proof-writer

proof-writer is a skill for Claude Code from gyf9712/stat-theory-skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (4,022 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A proof-writing aid for mathematical results in machine learning and artificial intelligence theory. It checks whether the stated assumptions actually support each proof step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or complete proofs of theorems, lemmas, propositions, and corollaries, or to assess whether a proof can be completed.
Why use it?
It helps expose missing reasoning or unjustified claims instead of presenting an incomplete proof as finished.

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-writer 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 12d 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 Write: Rigorous Theorem / Lemma Drafting

🔬 Run this skill on Claude Opus. Writing rigorous proofs needs deep reasoning; run /model opus first if your session is not on Opus.

Write a mathematically honest proof package, not a polished fake proof.

The unit of completion is the closed obligation, not prose. A proof is finished when every nontrivial obligation it raises is discharged into a typed closure object, not when it reads smoothly. This single idea drives the whole skill: it is what stops the model from quitting early (an open obligation is visible and costly) and from faking (you cannot prose your way into a typed closure).

Constants

  • DEFAULT_PROOF_DOC = PROOF_PACKAGE.md in project root
  • STATUS = PROVABLE AS STATED | PROVABLE AFTER WEAKENING / EXTRA ASSUMPTION | NOT CURRENTLY JUSTIFIED
  • VERIFICATION = Verified | Conditionally verified | Gap found (defined in ../stat-shared-references/proof-closure-machinery.md, single source of truth)
  • SCRIPT = ../stat-shared-references/scripts/proof_gap_scan.py
  • ASSUMPTION_LOCK = assumptions.lock.md — the framework's shared assumption store (schema + discipline in ../stat-shared-references/assumptions-lock-protocol.md). Theorems invoke assumptions by ID from here; they do not declare their own.

Context: $ARGUMENTS

Goal

Produce exactly one of three terminal outputs:

  1. a complete proof of the original claim, every obligation closed;
  2. a corrected (usually weaker) claim plus a complete proof of it;
  3. a blockage record stating precisely why the claim is not currently justified.

There is no fourth option. A sketch, a partial expansion, or a proof with a residual "open risk" footnote is not a terminal output.

Workflow

1. Gather context

Determine the target proof file by priority: (1) a path the user specified, (2) a proof draft referenced in local notes or theorem files, (3) PROOF_PACKAGE.md. Read the target if it exists, plus theorem notes and any files the user names. Extract the exact claim, assumptions, notation, any user sketch, and nearby lemmas the draft depends on. If notation or assumptions are ambiguous, state the exact interpretation you will use before proving anything.

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-writer is a skill published in the GitHub repository gyf9712/stat-theory-skills (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 4,022 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
