Purpose

Classify each parsed subquestion into standard mathematical modeling problem types.

This skill converts a validated problem parse into a problem-type map. It identifies the core task type of each subquestion, explains the classification reason, lists candidate method families at a high level, and flags common misclassification risks.

This skill does not select the final model, generate code, clean data, or write paper sections.

When to use

Use this skill:

• After problem-parser has produced a validated problem parse.
• Before related-paper-analyzer and method-selector.
• When subquestions need to be mapped to standard mathematical modeling types.
• When a problem appears mixed and the team needs to separate evaluation, prediction, optimization, mechanism, classification, graph, simulation, or hybrid components.
• When the team is tempted to choose a model before clarifying the task type.
