SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of experiment files for Wolfram Language research projects, streamlining the process of setting up numerical experiments, parameter sweeps, and data generation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates Experiment Files: Creates .wl files with predefined functions for various experiment types (parameter sweeps, data generation, benchmarking).
  • Integrates with Notebooks: Appends experiment sections to existing Wolfram notebooks for easy execution and visualization.
  • Updates Project Documentation: Modifies CLAUDE.md to reflect the newly added experiment code.
  • Use Case: A researcher investigating a new physics model can use this Skill to quickly set up a parameter sweep to explore the model's behavior under different conditions, generating structured data for analysis.

Quick Start

Create an experiment file for the 'QuantumFieldTheory' topic.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create Wolfram Language experiment files for parameter sweeps?

This Skill generates Wolfram Language experiment files with predefined functions for parameter sweeps, numerical experiments, data generation, and benchmarking. It creates `TopicExperiment.wl` files tailored to specified research topics.

How do I generate numerical experiment scaffolding for a Wolfram research project?

You can generate numerical experiment scaffolding by specifying a research topic, which creates a structured `.wl` file with functions for data generation, benchmarks, and parameter sweeps to explore model behavior.

Can I append parameter sweep code to an existing Wolfram notebook?

Yes, you can integrate parameter sweep code into existing Wolfram notebooks. The Skill appends experiment sections to your topic notebooks for easy execution and visualization of the generated data.

Does the generated experiment code update project documentation automatically?

Yes, the generated experiment code updates project documentation automatically. It modifies the `CLAUDE.md` file to reflect the newly added experiment code and definitions integrated into your project.

What is the best way to set up data generation and benchmarks in Wolfram Language?

The best way to set up data generation and benchmarks in Wolfram Language is to scaffold a research project with predefined `.wl` files, which provide structured functions for generating data and running benchmarks under various conditions.

Do I need existing topic notebooks to use the generated Wolfram experiment files?

You do not need existing topic notebooks to use the generated Wolfram experiment files. The Skill scaffolds new research projects by creating standalone `.wl` files, but can also integrate into existing notebooks if available.
