About mathodology-whole-project
A skills pack for modeling and research tasks that helps turn problems into justified models, reproducible results, and clear scientific communication. It provides prompts and supporting materials, not an application or execution engine.

- 04Provides figure presets and evidence search
- 05Supports skill backup and installation
Use cases
- 01Turn a research question into a justified model
- 02Continue modeling from existing evidence
- 03Prepare figures and supporting evidence
- 04Back up or update a skills installation

Details
From the project READMEMathodology 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
Read the problem, available data, existing results and applicable contest rules. Ask about missing constraints that would change the answer. Reuse established preferences and continue from the current evidence. Keep a short note of important assumptions and decisions if it helps continuity; no special schema is needed.
Work in the user's chosen directory or an ignored work/ directory in this
checkout. Produce only artifacts needed for the requested deliverable. Keep
numerical results traceable. Use specialists where they help and the host allows
it; an independent review can challenge important claims without fixed panels.
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:
bash .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.
