mathodology-evidence-search

mathodology-evidence-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sweetcornna/mathodology. It costs 24 tokens per session (906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for finding and verifying outside evidence such as research papers, datasets, benchmarks, domain constants, and prior work. It also covers reading documents and confirming citations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find sources, investigate open questions, read PDFs or data files, compare candidate sources, and document repeatable evidence-gathering work.
Why use it?
It makes external claims traceable to a source, calculation, or clearly stated assumption instead of relying on improvised searches.

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

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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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. Do not silently treat a blocked engine as an empty corpus.

What ships with it

1 file 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.
