proof-driven

proof-driven is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-gemini-cli-extension. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,616 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of proof-driven, Apache-2.0.

A development workflow that proves required software properties before implementation, using techniques such as property-based tests or theorem proving. A property is a rule the program must always satisfy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define postconditions, invariants, round-trip rules, and model comparisons, then combine broad property tests with example tests and formal proofs where appropriate.
Why use it?
It exposes edge cases and prevents leaving important behavior supported only by assumptions. It also turns discovered counterexamples into lasting regression tests.

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-driven 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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Proof-driven development

Prove properties from requirements before writing code. Proofs guide implementation, not the reverse. Zero unproven properties in final code.

Modern insight (2025): PBT + example tests pairing is the standard -- properties discover edge cases, example tests prevent regressions and serve as documentation. Counterexamples from shrinking should always become permanent regression tests. AI-assisted PBT (Anthropic 2025) can generate properties from docstrings, but human judgment for property selection remains essential.

See frameworks for language-specific PBT and stateful testing tools. See examples for brief property test patterns per language. See formal-tools for theorem provers and bounded model checkers.


Property Categories

Category Description Example
Postcondition Output satisfies contract sorted(sort(xs))
Invariant Property preserved by operation len(xs) == len(sort(xs))
Idempotence f(f(x)) == f(x) deduplicate(deduplicate(xs))
Inverse / Round-trip g(f(x)) == x decode(encode(x)) == x
Model-based Implementation matches reference my_sort(xs) == stdlib_sort(xs)
Commutativity Order doesn't matter a + b == b + a
Metamorphic Relationship between outputs sin(-x) == -sin(x)

Most effective (OOPSLA 2025): Model-based properties (~80% bug detection), postconditions (~65%). Least effective: properties that reimplement the logic under test.

Anti-pattern: Don't reimplement the function in the property. Properties should be simpler than the code they test.


When to Apply

  • Critical algorithms (sort, search, crypto, compression)
  • Financial calculations (rounding, currency conversion)
  • Consensus/distributed protocols (invariants across nodes)
  • Safety-critical systems (medical, automotive, aerospace)
  • Data structure invariants (balanced tree, heap property)
  • Serialization round-trip (encode/decode fidelity)
  • Stateful systems (databases, queues, caches) -- via stateful PBT

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.
