  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3

What it does

Linear Solvers is an agent skill from FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills. Select and configure linear solvers for systems Ax=b in dense and sparse problems. Use when choosing direct vs iterative methods, diagnosing convergence issues, estimating conditioning, selecting preconditioners, or debugging stagnation in GMRES/CG/BiCGSTAB.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/convergence_patterns.md`, `references/preconditioner_catalog.md` and `references/scaling_guidelines.md`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: The largest open-source medical AI skills library for OpenClaw🦞.

When your agent uses it

  • Choosing direct vs iterative methods
  • Diagnosing convergence issues
  • Estimating conditioning
  • Selecting preconditioners

Example prompts

  • “/linear-solvers”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Write, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Characterize matrix - symmetry, definiteness, sparsity
  2. Analyze sparsity - Run scripts/sparsity_stats.py
  3. Select solver - Run scripts/solver_selector.py
  4. Choose preconditioner - Run scripts/preconditioner_advisor.py
  5. Apply scaling - If ill-conditioned, use scripts/scaling_equilibration.py
  6. Monitor convergence - Use scripts/convergence_diagnostics.py
  7. Diagnose issues - Check residual history with scripts/residual_norms.py

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b1f9b6e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Write
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 6 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Linear Solvers loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 409 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~10k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Write, Grep, Glob

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 409 words (~1,463 tokens).

“Provide a universal workflow to select a solver, assess conditioning, and diagnose convergence for linear systems arising in numerical simulations.”
