mechanical-engineering-research

mechanical-engineering-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skill. It costs 122 tokens per session (2,066 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of guidelines for research and engineering work involving areas such as heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, HVAC, piping, and CFD. CFD means using computers to simulate how fluids and heat behave.

In plain words
What is it for?
Structuring mechanical-engineering research, simulations, experiments, technical writing, teaching, and code while keeping measurements, reported results, assumptions, and derived conclusions distinct.
Why use it?
It encourages clearly defined assumptions, units, evidence sources, uncertainties, and validity limits before analysis or implementation.

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

mechanical-engineering-research 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/audit_data_manifest.py, scripts/audit_latex_project.py, scripts/audit_style_calibration.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Mechanical Engineering Research

Skill Suite

Use this skill as the cross-cutting coordinator when a request spans multiple research activities. For a focused deliverable, use the specialist skill that owns it:

  • thermal-fluid-analysis: thermal-fluid physics, experiments, CFD, correlations, uncertainty, scaling, and design tradeoffs.
  • research-writing-literature: literature synthesis, citations, introductions, manuscript sections, and figure-led discussion.
  • research-proposal-development: solicitation-aligned proposals, review criteria, preliminary results, milestones, risks, and proposal figures.
  • research-data-analysis: baseline cases, hypothesis-driven DOE, reproducible analysis, plots, CFD/experimental data, and ML evaluation.
  • research-slide-design: research talks, posters, visual logic, speaker notes, and presentation QA.
  • research-schematic-design: publication-quality editable facility, mechanism, workflow, and graphical-abstract schematics.
  • research-mentor-review: constructive student-facing feedback with prioritized, actionable next steps.
  • reviewer-author-loop: iterative reviewer critique, author revision, verification, and re-review.

The coordinator retains the evidence and integrity gates below. Do not load all specialist skills by default; select the smallest combination that fits the actual deliverable.

Core Workflow

  1. Define the engineering decision or research question.
    • Identify the system, geometry, materials or fluid, operating regime, boundary and initial conditions, outputs, constraints, and intended user.
    • Ask only for missing information that materially changes scientific validity or the work path. Otherwise state bounded assumptions and proceed.

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.

mechanical-engineering-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skill (16 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 122 tokens to every session and 2,066 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
