hpc-paraview

hpc-paraview is a skill for Codex from SciMate-AI/HPC-Skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (494 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for using ParaView, a tool that turns scientific data into interactive 3D views, charts, and images. It covers both desktop use and Python or cluster-based processing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or repair visualizations, create screenshots and animations, write pvpython or pvbatch scripts, use saved state files, and process data on remote or parallel systems.
Why use it?
It helps organize data readers, filters, display settings, scripts, saved views, and remote sessions into a repeatable workflow.

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

hpc-paraview 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (assets/templates/paraview-pvbatch-slurm.sh, assets/templates/paraview-pvserver-slurm.sh, assets/templates/pvbatch_slice_extract.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.

What it actually says

HPC ParaView

Treat ParaView as a pipeline-driven post-processing and visualization stack with both GUI and scripted execution paths.

Start

  1. Read references/workflow-manual.md before creating or repairing a ParaView workflow.
  2. Read references/readers-filters-and-pipeline.md when mapping datasets to readers, filters, and pipeline objects.
  3. Read references/color-maps-layout-and-views.md when tuning representations, coloring, views, screenshots, or layout behavior.
  4. Read references/pvpython-pvbatch-and-traces.md when choosing between GUI tracing, pvpython, and pvbatch.
  5. Read references/state-files-animation-and-extracts.md when using .pvsm, Python state, screenshots, or saved data products.
  6. Read references/remote-and-parallel-visualization.md when the workflow needs pvserver, reverse connections, SSH tunnels, or distributed rendering.
  7. Read references/cluster-execution-playbook.md when staging a ParaView workflow for scheduler-backed cluster post-processing.
  8. Read references/error-recovery.md when readers, filters, scripts, state files, or remote connections fail.

Reusable Templates

Use assets/templates/ when a concrete starting scaffold is needed, especially:

  • pvpython_screenshot.py
  • pvbatch_slice_extract.py
  • paraview-pvbatch-slurm.sh
  • paraview-pvserver-slurm.sh

Guardrails

  • Do not guess reader or filter semantics from file extensions alone when metadata is available.
  • Do not use pvbatch and remote Connect() logic in the same script.
  • Do not save brittle state files with absolute data paths unless that is intentional.
  • Do not run heavy rendering or batch extraction on login nodes.

Outputs

Summarize:

  • input datasets and readers
  • key filters and representations
  • chosen execution path such as GUI, pvpython, pvbatch, or pvserver
  • expected screenshots, extracts, animations, or saved data products
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.

hpc-paraview is a skill published in the GitHub repository SciMate-AI/HPC-Skills (86 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 494 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
