What it does and how to use it

A skill that teaches Claude Code to do scientific tasks well. It is packaged knowledge the model uses whenever it is relevant.

  1. Install the skill (command above).
  2. In Claude Code, describe what you need - the skill turns on by itself when the context fits.
  3. No commands to memorize: you talk in plain language and the skill does the rest.

Install (Claude Code)

mkdir -p .claude/skills/scaling && curl -fsSL https://doutorai.pt/data/lib/skills__scaling.md -o .claude/skills/scaling/SKILL.md

Paste this command into the terminal, in your project folder, and the component installs automatically.

# Scaling Out on Modal

## Automatic Autoscaling

Every Modal Function corresponds to an autoscaling pool of containers. Modal's autoscaler:
- Spins up containers when no capacity available
- Spins down containers when resources idle
- Scales to zero by default when no inputs to process

Autoscaling decisions are made quickly and frequently.

## Parallel Execution with `.map()`

Run function repeatedly with different inputs in parallel:

```python
@app.function()
def evaluate_model(x):
    return x ** 2

@app.local_entrypoint()
def main():
    inputs = list(range(100))
    # Runs 100 inputs in
