differentiability-expert

differentiability-expert is an agent for Claude Code from jkitchin/discopt. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,940 once invoked), scanned A, original, EPL-2.0.

A guide to computing gradients through discopt optimization solutions. It covers mathematical methods for finding how the best solution changes when the problem’s parameters change, including envelope and KKT-based differentiation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze solution sensitivities and work with discopt’s differentiablesolve, differentiablesolvel3, and Model.parameter() APIs.
Why use it?
It helps when a solver’s output must be used in another gradient-based calculation, such as model training or sensitivity analysis. It addresses both simpler cases and cases where active constraints matter.

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

differentiability-expert 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 1mo 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 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.
