numerical-integration

numerical-integration is a skill for Claude Code from HeshamFS/materials-simulation-skills. It costs 142 tokens per session (3,329 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for choosing methods that advance the solution of time-dependent ordinary or partial differential equations. It covers explicit and implicit methods, error tolerances, and adaptive time steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing Runge-Kutta, BDF, Rosenbrock, or Adams methods; setting relative and absolute tolerances; and planning adaptive or mixed explicit-implicit time integration.
Why use it?
It helps select a suitable solver when a simulation is stiff, requires high accuracy, or has changing time-step needs.

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

numerical-integration 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/adaptive_step_controller.py, scripts/error_norm.py, scripts/imex_split_planner.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.

Numerical Integration

Goal

Provide a reliable workflow to select integrators, set tolerances, and manage adaptive time stepping for time-dependent simulations.

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • NumPy (for some scripts)
  • No heavy dependencies for core functionality

Inputs to Gather

Input Description Example
Problem type ODE/PDE, stiff/non-stiff stiff PDE
Jacobian available Can compute ∂f/∂u? yes
Target accuracy Desired error level 1e-6
Constraints Memory, implicit allowed? implicit OK
Time scale Characteristic time 1e-3 s

Decision Guidance

Choosing an Integrator

Is the problem stiff?
├── YES → Is Jacobian available?
│   ├── YES → Use Rosenbrock or BDF
│   └── NO → Use BDF with numerical Jacobian
└── NO → Is high accuracy needed?
    ├── YES → Use RK45 or DOP853
    └── NO → Use RK4 or Adams-Bashforth

Stiff vs Non-Stiff Detection

Symptom Likely Stiff Action
dt shrinks to tiny values Yes Switch to implicit
Eigenvalues span many decades Yes Use BDF/Radau
Smooth solution, reasonable dt No Stay explicit

Script Outputs (JSON Fields)

Script Key Outputs
scripts/error_norm.py error_norm, scale_min, scale_max
scripts/adaptive_step_controller.py accept, dt_next, factor
scripts/integrator_selector.py recommended, alternatives, notes
scripts/imex_split_planner.py implicit_terms, explicit_terms, splitting_strategy
scripts/splitting_error_estimator.py error_estimate, substeps

Workflow

  1. Classify stiffness - Check eigenvalue spread or use stiffness_detector
  2. Choose tolerances - See references/tolerance_guidelines.md
  3. Select integrator - Run scripts/integrator_selector.py
  4. Compute error norms - Use scripts/error_norm.py for step acceptance
  5. Adapt step size - Use scripts/adaptive_step_controller.py
  6. Plan IMEX/splitting - If mixed stiff/nonstiff, use scripts/imex_split_planner.py
  7. Validate convergence - Repeat with tighter tolerances

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.

numerical-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository HeshamFS/materials-simulation-skills (66 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 142 tokens to every session and 3,329 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
