svd-ai-lab/sim-cliSkill
Discover and safely use external ad hoc solver capabilities, third-party skills, plugins, MCP servers, or native APIs when the host app or agent environment does not bundle a first-party solver path. Use for unsupported solver requests such as FDTD, Lumerical, Meep, openEMS, Tidy3D, gprMax, CST Studio Suite, or user-provided external integrations.
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 239 stars are split between them (about 24 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 62/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 4e2a3c07cf05, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
