Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Surface Analysis Skill ## Purpose The Surface Analysis skill provides comprehensive capabilities for characterizing material surfaces, enabling detailed analysis of surface composition, chemical bonding states, topography, and interfacial properties critical for understanding surface-sensitive phenomena. ## Capabilities - XPS depth profiling and chemical state analysis - AFM imaging and roughness quantification - Contact angle measurement and surface energy calculation - Profilometry data analysis - Surface contamination identification - Tribological surface analysis - Coating thickness measurement - Adhesion mechanism analysis ## Usage Guidelines ### X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) 1. **Survey Spectra** - Acquire wide scan (0-1200 eV) for elemental identification - Identify all elements present above detection limit (~0.1 at%) - Note adventitious carbon for charge referencing 2. **High-Resolution Spectra** - Acquire narrow scans for elements of interest - Use appropriate pass energy (20-50 eV typical) - Ensure sufficient signal-to-noise for peak fitting 3. **Peak Fitting** - Apply Shirley or linear background - Constrain FWHM and peak shape within physical limits - Assign

What does the surface-analysis skill do?
Skill for surface composition, chemical state, and topography analysis including XPS depth profiling, AFM imaging, and contact angle measurements
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill surface-analysis --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.
