What it does

Evaluate mathematical expressions and unit conversions. Handles arithmetic, percentages, exponents, and common unit conversions (temperature, distance, weight). No external dependencies.

Calculator

Evaluate math expressions and perform unit conversions from the command line.

Purpose

Provide a safe, sandboxed calculator for arithmetic expressions and common unit conversions without relying on eval() or external services.

Agent Instructions

  1. Read this SKILL.md to understand capabilities.
  2. Run scripts/calc.py with the user's expression or conversion.
  3. Return the computed result to the user.

Examples

Usage

# Arithmetic expressions
python scripts/calc.py "2 + 3 * 4"
python scripts/calc.py "(100 - 25) / 3"
python scripts/calc.py "2 ** 10"

# Percentage calculations
python scripts/calc.py "15% of 200"

# Unit conversions
python scripts/calc.py "100 celsius to fahrenheit"
python scripts/calc.py "5 miles to km"
python scripts/calc.py "10 kg to lbs"

Output

A single line with the result, e.g.:

Result: 14

For conversions:

100 celsius = 212.0 fahrenheit

Limitations

  • No symbolic algebra (no variables, no equations).
  • Only supports basic arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, **, %, parentheses.
  • Unit conversions are limited to: celsius/fahrenheit, miles/km, kg/lbs, meters/feet.

Troubleshooting

ProblemFix
Invalid expressionCheck for unsupported operators or variables
Unknown conversionUse supported units: celsius, fahrenheit, miles, km, kg, lbs, meters, feet
