mps

mps is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from unitarylab/quantum-practices. It costs 63 tokens per session (5,581 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide to preparing quantum states—a set of possible values for quantum bits—using a Matrix Product State, a compact representation of some quantum states. It covers decomposition, reducing representation size, and validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for converting states to Matrix Product States, limiting their size, completing the required operations, encoding them with work qubits, checking leakage, and validating the result.
Why use it?
It helps prepare states more cheaply when their quantum bits have limited interconnectedness, while checking that the result is correct despite irrelevant overall phase.

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

mps 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/algorithm.py, scripts/mps_implementation.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 ships with it

2 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.

mps is a skill published in the GitHub repository unitarylab/quantum-practices (18 stars, last pushed 20d ago), with no licence file. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 5,581 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.
