Calculator

Evaluate arithmetic expressions with arbitrary-precision decimal math using big.js.

When to Use

  • User asks to calculate or evaluate a math expression
  • Precise decimal arithmetic is needed (avoids floating-point errors like 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.30000000000000004)
  • Expressions involve parentheses, operator precedence, or exponents

Supported Operations

Operator Description Precedence
+ Addition 1
- Subtraction 1
* Multiplication 2
/ Division 2
^ Exponent (right-associative) 3
() Parentheses Highest

Usage

bash
cd scripts
npm ci || npm install
npm run build
npm run calculate "<expression>"

Examples

Input Output
"3 + 2" 5
"10 / 4" 2.5
"2 ^ 10" 1024
"(2 + 3) * 4" 20
"1 + 4.5 * (3-6) / 5" -1.7
"-5 + 3" -2
"2 ^ 3 ^ 2" 512 (right-associative: 2^9)

Edge Cases

  • Empty expression: Throws "Empty expression" error
  • Mismatched parentheses: Throws "Mismatched parentheses" error
  • Division by zero: big.js throws an error
  • Exponent must be integer: big.js .pow() requires integer exponents

Limitations

  • No trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan)
  • No variables or symbolic math
  • Exponents must be integers
  • No factorial, modulo, or bitwise operators

az-cli

Use the Azure CLI (`az`) to manage Azure resources from the command line. Trigger this skill whenever the user asks to create, configure, manage, deploy, or interact with any Azure resource — even if they don't explicitly mention "az cli". Also trigger when the user asks about Azure CLI commands, syntax, or wants to know how to do something in Azure from the terminal.

azure-prices

Look up and compare Azure service pricing using the Azure Retail Prices API. Use this skill whenever the user asks about Azure costs, pricing, rates, or wants to compare prices across regions or services — even if they don't say "pricing" explicitly. Trigger for questions like "how much does a D2 v2 VM cost?", "cheapest region for Azure SQL", or "compare storage prices between eastus and westeurope".
