proof-skeleton-generator

proof-skeleton-generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 122 tokens per session (1,791 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A proof-planning tool for Isabelle/HOL and Coq, systems that formally check mathematical arguments. It creates an outline of the tactics, strategies, and intermediate lemmas needed to prove a theorem.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan induction, case analysis, and other proof strategies, with placeholders for tactics and supporting lemmas.
Why use it?
Starting a formal proof can be difficult when the required reasoning steps are unclear. A structured outline gives the proof a plan before all details are filled in.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

proof-skeleton-generator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Proof Skeleton Generator

Generate structured proof skeletons with tactics, proof strategies, and key lemmas for theorems in Isabelle/HOL or Coq.

Workflow

1. Analyze the Theorem Statement

Examine the theorem to understand:

  • Quantifiers: Universal (∀/forall) or existential (∃/exists)
  • Logical structure: Implications, conjunctions, disjunctions
  • Data types involved: Lists, natural numbers, custom types
  • Complexity: Simple equality vs. complex property

2. Choose Target System

Ask the user which proof assistant to target:

  • Isabelle/HOL: Uses Isar structured proofs, automatic tactics
  • Coq: Uses Ltac tactics, more explicit proof terms
  • Both: Generate skeletons for both systems

If not specified, default to generating both versions.

3. Determine Proof Strategy

Based on the theorem structure, identify the appropriate proof technique:

Induction - When theorem involves recursive types:

  • List induction for list properties
  • Natural number induction for arithmetic
  • Structural induction for custom datatypes
  • Strong induction when needed

Case Analysis - When theorem involves:

  • Boolean conditions
  • Option types (None/Some)
  • Sum types or custom constructors
  • Conditional expressions

Direct Proof - When theorem is:

  • Simple equality that simplifies
  • Follows directly from definitions
  • Provable by automatic tactics

Forward Reasoning - Build up facts:

  • Establish intermediate lemmas
  • Chain implications
  • Construct witnesses for existentials

Backward Reasoning - Work from goal:

  • Apply rules to reduce goal
  • Split conjunctions
  • Introduce implications

4. Identify Required Lemmas

Determine helper lemmas that may be needed:

  • Standard library lemmas: Check if already available
  • Custom lemmas: Properties that need separate proof
  • Induction hypotheses: How they'll be used
  • Intermediate facts: Steps in the main proof

5. Generate Proof Skeleton

Use the reference files for tactics and patterns:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

proof-skeleton-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE (252 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 122 tokens to every session and 1,791 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
