SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

xlim enables precise unit-aware mathematical calculations using a compact domain-specific language, reducing manual unit-tracking errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unit-aware computation: evaluate expressions with units across scalars and arrays.
  • Extensible via CLI: execute calculations from the command line with a simple syntax.
  • Education and engineering workflows: suitable for simulations and quick checks in engineering analyses.

Quick Start

Run the xlim CLI with a simple expression such as 2 {kg} * 9.81 {m/s^2} to observe the resulting unit.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform unit-aware mathematical calculations from the command line?

Unit-aware mathematical calculations from the command line use a compact domain-specific language to evaluate expressions with units across scalars and arrays, reducing manual unit-tracking errors in engineering and scientific workflows.

What is a compact DSL for computing with units?

A compact DSL for computing with units is a domain-specific language that applies consistent unit handling across definitions and expressions, allowing users to evaluate physical calculations without manual unit conversion.

Can I evaluate unit-aware expressions across arrays for engineering simulations?

Yes, unit-aware expressions can be evaluated across arrays for engineering simulations, providing consistent unit handling and reducing manual tracking errors during quick checks and analyses.

Do I need any external dependencies to run unit-aware CLI calculations?

No external dependencies are required to run unit-aware CLI calculations, as the skill operates independently using a root SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter and optional scripts or references for extended functionality.

What is the best way to track units in engineering and scientific workflows?

The best way to track units in engineering and scientific workflows is using a compact DSL that automatically handles unit consistency across mathematical expressions, scalars, and arrays.

Why does manual unit tracking fail in complex engineering calculations?

Manual unit tracking fails in complex engineering calculations due to human error in conversion and consistency, which a unit-aware compact DSL eliminates by automatically evaluating expressions with attached units.
