sympy

sympy is a skill for Claude Code from dralkh/iktinah. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,963 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of sympy, MIT.

A Python library for exact symbolic mathematics, meaning it works with symbols and formulas instead of only decimal approximations. It supports algebra, calculus, equations, matrices, physics, and code generation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to solve equations, differentiate and integrate expressions, simplify formulas, perform symbolic linear algebra, and convert formulas into executable numerical code.
Why use it?
It prevents rounding from changing a result when an exact answer is needed and avoids manually manipulating complex formulas.

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

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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to sympy — 30 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.

Installation

Tested against SymPy 1.14.0 (stable; April 2025). Requires Python 3.9+.

# Install SymPy using uv
uv pip install "sympy>=1.14"

# Optional: for lambdify and plotting examples
uv pip install numpy scipy matplotlib

Check your version:

import sympy
print(sympy.__version__)

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) not 1.414...)

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)

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 dralkh/iktinah (77 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 3,963 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to sympy, differing in 30 lines, and is treated as a copy.
