validate-cave
Test speleothem earthquake detection against modern earthquake catalogs. Use when validating methodology, checking if cave detects known earthquakes, building validation matrix. Triggers on "validate cave", "test detection", "modern earthquake validation", "blind test".

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# /validate-cave - Modern Earthquake Validation Skill ## Purpose Systematically test if a speleothem cave record detects known modern earthquakes. This validates the paleoseismic methodology and builds the 50+ validation matrix. ## Usage ``` /validate-cave <cave_name_or_entity_id> [--start YEAR] [--end YEAR] [--radius KM] ``` **Examples:** ``` /validate-cave CRC-3 # Crystal Cave (California) /validate-cave YOKI --start 1970 --end 2010 /validate-cave "Lapa Grande" --radius 50 /validate-cave Ko-1 # Kocain (Turkey) ``` ## Workflow ### Step 1: Identify Cave & Get Coordinates 1. **Search SISAL** using `sisal_search_caves` MCP tool 2. **Get cave metadata**: entity_id, coordinates, site name 3. **Determine data coverage**: earliest/latest sample dates ``` # Example MCP call sisal_search_caves region="California" min_samples=50 ``` ### Step 2: Search for Modern Earthquakes Use `earthquake_search` MCP tool to find earthquakes near cave: ``` # Default: M≥5.0, 100 km radius, 1900-2025 earthquake_search lat=36.59 lon=-118.82 min_magnitude=5.0 radius_km=100 ``` **Filter results**: - Keep only earthquakes within cave data timespan - Note earthquakes outside timespan (for documentation) ### Step

What does the validate-cave skill do?
Test speleothem earthquake detection against modern earthquake catalogs. Use when validating methodology, checking if cave detects known earthquakes, building validation matrix. Triggers on "validate cave", "test detection", "modern earthquake validation", "blind test".
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill validate-cave --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
