What it does

Hmt Modify is an agent skill from psu-efd/pyHMT2D. Modify Manning's n roughness coefficients, inlet flow rates, or exit water surface elevations for the currently open pyHMT2D project and save the changes. Use this when the user wants to change model parameters.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 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: Python Hydraulic Modeling Tools - 2D. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to change model parameters

Example prompts

  • “/hmt-modify”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Show current materials and boundary conditions so the user knows what is available.
  2. Ask the user what to change. They may specify
  3. Apply Manning's n changes (if any).
  4. Apply inlet flow changes (if any, SRH-2D only).
  5. Apply exit WSE changes (if any, SRH-2D only).
  6. Save the modified input files.
  7. Confirm all changes with a summary table: Parameter | Old value | New value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 57645ff. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Hmt Modify loads about 470 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 192 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~470

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.

description
Modify Manning's n roughness coefficients, inlet flow rates, or exit water surface elevations for the currently open pyHMT2D project and save the changes. Use this when the user wants to change model parameters.

Modify Manning's n roughness, inlet flow, or exit water surface elevation for the open project.

Prerequisites

A project must be open. If not, run /hmt-open first.

Steps

  1. Show current materials and boundary conditions so the user knows what is available. Run sequentially — do NOT run in parallel (each call opens a HEC-RAS instance):

    bash
    hmt-cli get_materials
    bash
    hmt-cli get_boundary_conditions

    Present both as Markdown tables.

  2. Ask the user what to change. They may specify:

    • Manning's n values by material name or ID and new value
    • Inlet flow by BC ID and new value (SRH-2D only)
    • Exit WSE by BC ID and new value (SRH-2D only)
  3. Apply Manning's n changes (if any). Map material names to IDs from the materials table shown in step 1.

    bash
    hmt-cli set_manning_n --args '{"material_ids": [...], "values": [...], "material_names": [...]}'

    Report the old and new values for each material.

  4. Apply inlet flow changes (if any, SRH-2D only).

    bash
    hmt-cli set_inlet_flow --args '{"bc_ids": [...], "values": [...]}'

    Note: skip this step for HEC-RAS models.

  5. Apply exit WSE changes (if any, SRH-2D only).

    bash
    hmt-cli set_exit_wse --args '{"bc_ids": [...], "values": [...]}'
  6. Save the modified input files.

    bash
    hmt-cli save_modified_inputs

    Report the file path where changes were written.

  7. Confirm all changes with a summary table: Parameter | Old value | New value. Suggest running /hmt-run to execute the simulation with the new parameters.
