• The q-character [FR99] is an injective homomorphism from Grothendieck ring of finite-dimensional modules over a quantum loop algebra into a Laurent polynomial ring in countably many variables, which is compatible with the ordinary character over the underlying simple Lie algebra. Recently, Hernandez and Leclerc [HL10, HL16] provided an algorithm for computing the q-characters of Kirillov-Reshetikhin (KR for short) modules by using cluster algebra. In summary, a certain sequence of quiver mutations makes a Laurent polynomial attached to a cluster variable (in the sense of a change of variables), which goes to the "truncated" q-character of a KR module.
  
  

• The code in [Link] computes the q-characters of KR modules in all untwisted types following Hernandez-Leclerc's cluster algebra algorithm, where the code uses the cluster algebra package in SageMath developed by Musiker and Stump [MS11] and the optional package [slabbe] to visualize quivers.
