Install

npx skillmds@latest add plugin:brycewang-stanford/annals-of-mathematics-skills

One command, no setup. In Claude Code it lands as a managed plugin you can enable, disable or remove with /plugin. On any other agent it installs the 12 skills into that agent's own folder.

Or inside Claude Code

In the Plugins tab, add this marketplace:

skillmds/skillmd
/plugin install brycewang-stanford-annals-of-mathematics-skills@skillmd

Adds the marketplace once; later plugins need the second line only.

Or install by hand

Download the plugin and unzip its skills/ folder into your agent's skills directory. Works with every agent, no CLI needed.

Skills in this plugin

▌
Anmath Figures · brycewang-stanford
Use when organizing the exposition and structure of a pure-mathematics manuscript for Annals of Mathematics — sectioning, notation, statements-before-proofs, commutative diagrams, and readability for an expert non-specialist. Figures are optional and rare; this skill is about exposition first. Does not assess the proof's correctness.

▌
Anmath Methods · brycewang-stanford
Use when laying out the proof strategy of a pure-mathematics manuscript for Annals of Mathematics — the architecture of the argument, the key lemmas and propositions, the novel technique, and where the difficulty lies. Designs and exposes the proof plan; does not check final correctness line-by-line (see anmath-referee-strategy).

▌
Anmath Revision · brycewang-stanford
Use when responding to an Annals of Mathematics referee report — revising the manuscript to close gaps or strengthen results and writing a point-by-point reply. Drafts the revision and response after the text is fixed; does not invent significance the result lacks (see anmath-scope-fit).

▌
Anmath Workflow · brycewang-stanford
Use when deciding which anmath-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing work on a pure-mathematics manuscript from scope check through major revision for an Annals of Mathematics submission. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.

▌
Anmath Scope Fit · brycewang-stanford
Use when judging whether a pure-mathematics result clears the Annals of Mathematics importance and originality bar and falls within scope, before investing in framing or submission. Assesses fit and significance; does not evaluate whether the proof is correct (that is the proof's job).

▌
Anmath Submission · brycewang-stanford bundle
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for an Annals of Mathematics manuscript — AMS-LaTeX compile, theorem environments, abstract and MSC, references, arXiv, figures, and portal logistics. Checks readiness; does not assess significance (anmath-scope-fit) or correctness (anmath-referee-strategy).

▌
Anmath Cover Letter · brycewang-stanford
Use when drafting the cover note to the editors for an Annals of Mathematics submission — concisely conveying the main result, its significance, scope fit, and any priority/overlap disclosures. Frames the submission; does not write the paper. Verify whether a cover letter is requested on the official submission page.

▌
Anmath Supplementary · brycewang-stanford
Use when deciding what belongs in appendices versus the main text of a pure-mathematics manuscript for Annals of Mathematics — technical/auxiliary results, long computations, and machine-assisted computation. Math journals generally have no science-style "supplemental material"; everything essential stays in the main text.

▌
Anmath Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
Use when polishing the prose and rigor of a pure-mathematics manuscript for Annals of Mathematics — eliminating gaps, removing "clearly"/"it is easy to see", precise quantifiers, and consistent mathematical English. Late-stage polish; run only after the proof and architecture are fixed.

▌
Anmath Results Framing · brycewang-stanford
Use when stating the main theorem(s) of a pure-mathematics manuscript precisely, establishing their significance, and positioning them against prior work for an Annals of Mathematics submission. Crafts statements and positioning; does not write the proof (see anmath-methods).

1k repo stars
▌
Anmath Referee Strategy · brycewang-stanford
Use when anticipating how an expert Annals of Mathematics referee will verify a proof — stress-testing the argument for gaps, checking external dependencies, and pre-empting the questions a careful reader will ask. Hardens the manuscript before submission; does not write the rebuttal (anmath-revision).

▌
Anmath Length Management · brycewang-stanford
Use when controlling the length of a pure-mathematics manuscript for Annals of Mathematics — math papers may be long, but every section must be necessary; this skill cuts bloat and padding while keeping the proof complete and gap-free. Late-stage; run after the proof and architecture are fixed.
