Pint Compute
Unit-aware computation with Pint — convert, calculate, and verify dimensional analysis
What You Can Do
Convert between any unit system (metric, imperial, SI), perform arithmetic that respects dimensional constraints, and validate that physical equations are dimensionally correct. For example, you can verify that force (kg⋅m/s²) equals mass times acceleration, convert 100 km/h to mph, or calculate that velocity multiplied by time yields distance.
Features
translate between metric, imperial, SI, and specialized units (atmospheres, calories, ohms, etc.)
validate that equations are dimensionally consistent before computation
multiply, divide, add, and subtract quantities while preserving dimensional correctness
reduce complex units (kg⋅m/s²) to standard named units (newtons)
extract magnitude, unit, and dimensionality from human-readable quantities
express any quantity in fundamental SI units for comparison and analysis
seamlessly work with imperial, metric, and domain-specific unit systems
Example Output
Example 1: Unit Conversion
Input: Convert 5 meters to feet
Output: 5 meter = 16.4042 foot
Example 2: Unit-Aware Arithmetic
Input: Calculate 10 m/s * 5 s
Output: 10 meter / second * 5 second = 50 meter
Example 3: Dimensional Verification
Input: Check if newton is equivalent to kg * m / s²
Output: ✓ Dimensional match confirmed. 1 newton = 1 kilogram * meter / second²

Who It's For
- Physics and engineering students — verify homework and dimensional consistency before solving problems
- Civil and mechanical engineers — convert specifications, calculate compound quantities with units
- Data scientists — standardize measurements across datasets with different unit systems
- Chemistry and materials scientists — manage molar quantities, concentrations, and reaction stoichiometry

Best For
- Converting between unit systems during design and calculation workflows
- Validating that equations are dimensionally sound before numerical computation
- Performing multi-step calculations where unit consistency is critical (kinematics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics)
- Parsing and standardizing measurements from mixed sources (legacy data, international suppliers)
- Simplifying and interpreting compound units in technical documentation and specifications

When a user uploads a file to Claude, you can intelligently detect its type and read it using the appropriate method. Instead of blindly running cat on binary files or loading massive CSVs into context, this skill routes each file type to the right tool, reading only what's needed to answer the user's question. You'll extract text from PDFs, parse structured data from CSVs and JSON, process images, and decompress archives—all without wasting context or producing garbage output.

You can systematically analyze construction estimates by breaking down components, validating labor and material pricing against market data, identifying embedded errors or outdated assumptions, and applying data-driven contingency allocation. Claude helps you produce risk-adjusted cost projections that are defensible to stakeholders and competitive in bid scenarios, reducing estimate variance and catching pricing gaps before client submission.

This skill maps construction claims as interdependent probability states rather than isolated analyses, allowing you to evaluate how changes in one contractual interpretation cascade through damages calculations, delay causation, and liability allocation. You can simultaneously model competing scenarios—concurrent causation, ambiguous change order triggers, insurance coverage dependencies—and identify which settlement positions minimize exposure across all correlated outcomes, not just single interpretations.

You'll follow the strict TDD workflow: write a failing test that defines expected behavior, verify it fails, write minimal production code to pass the test, then refactor for quality. This approach ensures complete test coverage, catches bugs early, and produces well-designed code backed by comprehensive test suites. Claude guides you through each phase with examples and enforces TDD principles to prevent shortcuts.

You can perform end-to-end PDF operations including extracting text and metadata from documents, merging multiple PDFs into a single file, splitting PDFs by page ranges, filling fillable forms programmatically, and adding text overlays to non-fillable PDFs. This skill handles both simple read operations and complex document workflows, making it essential for document processing, form automation, and PDF batch operations.

You can rapidly process multiple subcontractor bid responses—from trade contractors, material suppliers, and specialty vendors—into a cohesive, auditable estimate structure. Claude extracts key bid components, identifies pricing inconsistencies against benchmarks or prior projects, flags scope gaps and exclusions, and organizes everything by CSI division for seamless estimate assembly. This eliminates manual spreadsheet comparison and reduces the risk of overlooked scope omissions or pricing anomalies when managing 15+ concurrent bids.

You can deploy this agent to execute specific implementation tasks within a larger development plan. It operates independently with fresh context, follows test-driven development principles for every code change, and creates comprehensive handoff documentation that captures progress, decisions, and learnings for the next task executor. This ensures consistent code quality, prevents rework, and maintains continuity across distributed implementation efforts.

Query your local Screenpipe instance to retrieve screen recordings, audio transcriptions, UI element accessibility trees, keyboard/mouse input logs, and productivity analytics. You can search by keywords, filter by content type (audio, OCR, accessibility, input), set time ranges, and extract structured data about your applications, meetings, and work sessions without sending data to external servers.
