What it does

Anmath Referee Strategy is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when anticipating how an expert Annals of Mathematics referee will verify a proof — stress-testing the argument for gaps, checking external dependencies, and pre-empting the questions a careful reader will ask. Hardens the manuscript before submission; does not write the rebuttal (anmath-revision).

Its SKILL.md is about 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 Research & Science, covering Load testing. 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

  • Anticipating how an expert Annals of Mathematics referee will verify a proof — stress-testing the argument for gaps
  • Checking external dependencies
  • Pre-empting the questions a careful reader will ask

Example prompts

  • “/anmath-referee-strategy”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Is it important enough? Significance is judged again at the report stage.
  2. Is every step actually valid? They will probe exactly the steps you find hardest.
  3. Do the external results say what you claim? They will check the cited statement.
  4. Does the theorem match the proof? Any over-claim is caught here.
  5. Is anything hidden behind "clearly"? Softening words attract scrutiny, not less.

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 Referee Strategy loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 485 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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 485 words (~1,035 tokens).

“Expect a referee who is an expert and verifies proofs in detail, often over a long period (a year or more is common). They do not skim; they reconstruct each step. Their implicit questions:”
