How to check which modeling stages this machine can run with Modeling Workbench

Run the doctor check to see which stages work and which dependencies are missing.

Who it is forA student preparing for a math modeling contest who wants to know whether Python, LaTeX and the calculation backend are ready before the contest starts.

The problemSetting up the toolchain by guesswork wastes time, and missing tools are easy to miss until the paper stage.

The outcomeA report of usable stages and missing dependencies, with no software installed or changed unless you agree.

What you need first

  • Python 3.10 or newer with the Python dependencies the README lists
  • A MATLAB or Python calculation backend
  • XeLaTeX and a PDF rendering tool, needed before the paper stage
  • Official contest problem files, attachments and submission rules in one folder
  • Codex or Claude Code with access to the local tool folder

Steps

  1. Put the repository in a separate tool folder, or unzip the Download ZIP from the repository page into one.
  2. Open Codex or Claude Code in a writable local folder and send the environment prompt from the README Quick Start.
  3. Set S to the scripts folder inside .agents/skills/cumcm-workflow/scripts, then run python3 "$S/doctor.py".
  4. Add --json to the same command to see the full structured result.
  5. Read which stages are available and which dependencies are missing, then decide what to install.

Prompt for your agent

Use the Modeling Workbench repo in <tool folder> to check my environment. Read .agents/skills/cumcm-workflow/SKILL.md, run scripts/doctor.py, and list the available stages and missing dependencies. Do not install or change anything without my approval, and confirm the report names the tool folder and version.

Caveat. Setup time depends on existing dependencies, and the first LaTeX setup can take a long time.
