SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

xlim enables precise unit-aware mathematical calculations using a compact domain-specific language, reducing manual unit-tracking errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unit-aware computation: evaluate expressions with units across scalars and arrays.
  • Extensible via CLI: execute calculations from the command line with a simple syntax.
  • Education and engineering workflows: suitable for simulations and quick checks in engineering analyses.

Quick Start

Run the xlim CLI with a simple expression such as 2 {kg} * 9.81 {m/s^2} to observe the resulting unit.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform unit-aware mathematical calculations from the command line?▼

Unit-aware mathematical calculations from the command line use a compact domain-specific language to evaluate expressions with units across scalars and arrays, reducing manual unit-tracking errors in engineering and scientific workflows.

What is a compact DSL for computing with units?▼

A compact DSL for computing with units is a domain-specific language that applies consistent unit handling across definitions and expressions, allowing users to evaluate physical calculations without manual unit conversion.

Can I evaluate unit-aware expressions across arrays for engineering simulations?▼

Yes, unit-aware expressions can be evaluated across arrays for engineering simulations, providing consistent unit handling and reducing manual tracking errors during quick checks and analyses.

Do I need any external dependencies to run unit-aware CLI calculations?▼

No external dependencies are required to run unit-aware CLI calculations, as the skill operates independently using a root SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter and optional scripts or references for extended functionality.

What is the best way to track units in engineering and scientific workflows?▼

The best way to track units in engineering and scientific workflows is using a compact DSL that automatically handles unit consistency across mathematical expressions, scalars, and arrays.

Why does manual unit tracking fail in complex engineering calculations?▼

Manual unit tracking fails in complex engineering calculations due to human error in conversion and consistency, which a unit-aware compact DSL eliminates by automatically evaluating expressions with attached units.
