/math - Unified Math Capabilities
One entry point for all computation and explanation. I route to the right tool based on your request.
For formal proofs, use /prove instead.

Routing Logic
I decide based on your request:
"solve/calculate/compute" → SymPy (exact symbolic)
"is X always true?" → Z3 (constraint proving)
"convert units" → Pint
"explain/what is" → Topic skill for context
"prove formally" → Redirect to /prove
Examples
Solve Equation
User: Solve x² - 5x + 6 = 0
Claude: uv run python "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/scripts/cc_math/sympy_compute.py" solve "x**2 - 5*x + 6" --var x
Result: x = 2 or x = 3
Compute Eigenvalues
User: Find eigenvalues of [[2, 1], [1, 2]]
Claude: uv run python "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/scripts/cc_math/sympy_compute.py" eigenvalues "[[2,1],[1,2]]"
Result: {1: 1, 3: 1} (eigenvalue 1 with multiplicity 1, eigenvalue 3 with multiplicity 1)
Prove Inequality
User: Is x² + y² ≥ 2xy always true?
Claude: uv run python "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/scripts/cc_math/z3_solve.py" prove "x**2 + y**2 >= 2*x*y"
Result: PROVED (equivalent to (x-y)² ≥ 0)
Convert Units
User: How many kilometers in 26.2 miles?
Claude: uv run python "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/scripts/cc_math/pint_compute.py" convert 26.2 miles kilometers
Result: 42.16 km
When to Use /prove Instead
Use /prove when you need:
- Machine-verified formal proof (Lean 4)
- Category theory proofs (functors, Yoneda, etc.)
- Publication-quality verification
- Abstract algebra proofs
/math is for computation. /prove is for verification.
