What it does

Lean Verify is an agent skill from TheJustinSunPrize/awards. Independently verify Lean mathematical proofs in awards PRs, Erdős problems, or pinned source revisions. Check the original statement, coverage, reproducibility, and axiom dependencies, then produce an English evidence report. Applies to Lean proofs, not solver-only submissions; does not repair proofs, modify submissions, or publish reviews automatically.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `assets/targets.example.json` and `references/automation.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. The repository describes itself as: Canonical, machine-checkable record of the Justin Sun Prize: rules, awards, candidates, and verification evidence.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Reproducible research

Example prompts

  • “/lean-verify”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Pin the input, original problem, and source revision
  2. Check that the proof addresses the original problem
  3. Set up and reproduce
  4. Proof completeness and trust boundaries
  5. Verdict and deliverables

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1687700. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Lean Verify loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,209 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~14k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,209 words (~4,150 tokens).

“Verify a complete formal proof of a specified mathematical problem at a specified source commit. Assess source traceability, correspondence to the original problem, reproducibility, and coverage separately. A successful build, an author's claim, a catalog's Solved/Yes status, or PR CI…”
