FeynCalc Assistant: Intelligent Modular Skills System

A comprehensive suite of 4 modular Mathematica skills for particle physics calculations with intelligent query routing and curated examples.

🚀 Built with OpenCode & Claude Haiku 4.5

This entire skill system was created using OpenCode and powered by Claude Haiku 4.5.

This project demonstrates the capabilities of OpenCode for:

✨ Building complex, modular systems
✨ Organizing large knowledge bases (71 examples, 4,663 reference files)
✨ Creating intelligent routing systems (O(1) keyword lookup)
✨ Generating production-ready documentation and guides
✨ Synthesizing knowledge from 1,159+ source files into curated content

OpenCode enabled rapid skill development, intelligent file organization, and comprehensive testing workflows. Claude Haiku 4.5 provided the fast, efficient reasoning needed to structure complex physics concepts into accessible learning paths.

🎯 Quick Start

What Is This?

This is a FeynCalc learning and reference system organized into 4 modular skills:

Core Skill - Foundation: Lorentz vectors, Dirac algebra, kinematics
QED Skill - Quantum Electrodynamics: Bhabha, Compton, electron g-2
QCD Skill - Quantum Chromodynamics: Quark-gluon, renormalization, color flow
Tools Skill - Loop Integrals: FIRE, LoopTools, Kira, tensor reduction

Key Features

✅ 71 Working Examples - 100-400 lines each, production-ready code
✅ Intelligent Routing - Find exactly what you need with INDEX.json
✅ Smart Guides - Physics-to-example mapping with CURATORS_GUIDE.md
✅ Complete References - 367 FeynHelpers functions documented
✅ Scripts & Templates - Batch processing + Mathematica templates

How It Works

User: "How do I compute Bhabha scattering?"
  ↓
System searches INDEX.json (O(1) lookup)
  ↓
Returns: 01-Bhabha-tree-level.m (322 lines, beginner)
         + Related: 03-Electron-Positron (easier)
         + Related: 07-Compton (more channels)
  ↓
User selects → Load ONLY that example (~300 lines, not 3000+)

🚀 Getting Started

Option 1: Browse by Skill

I want to learn FeynCalc fundamentals → Start with feyncalc-core-skill

Read: /guides/CURATORS_GUIDE.md
Start with: 01-lorentz-vectors-metrics.m
Then: 02-dirac-spinors.m

I want to compute QED processes → Start with feyncalc-qed-skill

Read: /guides/CURATORS_GUIDE.md
Start with: 01-Bhabha-tree-level.m
Reference: /guides/QUERY_ROUTER.md

I want to compute QCD processes → Start with feyncalc-qcd-skill

Option 3: Use INDEX.json for Programmatic Access

Each skill has INDEX.json with:

Keywords searchable in O(1) time
Process matrix (what processes are included)
Related examples (learning paths)
Difficulty levels (beginner to advanced)

Example query:

// feyncalc-qed-skill/INDEX.json
{
  "search_index": {
    "bhabha": ["01", "03"],
    "1-loop": ["02", "04", "05"],
    "tree-level": ["01", "03", "06", "07"]
  }

🔍 Intelligent Routing System

How It Works

Problem: 71 examples × 400 lines = 28,000+ lines to scan
Solution: INDEX.json + QUERY_ROUTER.md = O(1) lookup

Example Flow:

User input: "How do I compute g-2 for the electron?"

Step 1: Parse query
  → Keywords: ["g-2", "electron", "1-loop", "QED"]

Step 2: Search QED skill INDEX.json
  → search_index["g-2"] = ["04"]
  → search_index["1-loop"] = ["02", "04", "05", ...]

Step 3: Narrow results
  → Common: ["04"]
  → Found: 04-Electron-g-2-1loop.m

Step 4: Recommend
  → Primary: 04-Electron-g-2-1loop.m (263 lines, 1-loop)
  → Related: 11-Electron-g-2-2loop.m (347 lines, 2-loop precision)
  → Also see: CURATORS_GUIDE.md (precision physics section)

Step 5: User selects
  → Load ONLY selected file (~300 lines)

Key Benefits

Benefit	Implementation
Fast	O(1) JSON search vs O(n) file scan
Accurate	Keywords chosen by physics domain
Guided	Related examples provide learning paths
Scalable	Works with 8 or 800 examples
Decentralized	Each skill has its own routing

amplitude // Contract // Simplify

Batch Processing with Scripts

Each skill has scripts for automation:

feyncalc-core-skill/scripts/batch-compute-all-core.m

(* Runs all 8 core examples *)
Run["batch-compute-all-core.m"]

feyncalc-qed-skill/scripts/qed-all-processes.m

(* Computes all QED processes *)
Run["qed-all-processes.m"]

See /scripts/ in each skill for details.

Using Templates

Templates are Mathematica files with sections marked for modification:

(* Template: feyncalc-core-skill/templates/custom-amplitude.m *)

(* ===== MODIFY THESE ===== *)
processName = "Your Process Here";
particles = {...};  (* Change particles *)
(* ===== END MODIFICATION ===== *)

(* Rest of code uses above definitions *)
