math-olympiad

math-olympiad is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from anthropics/claude-plugins-official. It costs 163 tokens per session (4,533 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A problem-solving guide for competition mathematics such as IMO, Putnam, USAMO, and AIME, with separate checks for numerical answers and proofs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to solve, verify, or find counterexamples for olympiad-style equations, inequalities, recurrences, and proofs.
Why use it?
It helps catch gaps in mathematical arguments and supports admitting when a solution is not reliable.

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-olympiad 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_latex.sh, scripts/compile_pdf.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 412 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Math Olympiad Solver

The five things that change outcomes

  1. Strip thinking before verifying — a verifier that sees the reasoning is biased toward agreement. Fresh context, cleaned proof only.
  2. "Does this prove RH?" — if your theorem's specialization to ζ is a famous open problem, you have a gap. Most reliable red flag.
  3. Short proof → extract the general lemma — try 2×2 counterexamples. If general form is false, find what's special about THIS instance.
  4. Same gap twice → step back — the case split may be obscuring a unified argument. Three lines sometimes does what twelve pages couldn't.
  5. Say "no confident solution" — wrong-and-confident is worse than honest abstain.

Tool policy: Solvers and verifiers use THINKING ONLY in the tight-budget workflow. Competition math is reasoning. Computation is for deep mode (§6c), and even then bounded — a recurrence that's doubly-exponential can't be computed past n~30, work mod 2^m instead.


When to use which approach

Problem Approach Verification
AIME numeric answer Best-of-N → majority vote Answer check only
Olympiad proof (IMO/Putnam/USAMO) Full workflow below 5-pass adversarial
"Is this proof correct?" Skip to verification (step 4) Adversarial + spec-gaming
Full problem set (e.g. all 6 from a competition) Sequential: one full workflow per problem, collect results, compile single PDF Per-problem adversarial

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.
