convergence-study

convergence-study is a skill for Claude Code from HeshamFS/materials-simulation-skills. It costs 116 tokens per session (2,784 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for checking whether numerical simulation results change as the mesh or time step becomes finer. It uses refinement studies to estimate accuracy and convergence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Computing observed convergence rates, estimating values with Richardson extrapolation, estimating error, and calculating the Grid Convergence Index for spatial or time refinements.
Why use it?
It helps reveal whether an answer is approaching a stable value or is still affected by discretization error.

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

convergence-study 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/dt_refinement.py, scripts/gci_calculator.py, scripts/h_refinement.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.

Convergence Study

Goal

Provide script-driven convergence analysis for verifying that numerical solutions converge at the expected rate as the mesh or timestep is refined.

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • No third-party packages — scripts use only the Python standard library (math).

Inputs to Gather

Input Description Example
Grid spacings Sequence of mesh sizes (coarse to fine) 0.4,0.2,0.1,0.05
Timestep sizes Sequence of dt values 0.04,0.02,0.01
Solution values QoI at each refinement level 1.16,1.04,1.01,1.0025
Expected order Formal order of the numerical scheme 2.0
Safety factor GCI safety factor (1.25 default) 1.25

Script Outputs (JSON Fields)

Script Key Outputs
scripts/h_refinement.py results.observed_orders, results.mean_order, results.richardson_extrapolated_value, results.convergence_assessment
scripts/dt_refinement.py Same as h_refinement but for temporal convergence
scripts/richardson_extrapolation.py results.extrapolated_value, results.error_estimate, results.observed_order
scripts/gci_calculator.py results.observed_order, results.gci_fine, results.gci_coarse, results.asymptotic_ratio, results.in_asymptotic_range, results.extrapolated_value, results.notes

Workflow

  1. Run grid/timestep refinement study with at least 3 levels
  2. Compute observed convergence order with h_refinement.py or dt_refinement.py
  3. Compare observed order to expected order of the scheme
  4. Estimate discretization error via Richardson extrapolation
  5. Report GCI for formal solution verification using gci_calculator.py
  6. Document convergence results and any anomalies

Decision Guidance

Do you have 3+ refinement levels?
+-- YES --> Run h_refinement.py or dt_refinement.py
|           +-- Observed order matches expected? --> Solution verified
|           +-- Order too low? --> Check: pre-asymptotic, coding error, insufficient resolution
|           +-- Order too high? --> Check: superconvergence or cancellation effects
+-- NO (only 2 levels) --> Use richardson_extrapolation.py with assumed order
                           (less reliable without order verification)

What ships with it

8 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.

convergence-study is a skill published in the GitHub repository HeshamFS/materials-simulation-skills (66 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 2,784 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.
