Formal mathematical reasoning for research papers — derive equations, write proofs, formalize problem settings, select statistical tests, and generate LaTeX math notation. Use when the user needs mathematical derivations, theorem proofs, notation tables, or statistical analysis formalization.

What this skill does

# Mathematical Reasoning

Perform rigorous mathematical reasoning and produce publication-quality LaTeX output.

## Input

- `$0` — Task type: `derive`, `prove`, `formalize`, `stats`, `notation`, `verify`
- `$1` — Context: equation, theorem statement, problem description, or data description

## Tasks

### `derive` — Step-by-step equation derivation
Show every intermediate step. Justify each with the rule applied. Box final result with `\boxed{}`. Number important equations with `\label{eq:name}`.

### `prove` — Formal theorem proof
Use appropriate technique: direct, contradiction, induction, construction, or cases. See `references/proof-templates.md` for LaTeX templates.

### `formalize` — Problem setting formalization
Convert informal description into formal mathematical framework with: variable definitions, domain/range specifications, assumptions, objective function.

### `stats` — Statistical test selection
Use the decision tree in `references/notation-guide.md` to select appropriate tests. Report p-values, effect sizes, confidence intervals.

### `notation` — Generate notation table
Create a `\begin{table}` with all symbols used in the paper. Use standard ML notation from `references/notation-guide.md`.

### `verify` — Check mathematical correctness
Verify: dimensional consistency, boundary cases, gradient computations, notation consistency across sections.

## References

- Standard ML notation + statistical tests: `~/.claude/skills/math-reasoning/references/notation-guide.md`
- Proof templates and theorem environments: `~/.claude/skills/math-reasoning/references/proof-templates.md`

## Rules

- Define ALL symbols before first use: "Let $\mathcal{X}$ denote..."
- Use consistent notation throughout the paper
- Number equations that are referenced later
- Use `\tag{reason}` for key derivation steps
- State assumptions explicitly
- Cite lemmas and prior results used in proofs

venue-templates

Included

Access comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.

let-fate-decide

Included

Draws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
