devito

devito is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills. It costs 119 tokens per session (1,584 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python tool for describing partial differential equations (equations involving rates of change) and generating code to solve them on a grid of points.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to model seismic waves, simulate acoustic or elastic wave propagation, create shot gathers, and set up Full Waveform Inversion, a method for estimating underground properties from recorded waves.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual work of turning wave equations into working finite-difference calculations.

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

devito 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/acoustic_wave.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.

Devito - Symbolic PDE Solver

Quick Reference

from devito import Grid, Function, TimeFunction, Eq, solve, Operator

# Create grid
grid = Grid(shape=(101, 101), extent=(1000., 1000.))

# Velocity model
v = Function(name='v', grid=grid, space_order=4)
v.data[:] = 1500.

# Wavefield
p = TimeFunction(name='p', grid=grid, time_order=2, space_order=4)

# Wave equation: d2p/dt2 = v^2 * laplacian(p)
stencil = Eq(p.forward, solve(p.dt2 - v**2 * p.laplace, p.forward))

# Compile and run
op = Operator([stencil])
op(time_M=100, dt=0.5)

Key Classes

Class Purpose
Grid Computational domain definition
Function Spatial field on grid
TimeFunction Time-dependent field
SparseTimeFunction Point sources/receivers
Operator Compiled computation kernel

Essential Operations

Grid and Fields

from devito import Grid, Function, TimeFunction

# 2D/3D Grid
grid = Grid(shape=(nx, nz), extent=(x_size, z_size))

# Velocity model (spatial field)
v = Function(name='v', grid=grid, space_order=4)
v.data[:] = 1500.

# Wavefield (time-dependent)
p = TimeFunction(name='p', grid=grid, time_order=2, space_order=4)

Source and Receivers

from examples.seismic import RickerSource, Receiver, TimeAxis

time_range = TimeAxis(start=0., stop=1000., step=dt)

# Source
src = RickerSource(name='src', grid=grid, f0=10., npoint=1, time_range=time_range)
src.coordinates.data[0, :] = [500., 20.]

# Receivers
rec = Receiver(name='rec', grid=grid, npoint=101, time_range=time_range)
rec.coordinates.data[:, 0] = np.linspace(0., 1000., 101)
rec.coordinates.data[:, 1] = 20.

Build and Run

# Wave equation
stencil = Eq(p.forward, solve(p.dt2 - v**2 * p.laplace, p.forward))
src_term = src.inject(field=p.forward, expr=src * dt**2 * v**2)
rec_term = rec.interpolate(expr=p)

# Compile and execute
op = Operator([stencil] + src_term + rec_term)
op(time_M=nt-1, dt=dt)

# Results
shot_record = rec.data        # (nt, nrec)
snapshot = p.data[0]          # Current wavefield

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

devito is a skill published in the GitHub repository SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills (56 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 119 tokens to every session and 1,584 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
