What it does

Signal Analysis is an agent skill from VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill. The signal-analysis skill guides agents through ObsPy waveform filtering, trigger/STA-LTA detection, correlation, spectral quality control, response correction or simulation, array processing, and stateful real-time analysis with explicit sampling assumptions.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md`, `references/processing-recipes.md` and `references/troubleshooting.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A Skill Library for Automated Machine Learning.

Example prompts

  • “/signal-analysis”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prepare: copy, inspect timing and gaps, merge only with an intentional
  2. Filter/QC: use Trace.filter/Stream.filter for labeled waveforms;
  3. Detect: band-limit as justified, convert STA/LTA durations to samples,
  4. Correlate: align IDs, sample rates, units, and preprocessing between
  5. Spectral/response: use PPSD only with a stable ID/sample rate and
  6. Array/real time: array_processing requires equal sample rates and

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac3fe1a. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Signal Analysis loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 618 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.9k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 618 words (~1,387 tokens).

“Use this skill after a Trace/Stream is available and the task is waveform processing, detection, correlation, spectral QC, response handling, array beamforming, or packet-by-packet processing. Keep raw data intact with .copy() before any in-place operation. This skill does not acquire…”

How do I install Signal Analysis in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill --skill signal-analysis -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/repositories/repo-skills/obspy/sub-skills/signal-analysis in VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill) into .claude/skills/signal-analysis in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Signal Analysis in Codex?

Run `npx skills add VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill --skill signal-analysis -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/repositories/repo-skills/obspy/sub-skills/signal-analysis in VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill) into .agents/skills/signal-analysis in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Signal Analysis in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill --skill signal-analysis -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/signal-analysis, .gemini/skills/signal-analysis, .github/skills/signal-analysis and .opencode/skills/signal-analysis in your project.

What does Signal Analysis need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Signal Analysis needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Signal Analysis access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Signal Analysis safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Signal Analysis use?

Signal Analysis has a licence file (declared in SKILL.md) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Signal Analysis use?

About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4.5k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Signal Analysis?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Signal Analysis: Signals (PostHog/posthog, 40k stars), Agent Signal Pipeline (lobehub/lobehub, 83k stars), Write Guide (vercel/next.js, 143k stars) and Design Guide (paperclipai/paperclip, 99k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Signal Analysis?

VectorSpaceLab (a GitHub organization) maintains it in VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill, which has 331 GitHub stars. The repository holds 157 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on September 3, 2026.
