AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
SimPy is a process-based discrete-event simulation framework for Python. This skill provides the necessary knowledge and tools to model systems where active entities interact with resources, such as queues, logistics, and service operations. It emphasizes a rigorous simulation methodology, including independent replications, warm-up periods, and reproducible output analysis, while providing safe, bounded CLI tools for common simulation scenarios.
What it does
- Provides primitives for event scheduling, resource management, and process synchronization.
- Supports complex resource types including PriorityResource, PreemptiveResource, and various Stores.
- Includes safe, bounded CLI tools for running and validating simulation scenarios.
- Facilitates deterministic simulation execution and reproducible results.
- Offers guidance on simulation methodology, including warm-up, run length, and replication analysis.
When to use it
- When modeling event-driven systems like production lines, network traffic, or service queues.
- When you need to perform discrete-event simulation studies with rigorous statistical methodology.
- When you require a reproducible, process-based simulation environment in Python.
- When you need to analyze resource contention and queue dynamics in a controlled simulation.
Advantages
- No runtime dependencies beyond the Python standard library.
- Deterministic execution model ensures reproducibility.
- Includes pre-built, safe CLI tools for common queueing scenarios.
- Supports advanced simulation features like process interruption and preemption.
- Strict adherence to simulation methodology best practices.
Usage examples
- “How do I set up a basic SimPy environment for a queue simulation?”
- The agent provides a template using simpy.Environment and simpy.Resource, demonstrating how to define customer processes and arrival generators with proper time horizons.
- “Run a simulation of a multi-server queue using the bundled CLI.”
- The agent executes the replication_runner.py script with a validated configuration, outputting JSON-formatted results including throughput and loss probability.
- “How can I handle process preemption in my simulation?”
- The agent explains the use of PreemptiveResource and how to catch the simpy.Interrupt exception within a generator to manage preempted work.

SimPy
Scope
Use this skill for process-based discrete-event models where active entities yield events and contend for resources: queues, production systems, logistics, networks, service operations, inventory, and other event-driven systems.
SimPy supplies an event scheduler and modeling primitives. It does not choose a scientifically valid conceptual model, input distribution, warm-up, run length, replication count, estimand, or causal interpretation. Treat those as simulation-study methodology, not SimPy API behavior.
Current release and installation
Reviewed 2026-10-01 against current official documentation and the released source:
Latest stable: SimPy 4.1.2, released on PyPI 2026-05-24; source tag
4.1.2points to commitf4381649.Package metadata requires Python >=3.8 and classifies CPython 3.8-3.14 plus PyPy. SimPy has no runtime dependencies.
4.1.2 adds Python 3.13/3.14 support and modern-interpreter test fixes.
Upstream and this skill are MIT-licensed.
Create a reproducible environment:
uv venv --python 3.13
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install "simpy==4.1.2"
python -c "import importlib.metadata; print(importlib.metadata.version('simpy'))"Do not silently substitute the latest documentation build: it may describe an
unreleased development revision. Use the versioned 4.1.2 links in
references/sources.md.
Model workflow
Define purpose and estimands. State the decision/question, system boundary, entities, resources, state, outputs, time units, and terminating event or steady-state target.
Write a conceptual model first. Record assumptions, distributions, routing, priorities, initial conditions, and omitted mechanisms.
Implement generators. A SimPy process is an event-yielding Python generator. Register the generator object with
env.process(...).Bound execution. Give every production run explicit time, entity, event, and replication caps. Never call
env.run()on a model containing an endless process. A time horizon alone cannot stop an endlessyield env.timeout(0)loop: events keep running at the same simulation time. Add an event-count or no-time-progress guard, and wait on state-change events instead of zero-delay busy polling.Separate random streams. Use local RNG instances for logically distinct stochastic sources; retain a seed manifest.
Instrument deliberately. Observe state after the transition of interest, close time-weighted intervals at the horizon, and test that monitoring does not alter event order.
Verify and validate. Test deterministic edge cases, conservation identities, traces, queue discipline, and analytical benchmarks; compare against system or expert evidence for the stated purpose.
