seismic-picker-selection

seismic-picker-selection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xuansenpa1/skillrevise. It costs 52 tokens per session (846 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of seismic-picker-selection, MIT.

A guide for choosing methods that detect earthquakes and identify the arrival times of their seismic waves, based on trade-offs such as speed, sensitivity, and false detections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare STA/LTA, manual picking, deep learning, and template matching when selecting an earthquake detection or phase-picking approach.
Why use it?
Different methods work better for different monitoring needs: some are fast but produce more false alarms, while others find smaller events but require more effort or data.

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

seismic-picker-selection 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 10d 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.

Seismic Event Detection & Phase Picking Method Selection Guide

Overview: Method Tradeoffs

When choosing an event detection and phase picking method, consider these key tradeoffs:

Method Generalizability Sensitivity Speed, Ease-of-Use False Positives
STA/LTA High Low Fast, Easy Many
Manual High High Slow, Difficult Few
Deep Learning High High Fast, Easy Medium
Template Matching Low High Slow, Difficult Few
  • Generalizability: Ability to find arbitrary earthquake signals
  • Sensitivity: Ability to find small earthquakes

Key insight: Each method has strengths and weaknesses. Purpose and resources should guide your choice.

STA/LTA (Short-Term Average / Long-Term Average)

Advantages

  • Runs very fast: Automatically operates in real-time
  • Easy to understand & implement: Can optimize for different window lengths and ratios
  • No prior knowledge needed: Does not require information about earthquake sources or waveforms
  • Amplitude-based detector: Reliably detects large earthquake signals

Limitations

  • High rate of false detections during active sequences
  • Automatic picks not as precise
  • Requires manual review and refinement of picks for a quality catalog

Template Matching

Advantages

  • Optimally sensitive detector (more sensitive than deep-learning): Can find smallest earthquakes buried in noise, if similar enough to template waveform
  • Excellent for improving temporal resolution of earthquake sequences
  • False detections are not as concerning when using high detection threshold

Limitations

  • Requires prior knowledge about earthquake sources: Need template waveforms with good picks from a preexisting catalog
  • Does not improve spatial resolution: Unknown earthquake sources that are not similar enough to templates cannot be found
  • Setup effort required: Must extract template waveforms and configure processing
  • Computationally intensive

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.
