Formal Skeleton Helper
Windows Runtime Commands
On native Windows, use the managed Windows runner and the native runtime command target. Set $runtime to the installed runtime root. Multi-agent installs usually use %LOCALAPPDATA%\ai-agents-skills\runtime. Then run:
$runtime = if ($env:AAS_RUNTIME_ROOT) { $env:AAS_RUNTIME_ROOT } else { "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\ai-agents-skills\runtime" }
& "$runtime\run_skill.ps1" "skills/formal-skeleton-helper/formal_skeleton_helper.py" <args>
POSIX examples below use run_skill.sh and .sh command targets; use the Windows command target above on native Windows.
Use this skill to turn an informal theorem, lemma, definition, or proof target
into a small formalization scaffold. The goal is a useful skeleton, not a
claimed complete proof.
Workflow
- Extract the intended claim name, imports, namespace, variables, hypotheses,
conclusion, and any preferred notation.
- State assumptions before generating the skeleton when mathematical types or
libraries are ambiguous.
- Produce the smallest useful Lean-style scaffold:
- imports
- namespace
- variables
- theorem or lemma statement
- placeholder proof such as
by sorry
- Separately list blockers, missing definitions, likely library lemmas, and
mathematical ambiguities.
Output Rules
- Use stable names and avoid inventing large surrounding APIs.
- Prefer a conservative statement over an overfit one.
- Do not claim the code compiles unless it was actually checked.
- If Lean is unavailable, label the output as an unchecked skeleton.
Verification
When a Lean environment is available and the user wants a checked artifact, run
the project-local Lean command or ask for the project build command. Otherwise
return the skeleton with explicit unchecked status.
Recommended templates
When this skill is involved, consider these workflow templates (install via
the workflow-templates artifact profile, or --with-deps to pull backing skills):
informal-to-lean-formalization-runbook -- Local-first intake mapping an informal proof to Lean declarations with a scanner-first verification gate separating typecheck status from claim support.
