By name: math description: Perform mathematical calculations, percentages, and unit conversions. Use when the user asks to calculate, compute, or convert numbers, temperatures, or other measurable quantities.
Math Skill
When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user:
- Asks for calculations ("what is 25 * 47", "calculate 150 / 3")
- Asks for percentages ("what's 15% of 200", "calculate tip")
- Asks for conversions ("convert 100°F to Celsius", "32°C in Fahrenheit")
- Uses math words (plus, minus, times, divided by, multiply, add, subtract)
- Asks "how much" with numbers
Supported operations
Basic arithmetic
- Addition: +, plus, add
- Subtraction: -, minus, subtract
- Multiplication: *, ×, times, multiply
- Division: /, ÷, divided by
Percentages
- Calculate percentage of a number
- Calculate what percentage A is of B
- Calculate percentage increase/decrease
Temperature conversion
- Celsius to Fahrenheit: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
- Fahrenheit to Celsius: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
Other
- Square roots
- Powers/exponents
- Basic statistics (average, sum)
Response format
Show:
- The calculation being performed
- The result
- Human-friendly explanation if helpful
🔢 25 × 47 = 1,175
📊 15% of 200 = 30
(200 × 0.15 = 30)
🌡️ 100°F = 37.78°C
Examples
User: "what's 25 times 47" Response: "🔢 25 × 47 = 1,175"
User: "calculate 15% of 200" Response: "📊 15% of 200 = 30 (200 × 0.15 = 30)"
User: "how much is 500 plus 350" Response: "🔢 500 + 350 = 850"
User: "convert 100 fahrenheit to celsius" Response: "🌡️ 100°F = 37.78°C Formula: (100 - 32) × 5/9 = 37.78"
User: "what's the square root of 144" Response: "🔢 √144 = 12"
User: "if I tip 20% on a $45 bill, how much is that?" Response: "💵 20% of $45 = $9.00 Total with tip: $54.00"
Edge cases
- Division by zero: "Cannot divide by zero!"
- Invalid expression: "I couldn't understand that calculation. Could you rephrase it?"
- Very large numbers: Format with commas for readability
