How do I install the Simskill skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add autonomous-ai/simskill in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Simskill safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Simskill?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Simskill free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

City lab

Read studio.json to understand the current controls; "$STUDIO_TOOLCHAIN/../studio.config.json" describes their ranges. Run "$STUDIO_TOOLCHAIN/run.sh" simulate to make a new result. Successful artifacts and their measurements are in out/runs/<id>/; out/latest.json names the current result. A failed run preserves the last success and records the error in the verdict.

The local workflow generates an original four-way intersection with SUMO netconvert and simulates actual traffic with SUMO. Playback uses its floating-car output. A comparison is a simulation experiment, not a calibrated forecast for a real city. Intel Macs build pinned SUMO 1.27.1 headlessly with package-local Xerces.

Use "$STUDIO_TOOLCHAIN/../README.md" for the integration contract and commands. Read the relevant files under $STUDIO_UPSTREAM before using an upstream API. Keep controls within their documented ranges, preserve the data needed to reproduce a comparison, and distinguish preview results from native service or hardware output. The viewer supports history and artifact downloads; tell the user which run contains the result, and what was actually measured.

Compare a signal plan

Record the baseline, then change east–west green time while holding demand, duration, and seed fixed. Inspect trips.csv, the generated network, and raw traffic.xml. Compare mean delay for completed trips together with the unfinished count and largest stopped queue. Do not drop unfinished vehicles when describing congestion.

For custom networks, read $STUDIO_UPSTREAM/.claude/skills/procedural-memory/ in this order: create-single-intersection/SKILL.md, run-simulation/SKILL.md, and analyze-simulation-outputs/SKILL.md. Those pinned procedures explain the native SUMO commands and raw outputs. The starter is an original intersection, not a calibrated city.
