What it does

Mathfin Data Analysis is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing the numerical-experiments part of a Mathematical Finance (Wiley) manuscript — at this theory-first venue that means illustrative computation that SUPPORTS a proof (convergence, error bounds, qualitative behavior), never empirical data analysis. Keeps numerics rigorous, reproducible, and subordinate to the theorems.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data analysis. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Mathfin Data Analysis loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 620 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Keeps numerics rigorous, reproducible, and subordinate to the theorems.

Numerical Experiments (mathfin-data-analysis)

Note on framing

This is a theory-first journal. Mathematical Finance explicitly states that numerical experiments are welcome only when accompanied by a rigorous analysis supporting the theoretical developments, and that routine application of computational methods to financial data will not be considered. So "data analysis" here is not empirical estimation — it is numerical work that illustrates or stress-tests a theorem. This skill is deliberately lighter than its empirical-journal counterpart.

When to trigger

  • You want to add simulations or a numerical scheme to a proof-based paper
  • A referee may ask whether your theorem "does anything" beyond existence
  • You need to show convergence, accuracy, or qualitative behavior predicted by the theory

How to keep numerics journal-appropriate

  1. Tie every experiment to a result. Each figure/table should illustrate a specific theorem, proposition, or rate (e.g., "Monte Carlo error decays at the proven $O(n^{-1/2})$ rate", "the free boundary matches the smooth-fit characterization").
  2. State the method precisely. Discretization scheme (Euler–Maruyama, Milstein, PDE finite-difference/finite-element), step sizes, number of paths, variance reduction, truncation of the domain — enough that the experiment is reproducible.
  3. Report error, not just output. Where the theory gives a rate or bound, show the empirical rate against it; show convergence as the grid refines.
  4. Choose parameters with financial meaning (volatilities, maturities, strikes) so the illustration speaks to the modelling problem.
  5. Keep numerics subordinate. They support the theory; they are never the contribution. Do not let a numerical section grow into a stand-alone empirical study.

Reproducibility (light but real)

  • Pin software/library versions; set and report random seeds for any Monte Carlo.
  • Make illustrative code reproducible; consider archiving it (Zenodo/GitHub) and citing it.
  • Include a Data Availability Statement even if no external data are used (see mathfin-replication-and-data-policy).

Worked micro-example: convergence exhibit for a rough-volatility paper

Suppose Theorem 3.2 proves that a Markovian multi-factor approximation of a rough volatility model converges at a rate governed by the Hurst parameter H. The journal-appropriate exhibit: simulate both models with the same Brownian increments, plot the implied-volatility error against the number of factors on log axes, draw the theoretical slope as a reference line, and caption with the scheme, step size, path count, seed, and the theorem number. What would NOT fit: calibrating the approximation to index-option data and reporting fit quality — that turns an illustration into the empirical study the journal screens out.

Pre-submission numerics audit

  • Every exhibit names the theorem, proposition, or rate it illustrates — no orphan plots.
  • The observed rate is computed (regression slope), not eyeballed, and stated next to the proven one.
  • Degenerate sanity cases (zero volatility, Black–Scholes limit, H → 1/2) reproduce known closed forms before the general runs are trusted.
  • The numerical section would survive deletion: the theorems stand alone without it.

Anti-patterns

  • A numerical study with no theorem behind it (out of scope for this journal).
  • Plots with no error/convergence analysis where the theory promises a rate.
  • Unstated scheme, step size, or path count — irreproducible.
  • Calibrating to real market data and presenting it as the paper's result.
