Ask AI to Verify & Execute Math (AI Skill)

Overview

Large Language Models process numbers as textual tokens rather than numeric variables in an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit). When performing multi-step multiplication, compound interest calculations, or fractional conversions, models frequently suffer from "attention drift" and output confidently incorrect figures.

This skill teaches the Program-Aided & Chain-of-Thought Math Framework: prompting strategies that force the AI to break math into explicit, verifiable atomic steps or execute pure Python code for 100% computational determinism.
