lean SKILL.md skillB

lean from swingerman/engineer is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add swingerman/engineer/lean@git:20261020.a98004e

Pins git:20261020.a98004e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use to formally verify real code with Lean 4. Model a function or state machine as written, prove an invariant for every input, and reproduce any counterexample as a failing test. Dispatched by /engineer.harden for all-inputs invariants (parsers, maskers, money math, permission predicates); also usable directly. Triggers — "/engineer.lean", "use lean to verify X", "prove X can't happen", "lean-verify this code".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Lean

Lean is only useful here if the proof actually compiles. Don't hand back
`sorry`-riddled code and call it done — the whole point of a proof assistant
is that `lake build` is the ground truth, not your judgment about whether the
proof "looks right."

## Setup check

First run:

```bash
which lean lake elan
```

If missing, tell the user and offer to install via elan (the Lean toolchain
manager) — don't install it silently, it's a real download:

```bash
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leanprover/elan/master/elan-init.sh -sSf | sh
```

If the project has a `lakefile.lean`/`lakefile.toml` + `lean-toolchain`, just
`cd` into it and use `lake build` — don't reinvent the toolchain setup.

## Workflow

1. **Write/edit the `.lean` file.**
2. **Check it**: `lake build` (whole project) or `lake env lean file.lean`
   (single file, faster while iterating).
3. **Read the error precisely.** Lean errors point at the exact tactic state
   — the "unsolved goals" block tells you exactly what's left to prove. Don't
   guess; read the goal state and pick a tactic that closes it.
4. **Before writing a new proof from scratch, check if Mathlib already has

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add swingerman/engineer/lean@sha256:a52f5e3260aa14b4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.a98004e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.

Audit of the latest version

B  16 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
  • fail: No curl or wget piped into a shell (matched: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leanprover/elan/master/elan-init.sh -sSf | sh)
  • pass: Frontmatter block present
  • pass: Frontmatter declares a name
  • pass: Frontmatter declares a description
  • pass: Size between 200 bytes and 200 KB (6564 bytes)
  • pass: No zero-width or bidi control characters
  • pass: No instruction hidden inside an HTML comment
  • pass: No link to an exfiltration or paste host
  • pass: No credential-shaped string
