Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00089 | $0.00887 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00443 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00177 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00089 |
Grade A, and why
hpc-trilinos 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 13d 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.

HPC Trilinos
Treat Trilinos as a package ecosystem. Choose the smallest coherent package set that matches the application's scalar types, maps, and solver needs.
Start
- Read
references/package-selection.mdbefore creating or repairing a Trilinos-based solve path. - Read
references/tpetra-map-and-operator-playbook.mdwhen distributed maps, import or export, or operator consistency is in doubt. - Read
references/linear-solver-and-preconditioner-playbook.mdwhen choosingBelos,Ifpack2,MueLu, orAmesos2. - Read
references/package-enable-matrix.mdwhen choosing the minimum coherent CMake package set for a build. - Read
references/belos-ifpack2-muelu-matrix.mdwhen mapping operator class to iterative, direct, local-preconditioner, or AMG paths. - Read
references/stratimikos-and-parameterlists.mdwhen a host code wraps Trilinos through strategy objects or nestedTeuchos::ParameterListtrees. - Read
references/build-and-explicit-instantiation.mdwhen configuring Trilinos with CMake, choosing package enables, or diagnosing template-instantiation failures. - Read
references/error-recovery.mdwhen build, link, map-consistency, or runtime solver behavior fails.
Work sequence
- Decide the linear algebra family first:
- modern distributed stack ->
Tpetra - legacy code constrained to older interfaces ->
Epetra
- modern distributed stack ->
- Keep maps, scalar types, local ordinals, and global ordinals consistent before tuning solver packages.
- Choose a baseline solve path:
- iterative ->
Belos - local relaxation or overlap preconditioning ->
Ifpack2 - multigrid ->
MueLu - direct solve backend ->
Amesos2
- iterative ->
- Start from the minimal package enable set that can express the workflow.
Guardrails
- Do not mix
TpetraandEpetracasually in one path without an explicit compatibility reason. - Do not blame
BelosorMueLufor failures caused by inconsistent maps or scalar-type mismatches. - Do not enable large swaths of Trilinos packages when only a few are needed.
- Do not ignore explicit-instantiation and template-parameter consistency when diagnosing link errors.

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-trilinos is a skill published in the GitHub repository SciMate-AI/HPC-Skills (86 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 887 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
