Your AI Sucks at Math. Fix It With One Command.

An open-source tool called Math.skill enables AI agents to mathematically verify their own work, addressing the common problem of large language models producing confident but incorrect answers. The system employs a seven-step pipeline that runs at least two of 11 independent verification methods on every solution, blocking unverified answers and automatically correcting errors. The tool covers 25 mathematical categories from arithmetic to abstract algebra, with each category receiving its own verification protocol and error-checking checklist.

You've seen this before. You ask your AI agent: "Find ∫ x·e^x dx" It confidently replies: e^x + C , complete with a plausible-looking derivation. You nod. Then you check — the correct answer is x−1 ·e^x + C . It was wrong by a mile, and you almost shipped it.This is the fundamental problem with AI math today: LLMs can talk, but they can't verify their own work. They sound convincing while being catastrophically wrong. And the more complex the problem, the better the hallucination. Math.skill changes that. It's an open-source mathematical reasoning skill for AI agents — install it, and your agent stops guessing and starts verifying. | Typical AI Math Plugin | Math.skill | | |---|---|---| Workflow | Prompt → LLM → answer | Prompt → 7-step pipeline → ≥2 verifications → answer | Verification | None | Answer blocked if verification fails | Open problems | Might hallucinate a "solution" | Honestly says "this is unsolved" | Error recovery | No mechanism | Auto-backtrack, fix, recompute, re-verify | The core differentiator: a verification engine that runs at least 2 of 11 independent checks on every answer. No answer leaves the pipeline unverified. Period. Every problem flows through this: | Step | What Happens | Why It Matters | |---|---|---| 1. Parse | Extract conditions, goals, variables, implicit domain constraints | Catches misread problems before they waste your time | 2. Model | Build formal representation: equation, function, matrix, probability space, etc. | Prevents building the wrong mathematical structure | 3. Select | Choose the optimal method from 30+ strategies | Avoids brute-forcing when elegance exists | 4. Solve | Step-by-step with mathematical justification at every transformation | Full traceability — nothing hidden | 5. Verify | Apply ≥2 of 11 independent verification methods | The differentiator — catches what LLMs miss | 6. Correct | If verification fails: backtrack to last known-good step, fix, recompute, re-verify | No "doubling down" on wrong answers | 7. Deliver | Exact answer not approximate , domain conditions, verification summary | You know it's right, and you know why | This is the heart of Math.skill. Each method catches a different class of errors: | ID | Method | What It Catches | |---|---|---| A | Back-substitution | Extraneous roots, sign errors — plug the answer back in | B | Domain check | Division by zero, negative radicands, log 0 , arcsin 2 | C | Boundary analysis | Missed interval endpoints, parameter edge cases | D | Reverse derivation | Irreversible step errors — work backwards from answer | E | Numerical sampling | Coefficient drift, off-by-factor — test with specific values | F | Dimensional analysis | Unit mismatches, P 1, variance < 0 | G | Limits & special cases | Degenerate behavior as parameters approach 0 or ∞ | H | Cross-validation | Solve with a completely different independent method | I | Counterexample search | Disprove false universal claims by construction | J | Formal logic check | ∀∃ order errors, necessary vs. sufficient, circular reasoning | K | Computational consistency | det A−λI = 0, total probability = 1, trace = sum of eigenvalues | At least two methods per problem. The engine selects which ones based on the problem type. You don't have to think about it — it just works. Math.skill covers everything from arithmetic to abstract algebra. Each category has its own verification protocol and common-error checklist: Arithmetic · Algebra · Equations/Inequalities · Functions Geometry · Trigonometry · Sequences · Combinatorics Probability/Statistics · Limits · Differentiation · Integration Multivariable Calculus · Linear Algebra · ODEs Complex Analysis · Real Analysis · Abstract Algebra Topology · Number Theory · Discrete Math · Optimization Mathematical Modeling · Proofs · Counterexamples Solution Checking · Problem Generation · Research-Level Problems Not a one-size-fits-all. Each category gets targeted handling. Ask it to "prove the Riemann Hypothesis" and you won't get a hallucinated Nobel-worthy breakthrough. You'll get: "This is a known open problem. Here's what I can provide: partial results, known bounds, and why this remains unsolved." Honesty is the baseline. If a problem is open, it says so. If it can only give partial results, it clearly labels what's proven vs. conjectured. The most common AI math failures are blocked before they happen: +C .
