The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Format Blueprint Block: Write the LaTeX snippet with \begin{theorem}[Name] \label{...} \lean{...} \uses{...} \leanok ...

    line 42
  2. Very specific:

    If an informal translation appears weaker or stronger than the formal Lean signature, re-check the exact binder and hypothesis types via …

    line 47
  3. Very specific:

    If dependency extraction is incomplete because .ilean artifacts are missing, run a targeted build via @lean-build first.

    line 51

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

lean-pedagogical-exposition

Protocol for translating Lean 4 formalizations into clear, beautiful, textbook-quality mathematical exposition, interactive Lean Blueprint chapters, and pedagogical learning materials.

Routing

  • USE FOR:
    • De-formalizing Lean 4 definitions and theorems into intuitive, elegant standard mathematical prose.
    • Converting proof scripts (towers of have, calc, obtain, rcases) into structured narrative proofs with clear motivation.
    • Authoring Lean Blueprint LaTeX chapters with \begin{theorem}, \uses, \lean, \leanok, and informal proof sketches.
    • Designing pedagogical diagrams, flowcharts, and intuition pumps for complex formal proofs.
    • Producing learning zettels and concept cards for the knowledge garden.
  • DO NOT USE FOR:

Workflow

  1. Select Landmark: Identify target theorem or definition from @lean-formalization-breakdown.
  2. Extract Dependencies: Query lean-lsp-mcp or dep_graph.sh to obtain the transitive premise set.
  3. Draft Math Formulation: Translate Lean types and hypotheses into standard mathematical notation ($L^2$, $H^s$, $\nabla \times u$).
  4. Decompose Proof Skeleton: Identify the major intermediate lemmas (have milestones) and draft the narrative proof.
  5. Format Blueprint Block: Write the LaTeX snippet with \begin{theorem}[Name] \label{...} \lean{...} \uses{...} \leanok ... \end{theorem}.
  6. Synthesize Zettel: Emit permanent concept note or reference zettel for the knowledge garden.

Recovery & STOP

  • If an informal translation appears weaker or stronger than the formal Lean signature, re-check the exact binder and hypothesis types via @lean-proof-review before publishing the exposition.
  • If dependency extraction is incomplete because .ilean artifacts are missing, run a targeted build via @lean-build first.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
