What it does

Hmt Status is an agent skill from psu-efd/pyHMT2D. Show the current pyHMT2D session state — which project is open, whether results are loaded, solver configuration, and suggested next steps. Use this when the user asks what is open, what the current state is, or what to do next.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Session handoff. The repository describes itself as: Python Hydraulic Modeling Tools - 2D. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks what is open
  • What the current state is
  • What to do next

Example prompts

  • “/hmt-status”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check for an active session.
  2. Query the live session.
  3. Present a session summary as a formatted report
  4. Suggest next steps based on current state

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 Status loads about 396 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 171 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~396

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
Show the current pyHMT2D session state — which project is open, whether results are loaded, solver configuration, and suggested next steps. Use this when the user asks what is open, what the current state is, or what to do next.

Show the current pyHMT2D session state and suggest next steps.

Steps

  1. Check for an active session. Look for .hmt_session.json in the current directory. If absent: tell the user there is no active session and suggest /hmt-open.

  2. Query the live session.

    bash
    hmt-cli get_simulation_status
  3. Present a session summary as a formatted report:

    • Model type (SRH-2D / HEC-RAS)
    • Project file (show basename only for readability)
    • Results loaded (yes / no)
    • Available result variables (comma-separated list)
    • Number of result time steps
    • Last VTK file exported (basename, or "none")
    • Solver configured (yes if _srh_path or _hecras_version is set, else no)
  4. Suggest next steps based on current state:

    • Project not open → "Run /hmt-open to open a project."
    • Project open, no results → "Run /hmt-run to simulate, or /hmt-results to load existing results."
    • Results loaded, no VTK → "Run /hmt-results to query results or /hmt-export to create VTK files."
    • VTK available → "Run /hmt-results to probe values, or /hmt-calibrate / /hmt-monte-carlo for analysis."
    • To close the HEC-RAS GUI without clearing the session: hmt-cli exit_model
    • To reset everything and start fresh: hmt-cli close_session
