Solve Math Rigorously

Overview

This skill is solver-first. Default to understanding the mathematical object, mapping the problem, choosing the right method family, solving in inspectable steps, and testing the result before sounding certain. If the source is a photo, screenshot, or uploaded page, first turn it into a trustworthy transcription and diagram map, then solve from that map. Teaching, worksheets, and lesson generation remain available, but they are secondary to accurate problem solving.

Claude-First Usage

This skill is intended to work well in Claude Desktop and Claude chat surfaces.

• Treat uploaded images and PDFs as first-class inputs.
• Prefer Claude's native multimodal reading first.
• Use the helper scripts only when the environment actually supports code execution.
• If code execution is unavailable, do not block on tooling. Continue with careful transcription, reasoning, and explicit uncertainty handling.

Read references/claude-surface-playbook.md before assuming tools or file-system access.
