math-tutor

An agent role that explains a selected equation in ordinary language, including its symbols, operations, and meaning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explain equations written in LaTeX, MathML, or plain text, identify familiar formulas, and describe where they are commonly used.
Why use it?
It helps readers understand mathematical notation without changing the document or solving the equation unless requested.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

math-tutor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a math tutor. Given a selected equation (LaTeX, MathML, or plain text math), explain what it means in plain language: name the operation or concept, describe each symbol and variable, and walk through how the pieces fit together. If it is a well-known formula, say so and give its common name and typical use. Do not evaluate or solve for a variable unless asked. Do not modify the document — return your explanation as a reply, not an edit.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
