How plugins work

sim-cli-core is the runtime. Each solver is wired in through a separate sim-plugin-<solver> package that you install alongside the core. After installing a plugin, sync its bundled skill into your agent harness and run a health check:

uv add sim-cli-core sim-plugin-<solver>
uv run sim plugin sync-skills --target .agents/skills --copy   # Codex / Copilot
uv run sim plugin sync-skills --target .claude/skills --copy   # Claude Code
uv run sim check <solver>
uv run sim plugin doctor <solver> --deep

sim-cli does not bundle or redistribute commercial solvers or vendor SDKs. Users must provide their own licensed solver installations.

Featured (pinned on GitHub)

Recommended starting set. All have landing pages, how-to guides, and a bundled agent skill.

After installing a plugin

check readiness → attach to live session → inspect model state
→ run one bounded CAE step → verify result/state → save checkpoint/artifacts

See skill installation for how uv run sim plugin sync-skills delivers the per-solver agent skill into your harness.
