harmonica

harmonica is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills. It costs 110 tokens per session (1,894 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python tool for processing gravity and magnetic measurements used to study what lies beneath the ground. It can calculate expected signals from simple underground shapes and prepare measurement data for mapping.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to model gravity or magnetic effects from points, rectangular blocks, spherical regions, and layers; apply terrain or Bouguer corrections; grid scattered measurements; and continue fields upward or downward.
Why use it?
It provides standard calculations for correcting, modelling, gridding, and transforming geophysical measurements instead of implementing them from scratch.

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

harmonica 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 1mo ago.

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

Harmonica - Gravity and Magnetics

Quick Reference

import harmonica as hm
import numpy as np

# Forward model - prism gravity
prism = [-500, 500, -500, 500, -2000, -500]  # (west, east, south, north, bottom, top)
gravity = hm.prism_gravity(coordinates, prism, density=500, field='g_z')

# Terrain correction
layer = hm.prism_layer((easting, northing), surface=topo, reference=0,
                        properties={'density': 2670})
terrain_effect = layer.gravity(coordinates, field='g_z')

# Equivalent source gridding
eqs = hm.EquivalentSources(depth=10000, damping=10)
eqs.fit(coordinates, gravity_data)
grid = eqs.grid(spacing=5000, data_names=['gravity'])

# Upward continuation (requires gridded xarray)
upward = hm.upward_continuation(gravity_grid, height_displacement=1000)

Key Functions

Function Purpose
point_gravity Gravity from point masses
prism_gravity Gravity from rectangular prisms
tesseroid_gravity Gravity from spherical prisms (regional/global)
prism_magnetic Magnetic anomaly from prisms
prism_layer Create layer of prisms from topography
EquivalentSources Grid scattered data with equivalent sources
upward_continuation FFT-based upward continuation
bouguer_correction Simple Bouguer plate correction

Essential Operations

Forward Model - Rectangular Prism

# Define prism: (west, east, south, north, bottom, top) in meters
prism = [-500, 500, -500, 500, -2000, -500]
density = 500  # kg/m3 density contrast

# Observation grid
x_obs, y_obs = np.meshgrid(np.linspace(-5000, 5000, 100), np.linspace(-5000, 5000, 100))
z_obs = np.zeros_like(x_obs)

# Calculate gravity (mGal). Fields: 'g_z', 'g_north', 'g_east', 'potential'
gravity = hm.prism_gravity((x_obs.ravel(), y_obs.ravel(), z_obs.ravel()),
                           prism, density, field='g_z')

Terrain Correction

import xarray as xr

topo = xr.open_dataarray('dem.nc')
layer = hm.prism_layer((topo.easting.values, topo.northing.values),
                       surface=topo.values, reference=0,
                       properties={'density': 2670})
terrain_effect = layer.gravity((obs_easting, obs_northing, obs_height), field='g_z')
bouguer_anomaly = free_air_anomaly - terrain_effect

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.

harmonica is a skill published in the GitHub repository SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills (73 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 1,894 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
