Conservatively proofread mathematical prose and LaTeX for grammar, typography, syntax, notation consistency, cross-references, and uniquely forced local mathematical typos. Use for explicit math-proofreading requests and final self-review of theorem-, proof-, or equation-heavy edits. Not for correctness audits, referee reports, or source verification.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/nidrissi/mathbox /tmp/mathbox && ln -s /tmp/mathbox/skills/proofread-math ~/.claude/skills/proofread-math
```

## From README

Conservative mathematical proofreading Proofread; do not invent, replace, shorten or substantively repair proofs. Preserve the mathematics, notation, macros, authorial voice, language variant, and project conventions. Select the mode Edit mode: the caller explicitly asks to correct a file or pasted text. Review-only mode: the caller asks for findings, comments, or a check without edits. Self-review mode: invoked after a broader edit; inspect only the changed hunks and enough context to resolve notation, references, and prose. Correct routine issues only inside changed hunks; report issues elsewhere. When corrections are not explicitly requested, default to review-only mode. For pasted LaTeX in edit mode, return corrected LaTeX. For repository files, do not rewrite unrelated text. If coverage is partial, state the exact scope reviewed. Workflow Read applicable instructions, nearby definitions/statements, macros, labels, and neighboring prose needed to judge the scope.
