Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00063 | $0.01837 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00919 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00367 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00184 |
Grade A, and why
nonlinear-solvers 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.
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 — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Nonlinear Solvers
Goal
Provide a universal workflow to select a nonlinear solver, configure globalization strategies, and diagnose convergence for root-finding, optimization, and least-squares problems.
Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- NumPy (for Jacobian diagnostics)
- SciPy (optional, for advanced analysis)
Inputs to Gather
| Input | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Problem type | Root-finding, optimization, least-squares | root-finding |
| Problem size | Number of unknowns | n = 10000 |
| Jacobian availability | Analytic, finite-diff, unavailable | analytic |
| Jacobian cost | Cheap or expensive to compute | expensive |
| Constraints | None, bounds, equality, inequality | none |
| Smoothness | Is objective/residual smooth? | yes |
| Residual history | Sequence of residual norms | 1,0.1,0.01,... |
Decision Guidance
Solver Selection Flowchart
Is Jacobian available and cheap?
├── YES → Problem size?
│ ├── Small (n < 1000) → Newton (full)
│ └── Large (n ≥ 1000) → Newton-Krylov
└── NO → Is objective smooth?
├── YES → Memory limited?
│ ├── YES → L-BFGS or Broyden
│ └── NO → BFGS
└── NO → Anderson acceleration or Picard

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.

nonlinear-solvers is a skill published in the GitHub repository beita6969/ScienceClaw (896 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,837 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
