Mathodology Modeling Companion
Mathodology helps turn a problem into a justified model, reproducible results and clear scientific communication. It is a skills pack, not an application or an execution engine. Use modeling prompts as a flexible guide. For figures use figure presets, including its image2 availability question. For evidence use evidence search.
Start or resume a modeling task
Work in the user's chosen directory or an ignored work/ directory in this
checkout. Produce only artifacts needed for the requested deliverable and keep
numerical results traceable. Use specialists where they help and the host allows
it.
Maintain and distribute
The maintained source is .claude/skills/. Claude Code roles and workflow prompts
are adjacent. Codex may use an installed .agents/skills/ mirror. Back up this
project's mirror before updating its Mathodology entries. Do not modify unrelated
skills, project instructions, custom MCP settings or global configuration.
For installation in other projects, use the standard skills CLI; for a clean
repository checkout, use git pull --ff-only. Resolve local edits before updating;
do not reset them. Installation details are in the repository's docs/INSTALL.md.
A skills-only global install does not install project roles or MCP settings.
The optional backup utility saves skills, references and repository docs, including local uncommitted source changes:
bashbash .claude/skills/mathodology-whole-project/scripts/create-source-backup.sh
It excludes the ignored Codex mirror, contest outputs and Git history. Back those up separately when needed. Extract a backup into an empty directory and verify its checksum before replacing an installation. No application build is required.