Run independent replications. Make intervals from replication-level estimates, not correlated entities within one run.
Report limitations. Include initialization, unfinished entities, run length, seeds/streams, precision, sensitivity, and validation evidence. Never convert simulation association into a causal claim.
Read references/simulation-methodology.md before making inferential claims.
Minimal bounded model
import random
import simpy
HORIZON = 480.0
arrival_rng = random.Random(101)
service_rng = random.Random(202)
env = simpy.Environment()
server = simpy.Resource(env, capacity=2)
completed = []
def customer(arrival):
with server.request() as request:
yield request
wait = env.now - arrival
yield env.timeout(service_rng.expovariate(1 / 6.0))
completed.append((env.now, wait))
def arrivals():
for _ in range(10_000): # Entity cap.
delay = arrival_rng.expovariate(1 / 4.0)
if env.now + delay >= HORIZON:
return
yield env.timeout(delay)
env.process(customer(env.now))
env.process(arrivals())
env.run(until=HORIZON)The numeric horizon is half-open: normal events scheduled exactly at 480.0 are
not processed. Report unfinished entities rather than silently treating them as
completed observations.
Core semantics
Environment and deterministic ordering
Environment is single-threaded. The queue is ordered by simulation time, event
priority, then a strictly increasing event ID. Same-time, same-priority events are
therefore processed FIFO in scheduling order. Model processes may represent
concurrency, but callbacks execute sequentially and deterministically.
This orders the events currently queued. A callback can insert an urgent event at the current time, so a valid processing trace need not have globally increasing priority or event IDs within a timestamp.
env.now: unitless simulation clock; choose and document one unit.env.peek(): next event time or infinity.env.step(): process one event; raisesEmptySchedulewhen empty.env.active_process: currently executing process, otherwiseNone.env.run(): drain the queue; unsafe with recurring or endless processes.
env.run(until=number) and env.run(until=event) are not interchangeable at
boundaries:
A numeric value schedules an urgent stop event and excludes ordinary events at that exact time.
An Event criterion returns that event's value when its stop callback fires. Other same-time ordering depends on priority and scheduling order.
In 4.1.2,
Environment.step()preserves callbacks remaining afterStopSimulationby rescheduling the target. Consequently, afterenv.run(until=target),target.processedcan remainFalseuntil one morestep()/run()even though its value was returned. Do not useprocessedas the sole post-run completion test.
See references/events.md and references/monitoring.md.
Event, Timeout, Process, and Condition
An
Eventmoves once through not-triggered -> triggered/scheduled -> processed.succeed(value)orfail(exception)triggers it once.A
Timeouttriggers when created, is scheduled fornow + delay, and cannot be manually succeeded again.env.process(generator)creates aProcess; the generator resumes with the yielded event value. Returning from the generator succeeds the Process with that return value. Uncaught exceptions fail it.AnyOf/a | bandAllOf/a & byield aConditionValue: an ordered, dict-like mapping from event objects to their values. Test membership using the original event objects; do not assume a scalar result.AnyOfdoes not cancel losing events. Explicitly cancel pending resource requests when abandoning them; ordinary timeouts remain scheduled.
Interrupts
process.interrupt(cause) schedules an urgent interruption that throws
simpy.Interrupt into the target generator. Catch it around the yielded work that
may be interrupted, inspect interrupt.cause, update remaining work, then either
resume, re-yield the original event, or terminate.
Interrupting a process removes its resume callback from its current target; it does
not cancel that target event. A process cannot interrupt itself or a terminated
process. See references/process-interaction.md.
Shared resources
| Type | Semantics |
|---|---|
Resource | FIFO semaphore-like usage slots |
PriorityResource | Queued requests sorted by lower numeric priority first |
PreemptiveResource | Priority queue plus optional preemption of a current user |
Container | Homogeneous numeric level; put/get wait for capacity/material |
Store | FIFO Python objects |
FilterStore | First available item satisfying the request's predicate |
PriorityStore | Comparable items returned in priority order |
Use a request context manager:
def job(env, resource):
with resource.request() as request:
yield request
yield env.timeout(3)On exit it releases an acquired request or cancels a still-pending one, including
during exception unwinding. For a manually retained pending put/get/request,
call cancel() if an interrupt or timeout makes the process abandon it.
