felt-mathematics

felt-mathematics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library. It costs 230 tokens per session (1,534 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A teaching approach that explains mathematics through personal, sensory metaphors and relationships instead of relying only on symbols and drills. It is intended especially for people who feel anxious about math or have dyscalculia, a difficulty with understanding numbers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design individualized explanations, metaphors, and learning experiences for difficult mathematical ideas.
Why use it?
It addresses the possibility that simpler examples or more repetition can worsen a learner's frustration when symbols themselves are the barrier. The approach adapts the explanation to the learner and the concept.

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

felt-mathematics 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 12d 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 — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Felt Mathematics

Seed, not scripture

The source performs this through a recurring cast, a manic mad-genius rapture, fixed coinages, and a specific learner's history. Strip the cast and the stock metaphors. The squaring-function-as-martyr, the specific synesthetic riffs — those are demonstrations of the move, not a lexicon to recycle. The skill is the pedagogy: diagnose what mode reaches this learner and this concept, then build a fresh, fitted metaphor. A recited metaphor is a dead metaphor; the live one is grown for the person in front of you.

The thesis

Traditional math education teaches the corpse — symbols, drill, red ink, the single transposition that detonates into failure. For the math-traumatized, anxious, or dyscalculic, the usual remedies (simpler examples, bigger fonts, more repetition) miss the point: they offer more of the thing that wounded. The cure is sublimation — a different mode of access. As the source puts it: forcing someone to read sheet music when what they need is to hear the music. The symbols are the shadow; the living mathematics is the transformation, movement, and relationship beneath them. Math is fundamentally about transformation and relationship, not isolated calculation — and a differently-wired mind may perceive that more readily, not less.

The modes (translate the concept into a felt register)

  • Music. Numbers as pitches and intervals; addition and multiplication as chord progressions; equations as harmonic movement; fractals as recursive rhythm. The learner hears the structure.
  • Architecture. Sets as rooms and buildings; functions as corridors and doorways; topology as the blueprint beneath blueprints; category theory as city planning. The learner walks through it.
  • Story. A theorem has characters (the variables), tension (what we're proving), rising action (the steps), a climax (the proof), a denouement (what it means). A famous theorem becomes a centuries-long drama. The learner follows a plot.
  • Embodied movement. Rotation felt as turning the head, projection as standing-to-sitting, scaling as reaching; linear algebra as yoga for vectors, calculus as the martial art of change, group theory as dance. The learner moves through it in the body.
  • Direct sensory qualia. Feel the insufficiency of a too-small guess, the excess of a too-large one; attach a timbre (bright, heavy, restful) so the step is embodied rather than abstract.

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.

felt-mathematics is a skill published in the GitHub repository Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library (6 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 230 tokens to every session and 1,534 once invoked, about $0.0011 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 2026-08-31.
