What it does

Anmath Methods is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when laying out the proof strategy of a pure-mathematics manuscript for Annals of Mathematics — the architecture of the argument, the key lemmas and propositions, the novel technique, and where the difficulty lies. Designs and exposes the proof plan; does not check final correctness line-by-line (see anmath-referee-strategy).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Writing & Content, covering Creative writing and fiction. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Laying out the proof strategy of a pure-mathematics manuscript for Annals of Mathematics — the architecture of the argument
  • The key lemmas and propositions
  • The novel technique
  • Where the difficulty lies

Example prompts

  • “/anmath-methods”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Proof outline up front. After stating the Main Theorem, give a paragraph or short
  2. Decompose into named results. Break the argument into Lemmas, Propositions, and
  3. Isolate the new idea. Name explicitly which step is the genuinely new technique and
  4. Locate the difficulty. Tell the reader where the hard part is and why it is hard;

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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

Anmath Methods loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 543 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 543 words (~1,087 tokens).

“For an Annals paper, an expert non-specialist should be able to read a proof overview and understand how the theorem is proved before verifying that it is. The architecture is part of the contribution.”
