What it does

Mathodology Award Gates is an agent skill from sweetcornna/mathodology. Use when reviewing mathematical validity, evidence, reproducibility, figures or a submission draft.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/make_contact_sheet.py`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. The repository describes itself as: 专为数学建模竞赛设计的数模 Agent Skills:MCM/ICM 美赛、CUMCM 国赛、华数杯、M3、HiMCM 等,面向 Claude Code 与 Codex 的获奖级建模工作流。Math modeling contest skills for Claude Code & Codex. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing mathematical validity
  • Reproducibility
  • A submission draft

Example prompts

  • “/mathodology-award-gates”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0cfcd93. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Mathodology Award Gates loads about 709 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 348 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~709

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Mathodology Review Questions

The legacy skill name is retained for discovery. Review the substance of the work; do not estimate awards from invented numeric thresholds or require a particular handoff format. Scale review to the claims and the deadline.

Mathematical and empirical questions

  • Does the solution answer every required question and represent its essential mechanisms?
  • Are equations, units, constraints and limiting cases consistent? Is the solution feasible?
  • Can the parameters be identified from the available observations?
  • Does the described method match the code, including preprocessing and exclusions?
  • Is a reported advantage measured against an appropriate baseline on comparable data?
  • Are fitting, tuning and evaluation separated where the claim requires it?
  • Are outcomes forced by normalization or constraints labeled as such?
  • Could plausible changes to important assumptions reverse the recommendation?
  • Are confidence intervals, predictive intervals and simulation variability distinguished?
  • Can reported numbers be traced to data, code, a derivation or a stated assumption?
  • Are evidence gaps, failed runs and material limitations disclosed?

Use relevant questions, not every possible test. When scenarios share comparable random inputs, paired simulations may improve precision; explain the coupling. Use Monte Carlo uncertainty for estimated probabilities, and disclose the number of simulations. Do not claim proof from a handful of successful runs.

Figures and paper

Load figure presets. Read figures at the size used in the final document. Check labels, uncertainty definitions, legends, color scales and captions against the underlying results. Inspect dense pages of the compiled PDF as well as individual exports. Image2 imagery must remain consistent with the mechanism; generated pixels are not quantitative evidence.

The optional PDF overview utility requires Poppler's pdftoppm and Matplotlib. It creates a page overview for visual review:

bash
python3 .claude/skills/mathodology-award-gates/scripts/make_contact_sheet.py solution.pdf -o overview.png

An overview helps find layout problems; zoom into dense pages to judge actual legibility. A successful render is not a certificate of quality.

Useful review output

Explain each material issue, its evidence, its effect on the conclusion and a concrete fix. Distinguish errors from optional improvements. Correct consequential errors before relying on the result; disclose unresolved uncertainty. Never require the user to approve routine fixes or invent a scoring ceremony.
