ontology-explorer

ontology-explorer is a skill for Claude Code from HeshamFS/materials-simulation-skills. It costs 151 tokens per session (3,889 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for exploring materials-science ontologies, which are formal maps of concepts and their relationships. It can browse classes, inspect properties and their allowed types, search terms, and summarize OWL/XML files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query CMSO or ASMO structures, investigate terms such as materials and crystal lattices, and parse OWL files from a path or URL.
Why use it?
It avoids repeatedly reading large ontology files when you only need a class, property, hierarchy, or relationship.

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

ontology-explorer 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/class_browser.py, scripts/ontology_summarizer.py, scripts/owl_parser.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.

Ontology Explorer

Goal

Enable an agent to understand, navigate, and query the structure of materials science ontologies without loading verbose OWL/XML files directly. Provides fast access to class hierarchies, property definitions, and domain-range relationships through pre-processed JSON summaries.

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • No external dependencies (Python standard library only)
  • Internet access required only for owl_parser.py and ontology_summarizer.py when fetching remote OWL files

Inputs to Gather

Input Description Example
Ontology name Registered ontology to query cmso
Class name A specific class to inspect Material, UnitCell
Property name A specific property to look up hasMaterial, hasSpaceGroupNumber
Search term Keyword to search across labels crystal, lattice
OWL source Path or URL to an OWL/XML file (for parsing/summarizing) https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCDO/cmso/main/cmso.owl

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.

ontology-explorer is a skill published in the GitHub repository HeshamFS/materials-simulation-skills (66 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 151 tokens to every session and 3,889 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.
