math

math is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AxGord/claude-workflow. It costs 26 tokens per session (1,132 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference of verified numerical-computing pitfalls, including integer overflow and small differences between JavaScript and Python floating-point calculations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working with large binomial coefficients, safe integer limits, cross-language math comparisons, trigonometric calculations, or floating-point parity.
Why use it?
It highlights edge cases that can produce incorrect results or prevent two language implementations from matching exactly.

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 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 3d 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.

Math — Verified Gotchas

Central Binomial Coefficient C(n, n/2) overflow

Type Last fits First overflow
Int64 C(66, 33) = 7,219,428,434,016,265,740 C(67, 33)
UInt64 C(67, 33) = 14,226,520,737,620,288,370 C(68, 34)

Models consistently underestimate this boundary (a common wrong answer is n=62; correct is n=66 for Int64).

Result vs computation: the table bounds the RESULT. Intermediate products in the usual res = res * (n-k+i) / i loop overflow earlier (the multiply happens before the divide) — the last few safe n need 128-bit intermediates or a divide-first formulation.

Cross-runtime trig: V8 Math.tan ≠ CPython math.tan by 1 ULP

When building bit-exact parity between TS/JS and Python implementations of the same math, tan is the single biggest offender. V8 and CPython do not share a single implementation (V8 ships its own fdlibm-derived routines; CPython calls platform libm), and tan's range reduction produces a different LSB from naive sin(x)/cos(x) for some angles — which layer is responsible varies by platform.

Fix: compute tan(x) as sin(x) / cos(x) in BOTH languages. sin and cos round-tripped bit-identically across the tested runtimes.

Op V8 Math.X vs CPython math.X Use?
sin, cos bit-identical (observed) yes
sqrt bit-identical (IEEE-754 mandates correctly-rounded) yes
tan 1 ULP drift possible avoid — use sin/cos
** (pow) 1-2 ULP drift possible accept tolerance
atan, atan2, exp, log 1-2 ULP drift possible accept tolerance

Even after sin/cos swap, pow(x, y) (e.g. step_mult = floor + norm**exp) can still produce 1-ULP-different doubles between V8 and CPython for some inputs. If the math identity is preserved (same algorithm, same constants, sin/cos for tan), math.isclose(rel_tol=1e-12, abs_tol=1e-9) covers ~2 ULP at typical magnitudes and is the right tolerance for "bit-exact in spirit".

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.

math is a skill published in the GitHub repository AxGord/claude-workflow (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 1,132 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