PreemptiveResource.request(priority=..., preempt=True) uses lower numbers as
higher priority. The preempted process receives an Interrupt whose cause is a
Preempted object: cause.by is the preempting Process,
cause.usage_since is when use began, and cause.resource is the resource.
Queued priority takes precedence over the preempt flag; mixing preempting and
non-preempting requests needs explicit tests.
Read references/resources.md for blocked operations, queue rules, and examples.
Monitoring and stepping
Prefer explicit domain observations at state transitions. For generic resource
monitoring, wrappers or subclasses can inspect count, queue, level, items,
put_queue, and get_queue. For event tracing, schedule() and step() are the
central hooks.
Queue measurements are timing-sensitive:
A request method's pre-state, post-call state, grant callback, and release callback can all differ at the same simulation timestamp.
Sample averages weight event observations, not time. Compute area under the post-transition state path and divide by elapsed time.
Add initial and final samples; close the last interval at the analysis horizon.
env._queue, resource_env, and monkey-patching are implementation details. Pin SimPy, isolate the instrumentation, and regression-test after upgrades.Tracing every event changes runtime and memory use; cap trace records.
Use scripts/resource_monitor.py and references/monitoring.md.
Real-time execution
simpy.rt.RealtimeEnvironment(initial_time=0, factor=1.0, strict=True) maps one
simulation unit to factor wall-clock seconds. In strict mode, step()/run()
raises RuntimeError when computation falls behind. strict=False tolerates lag;
it does not restore timing accuracy. Develop logic with Environment, then run
separate timing tests with generous platform-aware tolerances. See
references/real-time.md.
Bundled safe CLIs
All CLIs use a fixed built-in queue model or summarize local artifacts. They reject unknown JSON keys, URLs, symlinks, non-finite numbers, oversized inputs, and unbounded time/events/entities/replications. They never evaluate config text, execute user Python, import plugins, or call a network service.
# Inspect all options.

# Independent replications with replication-level Student-t intervals.
python skills/simpy/scripts/replication_runner.py
# Validate only; no simulation runs.
python skills/simpy/scripts/validate_simulation_config.py config.jsonThe replication runner refuses one-replication intervals. Its intervals quantify
Monte Carlo uncertainty under the configured model; they neither validate the model
nor identify causal effects. See references/cli-guide.md.
Schema 1.2 reports explicit metric windows: throughput counts all departures during
[warm_up, horizon), loss uses arrivals/rejections in that same window, and customer
means use post-warm-up arrivals completed before the horizon. These customer means
remain vulnerable to completion censoring. The scripts require the pinned SimPy
version because tracing depends on its scheduler internals.
Testing
Use deterministic unit tests for ordering, boundary times, conditions, interrupts, all resource disciplines, conservation, event/entity limits, seed reproducibility, and monitor non-interference. Add stochastic tests only as broad distributional checks with fixed seeds; avoid brittle exact sample estimates.

Requirements and compatibility
Works with: Claude Code, Claude apps, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Kiro, OpenCode, Goose, Amp, Roo Code, JetBrains Junie, Factory Droid, Devin (ex-Windsurf), Mistral Vibe, OpenHands, Letta
“Works with” means the tool reads the open Agent Skills format; a skill written for one tool may use features others lack.
Needs: Declares allowed tools, Needs network access, Needs Python
The author says: Upstream SimPy 4.1.2 supports Python 3.8+; bundled CLIs require Python 3.10+, uv, and SimPy 4.1.2. They use only SimPy and the standard library, operate on local bounded inputs, and make no network calls.
Security
What our scanner noticed· Low risk
- Instructions that use the network
- Scripts that your agent may run
This skill includes scripts that your agent may run. Read them before you use it.
A static scan is not a guarantee. Skills are third-party content: review a skill before you let an agent use it.
