symbolic-computation-sympy

symbolic-computation-sympy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hamzabellouch/agent-skills. It costs 65 tokens per session (458 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for using SymPy, a Python library that performs exact symbolic mathematics. It covers algebra, calculus, equations, matrices, differential equations, series, LaTeX output, and checking results.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps simplify, factor, differentiate, integrate, and solve expressions and equations, including systems and ordinary differential equations. It can also produce LaTeX, test identities with sample values, and compare symbolic results numerically.
Why use it?
Hand calculations can be lengthy and error-prone, while decimal calculations can hide exact relationships. Symbolic computation keeps expressions exact and can check a hand-derived result.

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

symbolic-computation-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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/sympy_tools.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Symbolic Computation with SymPy

When to use

Exact simplification, factoring, limits, derivatives, integrals, series, equation systems, ODE solutions, matrix operations; verifying human derivations; generating LaTeX.

Quick reference

import sympy as sp
x, y, t = sp.symbols('x y t', real=True)
sp.simplify(expr); sp.expand(expr); sp.factor(expr); sp.apart(expr); sp.together(expr)
sp.diff(f, x, 2); sp.integrate(f, (x, 0, sp.oo)); sp.limit(f, x, 0)
sp.series(f, x, 0, 6); sp.solve(sp.Eq(a, b), x); sp.nsolve(eq, x, 1.0)
sp.dsolve(sp.Eq(y(t).diff(t, 2) + y(t), 0), y(t))
M = sp.Matrix([[1, 2], [3, 4]]); M.eigenvects(); M.det(); M.inv(); M.jordan_form()
sp.latex(expr); sp.lambdify(x, f, 'numpy')
  • Declare assumptions (positive=True, integer=True) for correct simplification.
  • Use rational numbers (sp.Rational(1,3)) not floats for exact results.
  • Cross-check symbolic results numerically with random inputs.

Script

scripts/sympy_tools.py includes: verify_identity (random-point testing + simplify), solve_and_check, taylor_error_bound, and a demo.

Pitfalls

simplify may not reach the form you want (try trigsimp, radsimp, powsimp); integrate can fail or return piecewise results; sqrt branch and absolute value issues for complex inputs; timeouts on huge expressions (use series, numerical fallback).

Files

What ships with it

2 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.

Changes

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.

symbolic-computation-sympy is a skill published in the GitHub repository hamzabellouch/agent-skills (8 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 458 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-17.
