Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Earth Pressure Calculator Skill ## Purpose The Earth Pressure Calculator Skill determines lateral earth pressures on retaining structures using Rankine, Coulomb, and seismic methods for design of retaining walls and basement walls. ## Capabilities - Active earth pressure (Rankine, Coulomb) - Passive earth pressure - At-rest earth pressure - Surcharge effects - Layered soil conditions - Seismic earth pressure (Mononobe-Okabe) - Sloping backfill effects - Water pressure considerations ## Usage Guidelines ### When to Use - Designing retaining walls - Analyzing basement walls - Evaluating excavation support - Assessing seismic pressures ### Prerequisites - Soil parameters available - Wall geometry defined - Surcharge loads identified - Groundwater level known ### Best Practices - Select appropriate theory - Consider wall movement - Include seismic where required - Account for drainage ## Process Integration This skill integrates with: - Retaining Wall Design - Foundation Design ## Configuration ```yaml earth-pressure-calculator: theories: - rankine - coulomb - log-spiral pressure-states: - active - passive - at-rest seismic: - mononobe-okabe - wood ``` ## Output Artifacts - Pressure

What does the earth-pressure-calculator skill do?
Earth pressure calculation skill for retaining structures using classical and seismic methods
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill earth-pressure-calculator --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
