derive-theoretical-result

derive-theoretical-result is a skill for Claude Code from pjt222/agent-almanac. It costs 86 tokens per session (2,864 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A rigorous method for deriving a mathematical or theoretical result from axioms, first principles, or previously proven theorems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to derive formulas, prove theorems, verify textbook results, extend known results, or prepare self-contained technical explanations.
Why use it?
It makes each algebraic or logical step explicit and checks special cases, reducing gaps or hidden assumptions in a proof.

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

derive-theoretical-result 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.

Derive Theoretical Result

Produce a rigorous, step-by-step derivation of a theoretical result starting from stated axioms, first principles, or established theorems. Every algebraic or logical step is explicitly justified, limiting cases are verified, and the final result is presented with a complete notation glossary.

When to Use

  • Deriving a formula, relation, or theorem from first principles (e.g., deriving the Euler-Lagrange equation from the action principle)
  • Proving a mathematical statement by logical deduction from axioms
  • Re-deriving a textbook result to verify it or adapt it to a modified context
  • Extending a known result to a more general setting (e.g., from flat spacetime to curved spacetime)
  • Producing a self-contained derivation for a paper, thesis, or technical report

Inputs

  • Required: Target result to derive (equation, inequality, theorem statement, or relation)
  • Required: Starting point (axioms, postulates, previously established results, or Lagrangian/Hamiltonian)
  • Optional: Preferred proof technique (direct, by contradiction, by induction, variational, constructive)
  • Optional: Notation conventions to follow (if matching a specific textbook or collaborator's conventions)
  • Optional: Known intermediate results that may be cited without re-derivation

Procedure

Step 1: State Starting Assumptions and Target Result

Write the derivation's contract explicitly before any calculation:

  1. Axioms and postulates: List every assumption the derivation rests on. For physics, this includes the symmetry group, the action principle, or the postulates of quantum mechanics. For mathematics, this includes the axiom system and any previously proven lemmas.
  2. Target result: State the result to be derived in precise mathematical notation. If the result is an equation, write both sides. If it is an inequality, state the direction and the conditions for equality.
  3. Scope and restrictions: State the domain of validity (e.g., "valid for non-relativistic, spinless particles in three dimensions"). Identify what the derivation does not cover.
  4. Notation declaration: Define every symbol that will appear. This prevents ambiguity and makes the derivation self-contained.

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.

derive-theoretical-result is a skill published in the GitHub repository pjt222/agent-almanac (33 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 2,864 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
