Climate Science

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Climate Science 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. Climate Science is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category.

Climate physics, forcing, feedback, and attribution. Covers the greenhouse effect and radiative forcing, climate sensitivity, fast and slow feedbacks, the paleoclimate record, detection and attribution science, regional climate impacts, and the distinction between weather, climate variability, and forced climate change. Use when reasoning about global warming mechanisms, interpreting temperature or CO2 records, evaluating attribution claims for extreme events, or distinguishing signal from natural variability.

About this skill (catalog notes)

Climate Science includes explicit scope boundaries (an explicit 'when not to use' or 'out of scope' section). At roughly 1,925 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.

From the source SKILL.md

Climate science is the intersection of atmospheric physics, oceanography, paleoclimatology, and statistics, unified by the question of how Earth's energy budget behaves across scales from weather to billions of years. This skill covers the core machinery: the greenhouse effect, radiative forcing, climate sensitivity, feedbacks, the paleoclimate record, detection and attribution, and regional impacts. The content is grounded in the published IPCC literature and avoids both dismissal and catastrophism.

What this skill does

Climate Science is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the earth-environment sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/climate-science/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when reasoning about global warming mechanisms, interpreting temperature or CO2 records, evaluating attribution claims for extreme events, or distinguishing signal from natural variability.

Who uses this skill

The Climate Science Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 116,000+ 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 Climate Science Claude Code skill?

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

What does the Climate Science 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 Climate Science skill?

Use Climate Science when your Claude Code task falls under the Science & Research category — specifically in the earth environment 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 Climate Science" or describe the task and let Claude pick).
