math-model-selector

math-model-selector is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills. It costs 14 tokens per session (762 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of math-model-selector, Apache-2.0.

A guide for choosing the mathematical framework that best matches a problem. It asks about the quantity being studied, how it changes, uncertainty, and whether something is being optimized.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify a problem, decide which mathematical tools to investigate, and turn an informal question into a more precise model.
Why use it?
It helps avoid using an unsuitable method when a problem could be modeled with statistics, differential equations, probability, optimization, or another field.

About the project

Vibe-Skills is a collection and routing system that helps AI agents discover, select, and coordinate specialized skills for completing tasks. It is intended for agents that need to organize workflows across many installed capabilities. The catalogue entries are skills and an agent belonging to this system.

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-model-selector 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.

Math Model Selector

When to Use

Trigger on phrases like:

  • "what math should I use"
  • "which mathematical framework"
  • "how do I model this"
  • "what kind of problem is this"
  • "formalize this problem"

Use when user has a problem but doesn't know which mathematical domain applies.

Process

Guide user through decision tree using Polya-style questions:

1. Identify the quantity

Ask: "What quantity or phenomenon are you trying to understand?"

  • Physics problem -> conservation laws, differential equations
  • Economics -> equilibrium, optimization
  • Data patterns -> statistics, regression

2. Characterize change

Ask: "What changes, and how does it change?"

  • Discrete steps -> difference equations, recurrences
  • Continuous rate -> ODEs
  • Rate of rate matters -> 2nd order ODEs
  • Spatial variation -> PDEs

3. Check for uncertainty

Ask: "Is there randomness or uncertainty involved?"

  • Deterministic -> standard analysis
  • Epistemic uncertainty -> Bayesian methods
  • Random process -> probability theory, stochastic processes

4. Optimization check

Ask: "Are you optimizing something?"

  • Convex objective -> linear/quadratic programming
  • Non-convex -> gradient descent, evolutionary methods
  • Discrete choices -> combinatorics, integer programming

5. Answer precision

Ask: "What level of answer do you need?"

  • Rough estimate -> dimensional analysis
  • Qualitative behavior -> phase portraits, stability
  • Numerical answer -> simulation
  • Exact closed form -> analytical methods

Key Questions to Ask

  1. What changes? (discrete vs continuous)
  2. What causes the change? (rate dependencies)
  3. What's random? (uncertainty type)
  4. What's being optimized? (objective function)
  5. How precise? (qualitative vs quantitative)

Output Format

Framework Recommendation:
- Primary: [framework name]
- Why: [one-sentence justification]

Starting Point:
- Key equations: [relevant formulas]
- Initial approach: [first step]

Tools to Use:
- [specific script or computation tool]

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.
