What it does

Construct Toy Examples is an agent skill from frenzymath/Danus. Generate and analyze simpler examples that satisfy both the assumptions and the conclusion of a theorem statement or subgoal. Use when you are stuck in reasoning and need simpler examples to regain traction, or when you want to see where the assumptions take effect and gain intuition.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: Orchestrating Mathematical Reasoning Agents with Fact-Graph Memory. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You are stuck in reasoning and need simpler examples to regain traction
  • You want to see where the assumptions take effect and gain intuition

Example prompts

  • “/construct-toy-examples”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Construct simpler cases (low degree, small dimension, special forms, canonical objects).
  2. Ensure the toy example satisfies all assumptions of the target statement or subgoal.
  3. Check that the conclusion also holds in the toy example.
  4. Study where each assumption takes effect and what mechanism makes the conclusion true.
  5. Identify repeated patterns, invariants, or proof ideas suggested by the example.
  6. Use search/reasoning/decomposition as needed to find examples or simplify the situation.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6d92e8d. 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 (its code samples are json).

    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

Construct Toy Examples loads about 541 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~541

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.

Construct Toy Examples

Use this skill when the agent is stuck in reasoning and needs simpler examples that satisfy both the assumptions and the conclusion in order to understand why the statement works.

Input Contract

Read:

  • current statement/subgoal
  • relevant immediate_conclusions
  • relevant counterexamples and failed branch notes
  • relevant background/results when available

Procedure

  1. Construct simpler cases (low degree, small dimension, special forms, canonical objects).
  2. Ensure the toy example satisfies all assumptions of the target statement or subgoal.
  3. Check that the conclusion also holds in the toy example.
  4. Study where each assumption takes effect and what mechanism makes the conclusion true.
  5. Identify repeated patterns, invariants, or proof ideas suggested by the example.
  6. Use search/reasoning/decomposition as needed to find examples or simplify the situation.

Output Contract

Publish each toy example to global memory with gm_add (kind example): claim = what the example shows, evidence = the construction, plus these fields:

json
{
  "example": "...",
  "why_relevant": "...",
  "assumptions_satisfied": ["..."],
  "conclusion_verified": true,
  "where_assumptions_take_effect": "...",
  "observed_pattern": "...",
  "supports_branch_ids": ["optional"],
  "subgoal_id": "optional"
}

Tools

  • gm_add (publish the example finding)
  • gm_search (recall related findings)
  • search_arxiv_theorems for matching examples/known motifs
  • Codex built-in web search for known example families and standard constructions
  • use $search-math-results when broader retrieval is needed

Failure Logging

If generated examples are inconclusive, append an events record:

  • event_type="toy_examples_inconclusive"
  • include attempted example families
