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.

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 | $0.00098 | $0.03835 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00049 | $0.01917 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00767 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00383 |
Grade A, and why
sympy 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 9d 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.
This is a copy
98% identical to sympy — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

SymPy - Symbolic Mathematics in Python
Overview
SymPy is a Python library for symbolic mathematics that enables exact computation using mathematical symbols rather than numerical approximations. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for performing symbolic algebra, calculus, linear algebra, equation solving, physics calculations, and code generation using SymPy.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Solving equations symbolically (algebraic, differential, systems of equations)
- Performing calculus operations (derivatives, integrals, limits, series)
- Manipulating and simplifying algebraic expressions
- Working with matrices and linear algebra symbolically
- Doing physics calculations (mechanics, quantum mechanics, vector analysis)
- Number theory computations (primes, factorization, modular arithmetic)
- Geometric calculations (2D/3D geometry, analytic geometry)
- Converting mathematical expressions to executable code (Python, C, Fortran)
- Generating LaTeX or other formatted mathematical output
- Needing exact mathematical results (e.g.,
sqrt(2)not1.414...)
Core Capabilities
1. Symbolic Computation Basics
Creating symbols and expressions:
from sympy import symbols, Symbol
x, y, z = symbols('x y z')
expr = x**2 + 2*x + 1
# With assumptions
x = symbols('x', real=True, positive=True)
n = symbols('n', integer=True)
Simplification and manipulation:
from sympy import simplify, expand, factor, cancel
simplify(sin(x)**2 + cos(x)**2) # Returns 1
expand((x + 1)**3) # x**3 + 3*x**2 + 3*x + 1
factor(x**2 - 1) # (x - 1)*(x + 1)
For detailed basics: See references/core-capabilities.md
2. Calculus
Derivatives:
from sympy import diff
diff(x**2, x) # 2*x
diff(x**4, x, 3) # 24*x (third derivative)
diff(x**2*y**3, x, y) # 6*x*y**2 (partial derivatives)
Integrals:
from sympy import integrate, oo
integrate(x**2, x) # x**3/3 (indefinite)
integrate(x**2, (x, 0, 1)) # 1/3 (definite)
integrate(exp(-x), (x, 0, oo)) # 1 (improper)
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

sympy is a skill published in the GitHub repository crazymsn/academic-skills (22 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 3,835 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to sympy, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
