AI SummaryObsPy booster enables seismic data processing, waveform analysis, and earthquake research by providing access to read multiple seismic formats, fetch FDSN data, and perform signal processing tasks. Geoscientists, seismologists, and geophysics researchers benefit from streamlined earthquake data workflows.
Install
Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to install the "obspy" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into the correct directory (6 files) mkdir -p .claude/skills/obspy && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/obspy/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills/main/obspy/SKILL.md" && mkdir -p .claude/skills/obspy/references && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/obspy/references/channel_codes.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills/main/obspy/references/channel_codes.md" && mkdir -p .claude/skills/obspy/references && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/obspy/references/fdsn_clients.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills/main/obspy/references/fdsn_clients.md" && mkdir -p .claude/skills/obspy/references && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/obspy/references/troubleshooting.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills/main/obspy/references/troubleshooting.md" && mkdir -p .claude/skills/obspy/scripts && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/obspy/scripts/batch_process.py "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills/main/obspy/scripts/batch_process.py" && mkdir -p .claude/skills/obspy/scripts && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/obspy/scripts/fetch_earthquake.py "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills/main/obspy/scripts/fetch_earthquake.py" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
Seismology data processing with ObsPy. Helps with reading seismic waveforms, filtering/processing time series, fetching data from FDSN services, and earthquake analysis. Use when Claude needs to: (1) Read seismic data formats (MiniSEED, SAC, GSE2, SEGY), (2) Filter or process waveforms, (3) Fetch data from IRIS/USGS/FDSN services, (4) Search for earthquakes by magnitude/location, (5) Plot seismograms or spectrograms, (6) Remove instrument response, (7) Analyze station metadata.
Quick Reference
`python from obspy import read, UTCDateTime from obspy.clients.fdsn import Client
Read local file (MiniSEED, SAC, etc.)
st = read("data.mseed") tr = st[0] # First trace print(tr.stats) # Metadata
Fetch from FDSN
client = Client("IRIS") t = UTCDateTime("2023-02-06T01:17:00") st = client.get_waveforms("IU", "ANMO", "00", "LHZ", t, t + 3600) st.plot() `
Key Classes
| Class | Purpose | |-------|---------| | Stream | Container for multiple Trace objects | | Trace | Single waveform with data + metadata | | UTCDateTime | Precise time handling | | Inventory | Station/channel metadata | | Catalog | Earthquake event information |
