Thermodynamics

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Science & Research · Sub-category: physics

Thermodynamics from the zeroth law through statistical mechanics. Covers temperature and thermal equilibrium, heat transfer mechanisms (conduction, convection, radiation), the first law (internal energy, work, heat), PV diagrams, thermodynamic processes (isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric, isochoric), the second law (entropy, Carnot cycle, heat engines, refrigerators), Boltzmann's statistical interpretation (S = k ln W), kinetic theory of gases, the third law, phase transitions, and free energy (Helmholtz and Gibbs). Use when analyzing heat engines, energy transformations, entropy, gas behavior, or any system where temperature and energy flow are central.

What this skill does

Thermodynamics is a production-ready Claude Code skill (quality score 70/100) in the physics sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/thermodynamics/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when analyzing heat engines, energy transformations, entropy, gas behavior, or any system where temperature and energy flow are central.

Who uses this skill

The Thermodynamics skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It is part of the open ClaudSkills registry, a community-curated catalog of 15,000+ capabilities you can install for Claude Code — the Claude CLI agent.

How to install

Free

Manual install (2 steps)

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/thermodynamics
curl -L https://claudskills.com/skills/thermodynamics/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.claude/skills/thermodynamics/SKILL.md

Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/thermodynamics/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.

Skills live at ~/.claude/skills/thermodynamics/SKILL.md on macOS/Linux, or %USERPROFILE%\.claude\skills\thermodynamics\SKILL.md on Windows. See the full install guide for step-by-step instructions.

Pro

One-click install via the desktop app

The ClaudSkills desktop app installs any skill directly into ~/.claude/skills/ with one click — no terminal required. Pro starts at $9/mo or $149 lifetime.
