pyrolite

pyrolite is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills. It costs 110 tokens per session (1,554 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python toolkit for analysing and plotting the chemical composition of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. It includes charts used to compare and classify rock samples.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create ternary, TAS, rare-earth-element, and spider diagrams, normalize measurements to reference compositions, apply composition-preserving transformations, and calculate the CIPW mineral norm.
Why use it?
It helps make chemical data comparable, especially when measurements are parts of a whole, and presents the results in standard geochemistry diagrams.

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

pyrolite 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.

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

pyrolite - Geochemistry Analysis

Quick Reference

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pyrolite.geochem.norm import get_reference_composition

df = pd.read_csv('samples.csv')
df.pyrochem   # Geochemistry methods
df.pyrocomp   # Compositional methods

# Normalize and plot REE
chondrite = get_reference_composition('Chondrite_McDonough1995')
ax = df.pyrochem.normalize_to(chondrite, units='ppm').pyroplot.REE(unity_line=True)

Key Modules

Module Purpose
pyrolite.plot Ternary, spider diagrams
pyrolite.geochem.norm Normalization references
pyrolite.comp CLR, ALR, ILR transforms
pyrolite.plot.templates TAS, Pearce diagrams
pyrolite.mineral.normative CIPW norm

Essential Operations

Ternary Diagram

ax = df[['SiO2', 'CaO', 'Na2O']].pyroplot.scatter(c='k', s=50)

TAS Diagram

from pyrolite.plot.templates import TAS
df['Na2O_K2O'] = df['Na2O'] + df['K2O']
ax = TAS()
ax.scatter(df['SiO2'], df['Na2O_K2O'], c='red', s=50)

REE Pattern

chondrite = get_reference_composition('Chondrite_McDonough1995')
ax = df.pyrochem.normalize_to(chondrite, units='ppm').pyroplot.REE(unity_line=True)

Trace Element Spider

pm = get_reference_composition('PM_McDonough1995')
ax = df.pyrochem.normalize_to(pm).pyroplot.spider(unity_line=True)

Compositional Transforms

df_closed = df.pyrocomp.renormalise(scale=100)  # Closure
df_clr = df.pyrocomp.CLR()   # Centered log-ratio
df_alr = df.pyrocomp.ALR()   # Additive log-ratio
df_ilr = df.pyrocomp.ILR()   # Isometric log-ratio

Element Ratios and Anomalies

df['La_Yb'] = df['La'] / df['Yb']                        # LREE/HREE
df['Eu_Eu*'] = df['Eu'] / (df['Sm'] * df['Gd']) ** 0.5   # Eu anomaly
lambdas = df.pyrochem.lambda_lnREE()                      # REE shape

CIPW Norm

from pyrolite.mineral.normative import CIPW_norm
norm = CIPW_norm(df)  # df must have major oxides in wt%

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.

pyrolite is a skill published in the GitHub repository SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills (57 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 1,554 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.
