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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00024 | $0.01687 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00675 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00337 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00169 |
Grade A, and why
mathodology-evidence-search 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 141 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Mathodology Evidence Search
Use evidence to support a claim or model choice. Prefer primary work and official data. Mark assumptions and unresolved gaps; never fill them with invented facts.
Search and read
Inspect available tools. Normally combine built-in WebSearch with
mcp__search__search: complementary discovery queries can find different sources.
Record which channels actually contributed. If a channel is unavailable, continue
with the working one and note the coverage limitation; an unavailable search is
not evidence that a source does not exist. With no search, work from supplied
material and state which external claims remain unverified.
The project .mcp.json registers the keyless
free-search-mcp server and a staged
download directory. Tool signatures vary by installed version: read the live
schema instead of assuming the argument names in an old example.
| Capability | Appropriate use |
|---|---|
| search / research | Focused discovery / an open research question |
| cache_search | Reuse material already read |
| fetch / fetch_batch | Read shortlisted web pages |
| read_doc | Read PDF and structured or office documents, with pagination |
| extract_structured | Confirm publisher metadata such as DOI and title |
| compare | Reconcile conflicting sources or definitions |
| paper_graph | Explore prior work and check available correction/retraction notices |
| download | Retain a file needed for reproduction or a licensed reference |
| engines | Diagnose thin results or unavailable sources |
Use the narrowest category the live tool exposes. Typical groups include paper
(with index, preprint, biomed, cs, openaccess, trial and math subgroups), dataset
(repository, ml, gov), news, finance, github, forum and image. Subgroup
availability depends on the server. A general web domain filter is not equivalent
to a bibliographic search.
Retrieve before writing: find and read a source before drafting the sentence that cites it. A reference recalled from memory is a lead to check, not a citation. Merge results by DOI or canonical URL. Read an accepted source once, using the appropriate reader. When sources disagree, cite both, prefer the official or primary record, and record why the adopted value fits the model.
What ships with it
3 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.

mathodology-evidence-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository sweetcornna/mathodology (320 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,687 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
