Gives your agent a structured prove/review/golf loop, mathlib search, axiom checking, and safety guardrails. The workflows are host-agnostic — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and others all use the same core skill; only the invocation surface differs. ## Quick Start | Host | Recommended installation | What you get | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Claude Code | Native plugin (Tier 3) | Skill + `/lean4:*` commands, hooks, guardrails, subagents, helper runtime | [Claude Code](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/INSTALLATION.md#claude-code-native-plugin) | | Codex | Native plugin (Tier 3) | Skill + trusted hooks + absolute-path helper runtime; no `/lean4:*` parity | [Codex](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/INSTALLATION.md#openai-codex-cli) | | Other Agent Skills hosts (Gemini, Antigravity, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode, …) | Skill-only quick install | Instructions + references (documented, not CI-verified) | [Installation guide](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/INSTALLATION.md) | | Any host, full runtime | Portable checkout (Tier 2) | Skill + wrappers + helper scripts | [Portable](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/INSTALLATION.md#portable-checkout--helper-runtime-all-hosts) | **Claude Code** (run in chat): ```text /plugin marketplace add cameronfreer/lean4-skills /plugin install lean4 ``` **Codex** (in your shell): ```bash codex plugin marketplace add cameronfreer/lean4-skills --ref main codex plugin add lean4@lean4-skills ``` > Host-native skill installers generally provide the instructions and > references only. Use the portable runtime when you also need the bundled > wrappers and scripts; Claude Code and Codex provide native full-plugin > installations. ## Workflows | Workflow | Description | |---|---| | draft | Draft Lean declaration skeletons from informal claims | | formalize | Interactive formalization — drafting plus guided proving | | autoformalize | Autonomous end-to-end formalization from informal sources | | prove | Guided cycle-by-cycle theorem proving | | autoprove | Autonomous multi-cycle proving with explicit stop budgets | | disprove | Guided counterexample search with certified refutation | | checkpoint | Save point (per-file + project build, axiom check, commit) | | review | Read-only quality review | | refactor | Leverage mathlib, extract helpers, simplify proof strategies | | golf | Improve proofs for directness, clarity, performance, and brevity | | learn | Interactive teaching and mathlib exploration | | diagnose | Diagnostics and migration help | **Claude Code:** invoke as `/lean4:`. **Other hosts:** follow the corresponding workflow in [SKILL.md](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/plugins/lean4/skills/lean4/SKILL.md). Typical session: `draft` (or `formalize` / `autoformalize`) → `prove` (or `autoprove`) → `review` → `refactor` → `golf` → `checkpoint` → `git push`. Use `disprove` instead of `prove` to refute a statement rather than prove it. CLI-like inputs to the seven parameter-heavy commands are validated by a host-agnostic parser — see the [Command Invocation Contract](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/plugins/lean4/skills/lean4/references/command-invocation.md). ## The Shared Proof Cycle The proving workflows (`prove`, `autoprove`, `formalize`, and `autoformalize`) share one cycle — **Plan → Work → Checkpoint → Review → Replan → Continue/Stop** — where each sorry gets a mathlib search, tactic attempts, and validation, and being stuck forces a review + replan. Statement and header changes belong to the synthesis workflows (`formalize` / `autoformalize`); `prove` and `autoprove` keep declaration headers immutable. Editing `.lean` files without a command runs one bounded pass — fix the immediate issue, then hand off to the right workflow — with the [Blocked-Goal Triage loop](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/plugins/lean4/skills/lean4/references/sorry-filling.md#blocked-goal-triage) for a goal that resists it. Details: [cycle-engine.md](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/plugins/lean4/skills/lean4/references/cycle-engine.md). ## Verification CI gates every PR: full documentation lint, semantic contract suites, hook and wrapper runtime tests on Linux and macOS Bash 3.2, and pinned shellcheck/ruff/mypy/actionlint. Hosts marked "documented" in the Quick Start table follow verified setup patterns but are not CI-tested. ## Lean LSP MCP (Optional, Recommended) The skill works standalone, but pairs best with [lean-lsp-mcp](https://github.com/oOo0oOo/lean-lsp-mcp): live goal inspection, mathlib search, and typically much faster feedback than repeated full builds. See [INSTALLATION.md → MCP Server](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/INSTALLATION.md#lean-lsp-mcp-server-all-hosts) for registration on any host, including the Claude Code scope trade-off for subagent visibility. ## Documentation - [INSTALLATION.md](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/INSTALLATION.md) — installation tiers, host sections, MCP setup - [SKILL.md](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/plugins/lean4/skills/lean4/SKILL.md) — core skill reference - [Commands](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/plugins/lean4/commands) — command documentation - [References](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/plugins/lean4/skills/lean4/references) — cycle engine, mathlib style, proof golfing, tactic patterns, grind, metaprogramming, and more - [lean4-contribute](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/plugins/lean4-contribute/README.md) — opt-in helper for filing bug reports, feature requests, and insights from your editor - [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md) — version history - [MIGRATION.md](https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills/blob/HEAD/plugins/lean4/MIGRATION.md) — migrating from v3 (Claude Code) ## Contributing Issues and PRs welcome at https://github.com/cameronfreer/lean4-skills. With the `lean4-contribute` plugin installed, your agent may suggest filing bug reports, feature requests, or insights at natural stopping points — drafting starts only after you opt in, and every draft is shown in full before anything is sent. ## License & Citation MIT licensed.
