Why should I run this before data analysis?

It helps determine if your dataset fits in memory or requires 'out-of-core' libraries like Dask or Zarr based on current system constraints.

How do I use the output of the resource detection?

The skill creates a .claude_resources.json file that can be read by your scripts to automatically set worker counts, device backends, or data loading strategies.

Does it support Apple Silicon Macs?

Yes, it provides full support for M1 through M4 chips, detecting Metal support and unified memory for optimized processing.

What dependencies are required to use this skill?

The detection script requires the 'psutil' Python package, while the rest of the functionality relies on the Python standard library.

What hardware can this skill detect?

It identifies CPU cores and architecture, RAM availability, disk space, and specific GPUs including NVIDIA CUDA, AMD ROCm, and Apple Silicon Metal.

Acerca de

The Scientific Resource Detector is a specialized skill designed to profile your computational environment before beginning heavy data science or machine learning workloads. It automatically identifies CPU cores, GPU backends (including NVIDIA, AMD, and Apple Silicon), memory availability, and disk space to generate a strategic JSON report. This report helps Claude and the user decide on the most efficient processing architecture, such as choosing between parallelization with Dask, GPU acceleration with PyTorch, or memory-efficient out-of-core computing.
