAz, etc.)
  • Working with physical units and quantities (converting Jy to mJy, parsecs to km, etc.)
  • Reading, writing, or manipulating FITS files (images or tables)
  • Cosmological calculations (luminosity distance, lookback time, Hubble parameter)
  • Precise time handling with different time scales (UTC, TAI, TT, TDB) and formats (JD, MJD, ISO)
  • Table operations (reading catalogs, cross-matching, filtering, joining)
  • WCS transformations between pixel and world coordinates
  • Astronomical constants and calculations

Quick Start

import astropy.units as u
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
from astropy.time import Time
from astropy.io import fits
from astropy.table import Table
from astropy.cosmology import Planck18

# Units and quantities
distance = 100 * u.pc
distance_km = distance.to(u.km)

# Coordinates
coord = SkyCoord(ra=10.5*u.degree, dec=41.2*u.degree, frame='icrs')
coord_galactic = coord.galactic

# Time
t = Time('2023-01-15 12:30:00')
jd = t.jd  # Julian Date

# FITS files
data = fits.getdata('image.fits')
header = fits.getheader('image.fits')

# Tables
table = Table.read('catalog.fits')

# Cosmology
d_L = Planck18.luminosity_distance(z=1.0)

Core Capabilities

1. Units and Quantities (astropy.units)

Handle physical quantities with units, perform unit conversions, and ensure dimensional consistency in calculations.

Key operations:

  • Create quantities by multiplying values with units
  • Convert between units using .to() method
  • Perform arithmetic with automatic unit handling
  • Use equivalencies for domain-specific conversions (spectral, doppler, parallax)
  • Work with logarithmic units (magnitudes, decibels)

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
