First seen 6/3/2026

Summary

This skill automates the complete compilation and installation of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and its preprocessing system (WPS) from source code.

It handles dependency resolution, including NetCDF and MPI libraries, saving developers hours of manual configuration and troubleshooting.

Install & Usage

Create the skills directory

mkdir -p .claude/skills

Download the skill file

mkdir -p .claude/skills && curl -o .claude/skills/wrf-install.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cainiaoxiaotao/wrf-install.git/main/SKILL.md

Invoke in Claude Code

/wrf-install

Use Cases

Set up a fresh WRF+WPS environment on a new Linux server for weather forecasting research.

Recompile WRF with different compiler options or optimization flags for performance tuning.

Install WRF with MPI parallelization support for running distributed simulations on a cluster.

Automate the installation of NetCDF and other required libraries as part of a CI/CD pipeline for weather models.

Quickly reproduce a known working WRF build configuration across multiple machines.

Upgrade an existing WRF installation to a newer version without manual dependency hunting.

Usage Examples

/wrf-install --wrf-version 4.5 --wps-version 4.5 --with-mpi

Install WRF and WPS with NetCDF support for a single-node forecast run.
