SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Research notes often contain scattered equations, mixed approximations, and unclear assumptions that cannot be turned into a coherent theory line. This Skill organizes them into an honest derivation package instead of a fake polished theorem story. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Derivation Structuring: Freezes the target, chooses an invariant object, normalizes assumptions and notation, and builds a derivation map before writing. - Honest Step Classification: Labels every step as identity, proposition, approximation, or interpretation, and marks gaps in an Open Risks section. - Status Reporting: Outputs COHERENT AS STATED, COHERENT AFTER REFRAMING, or NOT YET COHERENT with a blocker report when the notes cannot support a derivation. - Use Case: You have messy theory notes mixing exact algebra and heuristics. The Skill rewrites them into a DERIVATION_PACKAGE.md with target, assumptions, derivation map, main steps, and boundaries ready for paper drafting. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to turn your current formula notes into a coherent derivation package targeting DERIVATION_PACKAGE.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn messy research notes into a coherent formula derivation?

Provide your current formulas, notes, or draft and state the target. The Skill freezes the goal, picks an invariant object, normalizes assumptions and notation, then writes a structured derivation package with a derivation map and labeled steps.

When should I use formula derivation versus writing a proof?

Use formula derivation when the target, object, or assumptions are still unsettled and you need a coherent theory line. Use a proof-writing skill only after the exact claim, assumptions, and notation are fixed and rigorous proof or refutation is the goal.

What output file does the derivation package get written to?

By default it writes to DERIVATION_PACKAGE.md in the project root. If you specify a file path or reference an existing derivation draft, that file is read and updated instead of duplicating content.

What happens if my notes cannot support a coherent derivation?

The Skill marks the status as NOT YET COHERENT and writes a blocker report naming the exact issue, such as a missing object, unstable assumptions, or unsupported approximation, plus what reframe or extra assumption would be needed.

Does it write directly into paper or LaTeX appendix files?

No. It writes to the derivation package file by default and only edits paper sections or .tex appendix files when you explicitly request that target.
