At a glance

Writes and audits natural-language math proofs as checkable packages, with explicit assumptions, proof obligations and counterexample hunting, refuting or repairing weak claims.

  • Proving or completing the proof of a theorem, lemma or proposition
  • SKILL.md covers Position in the Method Map, When to Use This Skill, Not For / Boundaries and Quick Reference, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Reviewing a draft proof for hidden gaps such as steps justified by obviously

What it does

This skill, written mostly in Chinese, produces auditable proof packages for mathematical statements and reviews existing drafts. When a claim is false or its conditions are insufficient, it prefers refuting or repairing the claim over writing an attractive but wrong proof. It applies when you ask to prove, complete or check a statement, when a draft leans on words like obviously or standard argument, when a large result must be split into lemmas, proof obligations and a dependency graph, and when counterexamples should be sought from boundary values, degenerate cases or quantifier order.

Each result carries a claim with exact quantifier order, a status (provable as stated, repaired, refuted or blocked) and its assumptions, including hidden ones. Strict boundaries apply: a natural-language proof can reach only a drafted or human-reviewed label, never kernel-checked, which comes only from a proof assistant through the `math-formalization` skill. Assumptions, domains and quantifiers are never silently changed, cited theorems need a name, a source and a check that their premises hold, and a proof graph with duplicate IDs, unknown dependencies, cycles or unclosed nodes must fail rather than continue with a warning.

A refuted sub-lemma only rejects that proof route, not the original claim, unless the counterexample also satisfies the claim's negation. Four worked examples cover a false inequality, a missing compactness argument, a full draft and a failed route lemma. Reference files hold a source map and pressure tests.

When your agent uses it

  • Proving or completing the proof of a theorem, lemma or proposition
  • Reviewing a draft proof for hidden gaps such as steps justified by obviously
  • Splitting a large result into lemmas with a dependency graph
  • Searching for counterexamples before investing in a proof

Example prompts

  • “Prove this inequality for all positive reals, and check boundary cases for a counterexample first.”
  • “Review my proof draft and flag every step that quietly assumes compactness.”
  • “Break this theorem into lemmas and show the dependency graph of the proof obligations.”
  • “Decide whether this statement must be weakened to be provable.”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 81fc7ae. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Rigorous Math Proof loads about 571 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 115 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~571
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
严格自然语言数学证明。用于证明或审查 theorem/lemma/proposition、补齐证明草稿、构建证明义务与依赖图、寻找反例、检查量词/常数/边界情况,或判断命题是否必须削弱。

Math Proof

产出可审计的证明包;命题不成立或条件不足时,优先反驳或修正,不制造漂亮假证明。

Position in the Method Map

本 skill 位于“演绎验证 / 定理证明”的 proof-engineering 阶段,前置是 FORMAL-METHODS-MAP.md 所定义的规格与语义边界。证明草稿、引理图和自然语言审查不会自动等同于 Lean kernel check;需要形式化时交给 math-formalization,需要有限反例或 SMT 路径时交给 math-computation。

When to Use This Skill

  • 用户要求证明、补全或检查一个数学命题。
  • 当前证明含“显然”“类似”“标准论证”等可能隐藏缺口的跳步。
  • 需要将大结论拆成引理、证明义务和依赖图。
  • 需要从边界值、退化情形或量词顺序寻找反例。

Not For / Boundaries

  • 候选库条目必须先形成精确用户请求或 active ProblemContract;来源状态、目录题面或 candidate formal file 不能触发研究证明或 Result 晋升。
  • 自然语言证明只能达到 proof-drafted 或经真实人工审查后的 human-reviewed。
  • kernel-checked 只由 math-formalization 的真实 proof assistant 成功证据产生。
  • 不静默强化假设、缩小定义域或改变结论量词。
  • 引用标准定理时必须说明名称、版本/来源和为何满足前提。
  • 证明义务图出现重复 ID、未知依赖、循环或未闭合节点时必须 fail-closed,不能 warning 后继续。
  • 子引理被反驳只否定当前证明路线;除非反例直接满足原命题的否定,不能把原命题标记 refuted。

Quick Reference

text
Claim:精确陈述与量词顺序。
Status:provable-as-stated / repaired / refuted / blocked。
Assumptions:显式、隐藏和最小必要条件。
Proof obligations:每个非平凡蕴含一个义务。
Dependency map:结论 -> 引理 -> 外部定理 -> 假设。
Graph gate:节点 ID 唯一、依赖存在、无环、所有终点可追溯到 Claim。
Attack pass:边界、退化、极端尺度、量词交换、等号条件。
Proof:编号步骤,每步绑定义务或已验证结果。
Open gaps:任何未闭合项都会阻止完成声明。
Route status:open / blocked / refuted / closed,与 Claim status 分开记录。

Examples

Example 1:命题为假
  • 输入:一个全称不等式。
  • 动作:先检查边界和小规模反例,再决定证明策略。
  • 验收:找到反例后停止写证明,输出最小反例和可能修正版。
Example 2:缺少紧致性
  • 输入:证明草稿在极值存在性处跳步。
  • 动作:隔离存在性义务,核查连续性、闭性和有界性。
  • 验收:条件不足时状态为 repaired/blocked,不写“显然存在”。
Example 3:完整证明草稿
  • 输入:陈述、假设与若干已知引理。
  • 动作:建立依赖图,逐项闭合证明义务并做反例攻击。
  • 验收:statement 与实际证明完全一致,仍标记 proof-drafted 而非 kernel-checked。
Example 4:路线引理为假
  • 输入:某条证明路线依赖一个可被反例推翻的辅助引理。
  • 动作:将该 route 标记 refuted,检查反例是否也反驳原 Claim,并保留其他独立路线。
  • 验收:没有原命题反例时,Claim 仍为 blocked/open,而不是 refuted。

References

  • references/source-map.md:证明、审稿、proof DAG 与批判性思考来源映射。
  • references/pressure-tests.md:错误命题、DAG 完整性、路线状态与隐藏缺口压力场景。

Maintenance

  • Sources:annals-of-mathematics-skills、kdense-scientific-skills、proofflow、leanprover-skills;上游图与 skill 只作方法/反例来源,不代表本项目已安装或验证。
  • Last updated:2026-08-26。
  • Verification:项目结构校验;数学正确性需要人工或 proof assistant 证据。
