solver-benchmark
Run N-way diffraction solver benchmarks comparing AQWA, OrcaWave, and BEMRosetta results
Best use case
solver-benchmark is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Run N-way diffraction solver benchmarks comparing AQWA, OrcaWave, and BEMRosetta results
Teams using solver-benchmark 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.

# Solver Benchmark
## When to Use This Skill
Use solver benchmarking when:
- **Validating solver setups** - Confirm all solvers produce consistent results
- **Cross-validating results** - Compare different solver outputs for the same hull
- **Identifying solver quirks** - Find solver-specific behaviors or numerical differences
- **Quality assurance** - Verify analysis methodology across tools
- **Reporting** - Generate comparison reports for documentation
## Quick Start
```bash
# Run 3-way benchmark on Unit Box (validation case)
uv run python scripts/benchmark/run_3way_benchmark.py \
specs/modules/benchmark/unit_box_spec.yml
# Dry run (generate files, skip solver execution)
uv run python scripts/benchmark/run_3way_benchmark.py \
specs/modules/benchmark/unit_box_spec.yml --dry-run
# Run specific solvers only
uv run python scripts/benchmark/run_3way_benchmark.py \
spec.yml --solvers orcawave,aqwa
# Custom output directory
uv run python scripts/benchmark/run_3way_benchmark.py \
spec.yml -o results/my_benchmark
```
