At a glance

Turns a vague math interest into a bounded, searchable problem and builds a source-traced evidence graph, with novelty checks and conjectures drawn from evidence gaps.

  • Looking up the definitions, theorems or prior work around a math problem
  • SKILL.md covers Position in the Method Map, When to Use This Skill, Not For / Boundaries and Quick Reference, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Checking whether a conjecture or integer sequence is already known

What it does

This Chinese-language skill sits before formal tools such as Lean, SMT, model checking or abstract interpretation: it freezes the object, domain, quantifiers, sources and acceptable conclusions so a problem can be stated precisely. It looks up definitions, theorems and proof techniques, builds keyword, alias and subject-class lists, searches arXiv, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex and Crossref, and keeps a source ledger and evidence graph.

Boundaries are strict: not finding a result does not mean nobody studied it, abstracts cannot replace reading theorem statements and proofs, and blogs or model summaries are never original evidence. Candidate conjectures are not promoted to results without proof or computation. By default only admitted problems from the local library are queried, and the candidate collection is used on request, with source, licence and admission status kept. Search tries project resources and MCP first, then SearXNG, then the general web, and switches provider on rate limits instead of retrying forever.

Worked examples cover the lineage of variants of the Szemerédi regularity lemma, checking a new integer sequence against OEIS without treating a match as a theorem, and shortlisting open problems for graph-theory computation. Two reference files cover the research source map and pressure tests for misuse of abstracts.

When your agent uses it

  • Looking up the definitions, theorems or prior work around a math problem
  • Checking whether a conjecture or integer sequence is already known
  • Building a source ledger and evidence graph before attempting a proof
  • Reading papers while separating authors' claims from proof dependencies

Example prompts

  • “Find the main variants of the Szemerédi regularity lemma and cite where each theorem appears.”
  • “Check whether this integer sequence is already known and tell me what kind of match it is.”
  • “From the admitted problem library, shortlist open problems suited to graph-theory computation.”

Requirements

  • Search access through project resources, MCP or SearXNG
  • The local problem library query script

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0a7fdf4. 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

Math Discovery Evidence Search loads about 554 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 102 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~554
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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.

数学问题发现与证据检索。用于界定研究问题、查定义/定理谱系、检索 arXiv/Scholar/OpenAlex/Crossref、建立来源账本、证据图、查新或从证据缺口生成可证伪猜想。

Math Discovery

把模糊兴趣变成可界定、可检索、可证伪的数学问题,并产出来源可追溯的证据图。

Position in the Method Map

本 skill 负责方法地图第一层的“规格与语义”前置:在选择 Lean、SMT、model checking 或 abstract interpretation 之前,先冻结对象、定义域、量词、来源和可接受结论。对应的机器边界是 ProblemContract;地图总览见 FORMAL-METHODS-MAP.md。

When to Use This Skill

  • 需要查询某个定义、定理、证明技术或问题的前人工作。
  • 需要从本地 admitted/candidate 问题语料发现研究方向,并判断来源成熟度或准入缺口。
  • 需要建立关键词、别名、MSC/领域分类和检索式。
  • 需要判断“是否已有类似结果”,或从冲突/空白形成候选猜想。
  • 需要阅读论文并区分作者原始主张、证明依赖和当前综合判断。

Not For / Boundaries

  • “没搜到”不等于“从未有人研究”。
  • 搜索摘要不能替代读取定理陈述与证明正文。
  • 不把博客、搜索摘要或模型总结当作原始证据。
  • 不在没有证明/计算证据时把候选猜想提升为结果。
  • CandidateObservation 是来源发现材料,research_eligible=false;不得直接创建 Attempt,也不得把来源的 answered/resolved/solved 当作数学 Result。
  • 默认只查询 admitted;只有用户明确需要扩展发现面时才使用 --collection candidates|all,并在输出中保留 collection、来源和许可边界。

Quick Reference

text
1. 固定对象、领域、问题和非目标。
2. 先查 `query_problem_library.py --collection admitted`;需要扩面时再显式查 candidates。
3. 建立术语:正式名、别名、旧名、符号、MSC、相邻领域术语。
4. 冻结检索式、来源、日期、语言和停止条件。
5. 优先原始论文、正式出版物、arXiv 原文和官方数据库记录。
6. 为每个来源记录稳定 ID、URL/DOI/arXiv ID、版本、raw locator 和证据位置。
7. 将关系标为 supports / contradicts / limits / extends / unknown;候选身份匹配只进入 review queue。
8. 输出已知事实、冲突、空白、候选猜想和下一步取证。

默认 provider 顺序:项目资源/MCP → SearXNG arxiv,semantic scholar,openalex,crossref →通用 Web。429/CAPTCHA 时记录失败并切换 provider;不无限重试。

Examples

Example 1:定理谱系
  • 输入:“找 Szemerédi 正则性引理的主要变体。”
  • 动作:冻结术语与范围,检索原论文和后续正式变体,构建依赖图。
  • 验收:每项结论带稳定来源和定理位置;未读全文项标记未核验。
Example 2:序列查新
  • 输入:一组整数项和生成规则。
  • 动作:先确认规则与索引,再用 OEIS/论文检索,区分序列匹配与定理匹配。
  • 验收:不会因 OEIS 命中直接声称生成机制相同。
Example 3:候选问题库选题
  • 输入:“从新增问题库里找适合图论计算的开放问题。”
  • 动作:显式查询 candidates,保留 source status、许可和 admission 状态;只生成待审 shortlist,不启动计算。
  • 验收:每项均标为 research_eligible=false,唯一下一步是来源/陈述准入或 ProblemContract 冻结。

References

  • references/source-map.md:研究方法与检索供应链映射。
  • references/pressure-tests.md:查新与摘要误用压力场景。

Maintenance

  • Sources:rw-research-skill、wentor-research-plugins、kdense-scientific-skills。
  • Last updated:2026-08-13。
  • Verification:供应链检查 + 搜索 provider smoke;外部数据库状态每次使用时重新核验。
