Help Claude quickly determine what resources, tools, packages, and databases are available in the current environment. This skill eliminates guesswork and enables Claude to:
This diagnostic tool should be run at the beginning of engineering sessions to establish environmental context.
The tool generates a structured report with:

User: "Design a centrifugal pump for water transport"
Claude runs resource-lister.py and sees:
- numpy, scipy, matplotlib: Available
- fluids, thermo: Not available
- CoolProp: Not available
Claude Response:
"I can design the pump using numpy and scipy for calculations.
However, I recommend installing 'fluids' package for more
accurate hydraulic calculations:
pip install fluids
For now, I'll use scipy for fluid properties with manual
property definitions."
User: "Set up an OpenFOAM simulation for pipe flow"
Claude runs resource-lister.py and sees:
- OpenFOAM: Not installed
- ParaView: Available
Claude Response:
"OpenFOAM is not currently installed. I can:
1. Provide installation instructions for OpenFOAM
2. Create case files that will work once installed
3. Use ParaView for post-processing once simulation runs
Would you like me to proceed with case setup or help
with OpenFOAM installation?"
User: "Analyze pump performance data from database"
Claude runs resource-lister.py and sees:
- PostgreSQL: Connected and running
- pandas: Not installed
- numpy, scipy: Available
Claude Response:
"I can query your PostgreSQL database and perform analysis.
For better data handling, I recommend:
pip install pandas
For now, I'll use numpy arrays to process the query results."
Add custom checks by modifying resource-lister.py:
