Theory Simulation

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

type:audit

Bridge between theoretical results and Monte Carlo simulation, built to top-stat-journal standards (AoS, JASA, JRSS-B, Biometrika, Bernoulli). Two modes: (1) DESIGN mode — for each theoretical claim, design new simulations that verify rates, coverage, stress-test assumptions, and reveal theory-improvement opportunities; (2) AUDIT mode — when the paper already has simulations, evaluate whether they actually verify the theorems, identify claim-coverage gaps and adequacy flaws, and propose targeted improvements (extend / add / reformat) rather than full redesign. Produces publication-grade figures (no titles, content in caption, color-blind safe) and feeds findings back to refine theory. Use when user says "simulation plan", "Monte Carlo", "验证理论", "审查 simulation", "audit simulation", "模拟实验", "已有 simulation 检查", "stress test theory", "bridge simulation", "rate verification", or wants reproducible stat-journal simulations tied to theorems.

About this skill (catalog notes)

Theory Simulation includes pricing or quota commentary; 30 code blocks for direct copy-paste. At roughly 10,081 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.

What this skill does

Theory Simulation is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the design-creative sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/theory-simulation/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when user says "simulation plan", "Monte Carlo", "验证理论", "审查 simulation", "audit simulation", "模拟实验", "已有 simulation 检查", "stress test theory", "bridge simulation", "rate verification", or wants reproducible stat-journal simulations tied to theorems.

Who uses this skill

The Theory Simulation 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 76,000+ 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 Theory Simulation Claude Code skill?

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

What does the Theory Simulation 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 Theory Simulation skill?

Use Theory Simulation when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the design creative 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 Theory Simulation" or describe the task and let Claude pick).
