What it does

Proof Theory is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. Problem-solving strategies for proof theory in mathematical logic

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Context management for Claude Code. Hooks maintain state via ledgers and handoffs. MCP execution without context pollution. Agent orchestration with isolated context windows. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/proof-theory”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Proof Strategy Selection
  2. Structural Induction
  3. Cut Elimination
  4. Completeness/Soundness Check
  5. Proof Verification

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Proof Theory loads about 452 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~452

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Proof Theory

When to Use

Use this skill when working on proof-theory problems in mathematical logic.

Decision Tree

  1. Proof Strategy Selection

    • Direct proof: assume premises, derive conclusion
    • Proof by contradiction: assume negation, derive false
    • Proof by cases: split on disjunction
    • Induction: base case + inductive step
  2. Structural Induction

    • Define well-founded ordering on structures
    • Base: prove for minimal elements
    • Step: assume for smaller, prove for current
    • z3_solve.py prove "induction_principle"
  3. Cut Elimination

    • Gentzen's Hauptsatz: cuts can be eliminated
    • Subformula property: only subformulas appear
    • Useful for proof normalization
  4. Completeness/Soundness Check

    • Soundness: if provable then valid
    • Completeness: if valid then provable
    • z3_solve.py prove "soundness_theorem"
  5. Proof Verification

    • Check each step follows from rules
    • Verify dependencies are satisfied
    • math_scratchpad.py verify "proof_steps"

Tool Commands

Z3_Induction_Base
bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/cc_math/z3_solve.py prove "P(0)"
Z3_Induction_Step
bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/cc_math/z3_solve.py prove "ForAll([n], Implies(P(n), P(n+1)))"
Z3_Soundness
bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/cc_math/z3_solve.py prove "Implies(derivable(phi), valid(phi))"
Math_Verify
bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/cc_math/math_scratchpad.py verify "proof_structure"

Questions about Proof Theory

What does Proof Theory do?

Problem-solving strategies for proof theory in mathematical logic. Proof Theory is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.

How do I install Proof Theory in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill proof-theory -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/math/mathematical-logic/proof-theory in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) into .claude/skills/proof-theory in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Proof Theory in Codex?

Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill proof-theory -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/math/mathematical-logic/proof-theory in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) into .agents/skills/proof-theory in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Proof Theory in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill proof-theory -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/proof-theory, .gemini/skills/proof-theory, .github/skills/proof-theory and .opencode/skills/proof-theory in your project.

What does Proof Theory need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Proof Theory needs the command-line tools its instructions call (uv). Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read.

Does Proof Theory access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Proof Theory safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Proof Theory use?

Proof Theory is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Proof Theory use?

About 452 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Proof Theory?
