Track physical units and propagate measurement uncertainty in scientific calculations using pint and uncertainties. Use for unit conversion and dimensional checking, GUM uncertainty budgets, Type A and Type B evaluation, coverage factors and expanded uncertainty, Monte Carlo propagation, significant-figure and plus-minus reporting, error propagation through curve fits, CODATA constants, auditing Python code for stripped units or broken uncertainty propagation, and order-of-magnitude plausibility checks using dimensionless groups (Reynolds, Peclet, Damkohler, Knudsen, Biot, Womersley), characteristic scales such as diffusion time or Debye length, and observed magnitude ranges. Trigger on "is this number physically reasonable", "sanity check these units", "what regime is this flow in", or a result that looks off by orders of magnitude.
Uncertainty And Units includes 16 code blocks for direct copy-paste. At roughly 2,376 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.
Uncertainty And Units sits in the Growth & Marketing category under the conversion sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.

What this skill does
Uncertainty And Units is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the conversion sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/uncertainty-and-units/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Uncertainty And Units Claude Code skill is built for growth marketers, product-led growth teams, founders running experiments, and performance marketing teams. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 191,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/uncertainty-and-units/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.

When should I use the Uncertainty And Units skill?
Use Uncertainty And Units when your Claude Code task falls under the Growth & Marketing category — specifically in the conversion 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 Uncertainty And Units" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/growth/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Uncertainty And Units 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. Uncertainty And Units is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Growth & Marketing category.
