Does this skill support Apple Silicon hardware?

Yes, it specifically detects M1/M2/M3/M4 chips and recommends Metal-specific backends (MPS) for libraries like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX.

How does it help with large datasets?

It compares available RAM to your dataset size and recommends out-of-core strategies like Dask, Zarr, or H5py if memory is constrained.

Where is the resource information stored?

The skill generates a '.claude_resources.json' file in your current working directory, which can be read programmatically by your other scripts.

Are there any external dependencies required?

The detection script requires the 'psutil' Python library, which can be installed via 'uv pip install psutil' or standard pip.

Data Science & ML

Detects and analyzes system hardware to provide optimized strategic recommendations for scientific computing and data processing tasks.

This skill proactively identifies available CPU cores, GPU hardware (NVIDIA, AMD, Apple Silicon), memory, and disk space to inform high-level architectural decisions for computationally intensive work. By generating a structured JSON report with strategic recommendations, it helps developers and data scientists choose the most efficient approach—such as parallel processing with Dask, out-of-core computing, or specific GPU acceleration backends—before initiating resource-heavy model training or data analysis.
