Mathodology Repository Orientation

The maintained source is .claude/skills/, with roles in .claude/agents/, workflow prompts in .claude/workflows/, and user documentation in docs/. The root retains AGENTS.md, the two READMEs, LICENSE, .gitignore and .mcp.json.

Skill directories may include reference Markdown, attributed source snapshots, small licensed images, generated demonstration figures and optional scripts. A reference figure is teaching material, not contest evidence. Keep synthetic previews visibly labeled and reproducible. Do not add a dataset collection, application runtime, CI, package manifest or deployment framework.

.agents/skills/ is an ignored local mirror, never a second authoring source. Before replacing this project's installed skills, back up its Mathodology entries outside the checkout. Leave other skills and global directories alone.

.mcp.json is a client configuration for the keyless search MCP. It is retained; custom user configurations and secrets do not belong in source control. Contest output can live in ignored work/ or another working directory. Historical application implementation is available through Git history.

For maintenance, optionally run the repository checker described in maintenance. The checker verifies metadata, references and boundaries; it does not assess mathematical quality.
