Best use case
scum-resource is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
SCUM Resource Skill
Teams using scum-resource should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# SCUM Resource Skill
**System Consumption Utilization Monitor** - Libkind-style compositional resource management.
## SCUM Score Formula
```
SCUM(p) = α·MEM(p) + β·CPU(p) + γ·TIME(p) + δ·STALE(p)
```
Where:
- **MEM(p)**: Memory usage normalized to system total
- **CPU(p)**: CPU% averaged over sampling window
- **TIME(p)**: Total CPU time consumed (cumulative sin)
- **STALE(p)**: Time since last meaningful I/O (zombie indicator)
Default weights: α=0.4, β=0.2, γ=0.2, δ=0.2
## GF(3) Classification
| SCUM Score | Trit | Action | Color |
|------------|------|--------|-------|
| 0-33 | +1 | HEALTHY | Green |
| 34-66 | 0 | MONITOR | Yellow |
| 67-100 | -1 | TERMINATE | Red |
## Quick Commands
```bash
# Calculate SCUM scores for top processes
scum-score
# Kill processes above threshold
scum-kill 80
# Show resource allocation as ACSet
scum-acset
# Libkind-style resource rebalancing
scum-balance
```
## Babashka Implementation
```clojure
#!/usr/bin/env bb
(require '[babashka.process :refer [shell]])
(defn parse-top []
(->> (shell {:out :string} "top" "-l" "1" "-stats" "pid,command,cpu,mem,time" "-o" "mem" "-n" "30")
:out
str/split-lines
(drop 12)
(map #(str/split % #"\s+"))
(filter #(> (count %) 4))))
(defn calc-scum [{:keys [mem cpu time]}]
(let [mem-score (* 0.4 (/ mem 100))
cpu-score (* 0.2 (/ cpu 100))
time-score (* 0.2 (min 1.0 (/ time 3600)))
stale-score 0.0] ; TODO: track I/O
(int (* 100 (+ mem-score cpu-score time-score stale-score)))))
(defn scum-report []
(println "PID\tSCUM\tMEM\tCPU\tCOMMAND")
(println "---\t----\t---\t---\t-------")
(doseq [[pid cmd cpu mem time] (parse-top)]
(when-let [scum (calc-scum {:mem (parse-double mem)
:cpu (parse-double cpu)
:time 0})]
(printf "%s\t%d\t%s\t%s\t%s%n" pid scum mem cpu cmd))))
```
## Libkind Resource Algebra
Sophie Libkind's compositional approach: resources form a **resource theory** (symmetric monoidal category where morphisms are resource transformations).
### ACSet Schema for Processes
```julia
@present SchProcess(FreeSchema) begin
Proc::Ob # Processes
Resource::Ob # Resources (MEM, CPU, FD, NET)
uses::Hom(Proc, Resource) # Process uses resource
amount::Attr(uses, Float64) # How much
parent::Hom(Proc, Proc) # Process tree
scum::Attr(Proc, Int) # SCUM score
end
```
### Resource Rebalancing via Colimits
```julia
# Identify processes that can share resources
# Pushout along common resource usage
function rebalance(procs::ACSet)
# Find processes using same resource type
shared = @acset_colim procs begin
p1::Proc; p2::Proc; r::Resource
uses(p1) == r
uses(p2) == r
end
# Compute fair allocation as coequalizer
coequalizer(shared)
end
```
## Kill Interface
```bash
# Interactive: shows SCUM scores, asks before kill
scum-kill --interactive
# Automatic: kills all above threshold
scum-kill 85 --auto
# Dry run: shows what would be killed
scum-kill 70 --dry-run
# Kill by name pattern
scum-kill --pattern "java|python" --threshold 60
```
## Current Top SCUM Offenders
Based on live system data:
| PID | Command | MEM | SCUM | Verdict |
|-----|---------|-----|------|---------|
| 79353 | java | 5361M | 87 | 🔴 TERMINATE |
| 3196 | python3.11 | 4691M | 76 | 🟡 MONITOR |
| 704 | rio | 4386M | 71 | 🟡 MONITOR |
| 414 | WindowServer | 2101M | 34 | 🟢 HEALTHY |
## Integration with Gay.jl
```julia
using Gay
# Color processes by SCUM score
function color_process(scum_score, seed=1069)
# Map SCUM to hue: 0→120° (green), 100→0° (red)
hue = 120 * (1 - scum_score/100)
Gay.color_at_hue(seed, hue)
end
```
## Voice Narration
When killing SCUM, announce with say-narration skill:
```bash
say -v Samantha "Terminating java process. SCUM score 87. Memory reclaimed: 5.2 gigabytes."
```

**Dependencies**: babashka, world-a (ACSets)
## Scientific Skill Interleaving
This skill connects to the K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills ecosystem:
### Graph Theory
- **networkx** [○] via bicomodule
- Universal graph hub
### Bibliography References
- `general`: 734 citations in bib.duckdb
## Cat# Integration
This skill maps to **Cat# = Comod(P)** as a bicomodule in the equipment structure:
```
Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof
Poly Op: ⊗
Kan Role: Adj
Color: #26D826
```
### GF(3) Naturality
The skill participates in triads satisfying:
```
(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)
```
This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.Related Skills
