| description | Top-level CFD research entry — alias for cfd-skills/cfd-pipeline (general path). Use when the user gives a CFD research topic and wants the full literature → hypothesis → mesh-gate → experiments → analysis → paper flow. The full self-contained recipe lives in cfd-skills/cfd-pipeline/SKILL.md. |

cfd-research (alias)
This skill is a thin alias for cfd-skills/cfd-pipeline/SKILL.md. The full self-contained, ARIS/DS-style end-to-end recipe (literature, hypothesis, requirements, mesh-gate, experiments, interpret, analyze, paper) — including all expert prompts embedded verbatim — is documented there.
Why an alias?
- Historically,
skills/ housed the router + research/code-mod/mesh-independence skills. cfd-skills/ was added later as the per-stage recipe layer.
- After the Nov 2026 ARIS/DS-style refactor, the full recipes live under
cfd-skills/. This file remains so existing routing in CLAUDE.md and external agent configurations keep working.
Use this skill if you came here via:
- The
CLAUDE.md "study/sensitivity/turbulence/backward step/channel/experiment/run" routing line.
- An external agent config that was set up before the refactor.
Do this
- Open
cfd-skills/cfd-pipeline/SKILL.md and follow the general path chain (Steps 1–13).
- For each sub-stage, follow the corresponding
cfd-skills/cfd-<stage>/SKILL.md (each is fully self-contained with its expert prompts embedded).
Behavioral contracts preserved here
- Mandatory mesh-independence gate before any experiment sweep — see
cfd-skills/cfd-mesh-gate/SKILL.md.
- Foam-Agent runtime for case execution — see
skills/cfd-foamagent-runtime/SKILL.md (still the canonical Foam-Agent execution contract).
- CFL-aware retry policy for slow/failing runs — see
cfd-skills/cfd-experiment/SKILL.md.
- Long-run policy (multi-hour OK; no premature timeout) — applies everywhere.
- Expert prompts from
prompts/prompts.yaml are embedded verbatim in every relevant cfd-skills/cfd-<stage>/SKILL.md. The YAML remains the authoritative source.
Migration note
If you have agent code that previously invoked /cfd-research, replace it with /cfd-pipeline for new work; both work identically today, but new development happens under cfd-skills/.
