compute-env-setup

compute-env-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JimLiu/science-skills. It costs 134 tokens per session (4,189 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A setup guide for preparing remote computers so Claude Science jobs can run on them. It covers SSH and conda hosts, Slurm clusters, containers connected through a bridge, and providers such as Modal, Google Cloud, and RunPod.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up a new remote provider, port an environment to a different backend, or add a tool that needs its own compute environment.
Why use it?
It helps when a job needs computing resources outside your local machine or when an existing environment must be moved to another provider.

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

compute-env-setup 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 9d 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.

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.
