Agent skill

hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skill

A modular skill suite for AI-assisted thermal-fluid engineering research, covering analysis, literature, proposals and research artifacts. Its README emphasizes investigator judgment and source verification.

L1Task assistance (workflow level, not a quality rating) Source: Repository-documented Outcome: Not empirically evaluated here

Research applicability

README documents discipline-specific research assistance, including a checkable CFD claim-review example and investigator responsibility.

Getting started

Codex or Claude agent environment; follow project Quickstart and choose a checkable research task. Editorial suggestion: pilot with non-sensitive material.

Maintenance

Source snapshot checked 2026-11-01; ongoing maintenance, installed behavior and current-version parity not generally verified.

License

Consult original licence and data/provider terms; source access is not reuse clearance. No licence/rights audit or installation was performed.

Workflow & human oversight

Scoped L1: For the bounded CFD-claim review example, a person supplies a claim, requests critique, and retains scientific judgment and source checking. This supports task assistance, not autonomous experimentation. Human control/boundary: For the bounded CFD-claim review example, a person supplies a claim, requests critique, and retains scientific judgment and source checking. This supports task assistance, not autonomous experimentation.

Workflow level is not an evidence score; higher is not better evidence.

Approach

README documents discipline-specific research assistance, including a checkable CFD claim-review example and investigator responsibility. Documented steps: Researcher supplies CFD claim → AI identifies assumptions and missing evidence → researcher independently checks critique. No executed experiment is established.

Outcomes (as reported by the originating team)

Author reports or documentation only, not independently reproduced. No independent reproduction was performed here.

Limitations

Documentation-only review; example response is illustrative. Physics, source citations, uncertainty and authorship remain the investigator’s responsibility.

Reproducibility

Primary-source text was read and preserved with provenance hashes. No candidate code, model, benchmark, data upload or claimed outcome was executed/reproduced.

Adoption requirements

Codex or Claude agent environment; follow project Quickstart and choose a checkable research task. Editorial suggestion: pilot with non-sensitive material.
