Classical Mechanics

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Classical Mechanics skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Classical Mechanics is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.

Classical mechanics from kinematics through rotational dynamics and oscillations. Covers 1D/2D/3D motion, Newton's three laws, free-body diagrams, friction, projectile motion, circular motion, rotational mechanics, gravitation and orbits, work-energy theorem, conservation of momentum, collisions, and simple harmonic motion. Use when analyzing forces, trajectories, orbital mechanics, or any problem where objects move under deterministic forces at non-relativistic speeds.

About this skill (catalog notes)

Classical Mechanics includes explicit scope boundaries (an explicit 'when not to use' or 'out of scope' section). At roughly 3,021 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.

These notes are auto-generated from features detected in the SKILL.md file and from this catalog's structure — they aren't part of the source repository.

From the source SKILL.md

Classical mechanics is the branch of physics that describes the motion of macroscopic objects under the action of forces. Founded by Newton in the Principia (1687) and refined through the analytical frameworks of Lagrange, Hamilton, and others, it remains the foundation for engineering, orbital mechanics, and everyday physical reasoning. This skill covers kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotation, gravitation, and oscillations with worked examples and strategy guidance.

What this skill does

Classical Mechanics is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/classical-mechanics/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when analyzing forces, trajectories, orbital mechanics, or any problem where objects move under deterministic forces at non-relativistic speeds.

Who uses this skill

The Classical Mechanics Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 119,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Classical Mechanics Claude Code skill?

Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/classical-mechanics/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.

What does the Classical Mechanics skill do?

Is this skill free to install?

Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.

When should I use the Classical Mechanics skill?

Use Classical Mechanics when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the general misc area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Classical Mechanics" or describe the task and let Claude pick).
