At a glance

A skill your agent uses when adding, editing or reviewing skills, role prompts or skill metadata.

  • Reviewing skills
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Skill authoring

What it does

Mathodology Skill Authoring is an agent skill from sweetcornna/mathodology. Use when adding, editing or reviewing skills, role prompts or skill metadata.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. 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 skills
  • Tasks that involve Skill authoring

Example prompts

  • “/mathodology-skill-authoring”

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

    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

Mathodology Skill Authoring loads about 425 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 211 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~425

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.

Mathodology Skill Authoring

Write reusable guidance around decisions, evidence and useful outputs. Explain when a method helps, how to recognize failure and when a simpler approach is better. Avoid mandatory phases, handoff schemas, arbitrary scores and prose that merely repeats another skill. Link the owning skill instead.

Every skill has SKILL.md frontmatter with a name equal to its directory and a trigger-focused description starting with Use when. Its agents/openai.yaml contains display_name, short_description and a default_prompt mentioning the matching $skill-name. These metadata files are discovery interfaces, not a workflow engine. Use concise role definitions; inherit the host's model choice.

Put detailed figure recipes, source provenance and examples in references or examples directories within the owning skill. Keep the entry point short and load only the references relevant to the task. Preserve third-party licensing; never execute downloaded source snapshots as an installation step.

Small scripts are appropriate when they perform concrete work such as plotting, backup or rendering. Keep them optional, declare dependencies, and verify the behavior they actually promise. Do not create a framework to enforce prompts.

Update all affected entry points, role skill lists, metadata and English/Chinese documentation. Keep each language natural; heading or code-block counts need not match. Check that commands, capabilities and links agree. Use maintenance for mechanical checks.
