What Math Olympiad is

A skill for competition math that avoids biased self-verification. Verifiers see only the clean proof, not the reasoning trace. It abstains rather than bluffs.

Where Math Olympiad runs and what it adds, from its documentation
  • Context-isolated verification of proofs
  • Pattern-armed adversarial checks
  • Calibrated abstention instead of bluffing
  • Presentation pass producing LaTeX/PDF after verification

When to use it

Good fit

  • Solving IMO, Putnam or USAMO style problems
  • Verifying a proof

Not for

  • Questions that need confident answers on every problem; it may report no confident solution

How to install Math Olympiad

You need: Claude Code

  1. Run Claude Code
  2. Run /plugin install math-olympiad@claude-plugins-official
  3. Ask: Solve this IMO problem: [statement]
  4. The skill also triggers on 'olympiad', 'Putnam', 'verify this proof'

Limitations

  • README claims 17/18 IMO+Putnam 2025 problems solved; evaluation data is in a separate repo
