| name | propose-subgoal-decomposition-plans |
| description | Propose multiple subgoal decomposition plans for the current theorem using the information already gathered. Use when enough information has been collected from examples, counterexamples, search results, and previous failures to break the problem into several materially different plans. |
Propose Subgoal Decomposition Plans
Use this skill when the agent has enough context to propose several viable decomposition plans.
Input Contract
Read:
- the current target theorem or branch goal
- relevant
immediate_conclusions, toy_examples, and counterexamples
- relevant
failed_paths and branch_states
- recent search results and useful references from
events
Procedure
- Gather the current information that materially constrains the problem: useful examples, failed claims, known obstructions, and relevant search results.
- Propose materially different decomposition plans.
- For each plan, state:
- the main idea of the plan
- the ordered subgoals
- why this plan is plausible given the current information
- which earlier failures or counterexamples it tries to avoid
- Hand each plan to
$direct-proving for a quick screening pass.
Output Contract
Publish one plan per decomposition to global memory with gm_add (kind plan, a
judgment — verifiable=false): claim = the plan's goal + summary, evidence =
its motivation, plus these fields:
{
"plan_id": "...",
"record_type": "decomposition_plan",
"goal": "...",
"plan_summary": "...",
"subgoals": ["..."],
"motivation": ["..."],
"uses_information_from": {
"examples": ["..."],
"counterexamples": ["..."],
"key_failures": ["..."],
"search_results": ["..."]
},
"status": "proposed|screening|screened|selected|failed|solved",
"branch_id": "optional"
}
Also note the new plan set in your local memory (events).
Tools
gm_add (publish the plan findings)
gm_search (recall the examples/counterexamples/dead-ends the plans build on)
search_arxiv_theorems
Failure Logging
If the agent cannot yet propose meaningful decomposition plans, append an events record with:
event_type="decomposition_plans_not_ready"
- the missing information
- the blockers that prevent proposing plans
