What it does
- Gives a full workflow for process-based discrete-event models on pinned SimPy 4.1.2: purpose/estimands → conceptual model → generators → bounded runs → verification → replications → limitations.
- Documents core semantics precisely: event lifecycle,
env.run(until=...)boundary differences, condition events (AnyOf/AllOf), interrupts, and preemption via thePreemptedcause. - Covers every shared-resource type (Resource, PriorityResource, PreemptiveResource, Container, Store, FilterStore, PriorityStore) and their queue rules.
- Enforces bounded execution (time, entity, event, replication caps) and time-weighted, non-intrusive monitoring.
- Ships safe CLIs: built-in bounded queue scenario, replication runner with Student-t intervals, event trace summarizer, and config validator — no network, no eval of user code.
Who it's for
- Operations researchers and engineers modeling queues, production lines, logistics/inventory, or network traffic.
- Python users who need reproducible simulation runs with defensible confidence intervals.
- Anyone who wants deterministic verification tests instead of ad-hoc simulation scripts.
Examples
- "Simulate a 2-server desk with 4-min mean interarrivals and 6-min service over 480 minutes" → produces a bounded model and reports unfinished entities instead of hiding them.
- "Give me a 95% CI for mean wait over 30 independent replications" → uses
replication_runner.py; single-replication intervals are refused. - "Make a preempted job resume its remaining work" → applies the
Interrupt/Preemptedhandling pattern with correct request cancellation.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills/HEAD/skills/simpy/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/simpy folder from the GitHub repo K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/simpy/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/simpy ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy just this skill:
cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/simpy ~/.claude/skills/ - Set up the pinned environment:
uv venv --python 3.13 && source .venv/bin/activate && uv pip install "simpy==4.1.2" - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "Model an M/M/2 queue in SimPy with a 480-minute horizon".
- Verify the CLIs:
python ~/.claude/skills/simpy/scripts/bounded_queue_scenario.py --help
