ras-commander: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/precip_analyze_aorc/SKILL.md

precip_analyze_aorc is a skill for Claude Code from gpt-cmdr/ras-commander. It costs 160 tokens per session (3,190 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for retrieving and preparing AORC rainfall data for HEC-RAS and HEC-HMS models. AORC is a gridded historical precipitation dataset, while these models simulate water flow and flooding.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze historical rainfall, create Atlas 14 design storms, support model calibration, and export data to DSS or CSV files.
Why use it?
It removes much of the work of collecting rainfall data, averaging it over a watershed, matching it to model time steps, and preparing design storms.

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

precip_analyze_aorc 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 12d 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.

Analyzing AORC Precipitation

Purpose: Navigate precipitation workflows for HEC-RAS/HMS models using AORC historical data and Atlas 14 design storms.

This skill is a NAVIGATOR -- read the primary sources below for complete workflows and API documentation. Do not duplicate implementation details here.

Primary Sources (Read These First!)

1. Canonical Precipitation Contract

ras_commander/precip/AGENTS.md - canonical local contract

Contains:

  • Method selection for AORC, Atlas 14, HRRR, and gridded-met workflows
  • Critical precipitation rules
  • Validation expectations
  • Reference notebooks for working examples

Use source docstrings for method signatures and parameter details.

2. AORC Demonstration Notebook

Live working example showing:

  • AORC data retrieval from cloud storage
  • Spatial averaging over watersheds
  • Temporal aggregation to HEC-RAS intervals
  • Export to DSS and CSV formats
  • Integration with HEC-RAS unsteady flow files

3. Atlas 14 Single-Project Workflow

examples/720_atlas14_aep_events.ipynb

Complete design storm workflow:

  • Query Atlas 14 precipitation frequency values
  • Generate SCS Type II temporal distributions
  • Apply areal reduction factors
  • Create HEC-RAS plans for multiple AEP events
  • Batch execution and results processing

4. Atlas 14 Multi-Project Batch Processing

  • Process multiple HEC-RAS projects simultaneously
  • Standardized AEP suite (10%, 2%, 1%, 0.2%)
  • Automated plan creation across projects
  • Parallel execution with result consolidation

Quick Start

AORC Historical Data (30 seconds)

from ras_commander.precip import PrecipAorc

# Retrieve hourly AORC data for watershed
aorc_data = PrecipAorc.retrieve_aorc_data(
    watershed="02070010",  # HUC-8 code or shapefile path
    start_date="2015-05-01",
    end_date="2015-05-15"
)

# Spatial average over watershed
avg_precip = PrecipAorc.spatial_average(aorc_data, watershed)

# Aggregate to HEC-RAS interval
hourly = PrecipAorc.aggregate_to_interval(avg_precip, interval="1HR")

# Export to DSS for HEC-RAS
PrecipAorc.export_to_dss(
    hourly,
    dss_file="precipitation.dss",
    pathname="/PROJECT/PRECIP/AORC//1HOUR/OBS/"
)

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.

precip_analyze_aorc is a skill published in the GitHub repository gpt-cmdr/ras-commander (79 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 160 tokens to every session and 3,190 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-08-30.
