What it does
Seismic Picker Selection is an agent skill from benchflow-ai/skillsbench. This is a summary the advantages and disadvantages of earthquake event detection and phase picking methods, shared by leading seismology researchers at the 2025 Earthquake Catalog Workshop. Use it when you have a seismic phase picking task at hand.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: SkillsBench evaluates how well skills work and how effective agents are at using them. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- You have a seismic phase picking task at hand
Example prompts
- “/seismic-picker-selection”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a1f4dd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
ai4eps.github.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Seismic Picker Selection loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 475 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Seismic Event Detection & Phase Picking Method Selection Guide
Overview: Method Tradeoffs
When choosing an event detection and phase picking method, consider these key tradeoffs:
| Method | Generalizability | Sensitivity | Speed, Ease-of-Use | False Positives |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STA/LTA | High | Low | Fast, Easy | Many |
| Manual | High | High | Slow, Difficult | Few |
| Deep Learning | High | High | Fast, Easy | Medium |
| Template Matching | Low | High | Slow, Difficult | Few |
- Generalizability: Ability to find arbitrary earthquake signals
- Sensitivity: Ability to find small earthquakes
Key insight: Each method has strengths and weaknesses. Purpose and resources should guide your choice.
STA/LTA (Short-Term Average / Long-Term Average)
Advantages
- Runs very fast: Automatically operates in real-time
- Easy to understand & implement: Can optimize for different window lengths and ratios
- No prior knowledge needed: Does not require information about earthquake sources or waveforms
- Amplitude-based detector: Reliably detects large earthquake signals
Limitations
- High rate of false detections during active sequences
- Automatic picks not as precise
- Requires manual review and refinement of picks for a quality catalog
Template Matching
Advantages
- Optimally sensitive detector (more sensitive than deep-learning): Can find smallest earthquakes buried in noise, if similar enough to template waveform
- Excellent for improving temporal resolution of earthquake sequences
- False detections are not as concerning when using high detection threshold
Limitations
- Requires prior knowledge about earthquake sources: Need template waveforms with good picks from a preexisting catalog
- Does not improve spatial resolution: Unknown earthquake sources that are not similar enough to templates cannot be found
- Setup effort required: Must extract template waveforms and configure processing
- Computationally intensive
Deep Learning Pickers
When to Use
- Adds most value when existing seismic networks are sparse or nonexistent
- Automatically and rapidly create more complete catalog during active sequences
- Requires continuous seismic data
- Best on broadband stations, but also produces usable picks on accelerometers, nodals, and Raspberry Shakes
- Use case: Temporary deployment of broadband or nodal stations where you want an automatically generated local earthquake catalog
Show full SKILL.md (167 more words)Show less
Advantages
- No prior knowledge needed about earthquake sources or waveforms
- Finds lots of small local earthquakes (lower magnitude of completeness, Mc) with fewer false detections than STA/LTA
- Relatively easy to set up and run: Reasonable runtime with parallel processing. SeisBench provides easy-to-use model APIs and pretrained models.
Limitations
- Out-of-distribution data issues: For datasets not represented in training data, expect larger automated pick errors (0.1-0.5 s) and missed picks
- Cannot pick phases completely buried in noise - Not quite as sensitive as template-matching
- Sometimes misses picks from larger earthquakes that are obvious to humans, for unexplained reason
