Lean specification
USE FOR: Design theorem specifications for Lean 4 proofs. Use when planning new theorems, lemmas, definitions, or tactics. Covers the three-part specification (requirements, design, documentation), lifecycle management, dependency analysis, and integration with the review council. DO NOT USE FOR: actual proof writing (use @lean-proof); requirement extraction (use @lean-doc-requirements); review (use @lean-proof-review). TRIGGERS: specification, theorem spec, three-part spec, lemma plan, tactic plan.From its SKILL.md

Lean 4 Theorem Specification
Structured process for specifying theorems before implementation. Every theorem passes through Specify → Design → Implement → Review → Merge, with each stage tracked by document templates.
Routing
- USE FOR: Design theorem specifications for Lean 4 proofs. Use when planning new theorems, lemmas, definitions, or tactics. Covers the three-part specification (requirements, design, documentation), lifecycle management, dependency analysis, and integration with the review council.
- DO NOT USE FOR: actual proof writing (use @lean-proof); requirement extraction (use @lean-doc-requirements); review (use @lean-proof-review).
- TRIGGERS: specification, theorem spec, three-part spec, lemma plan, tactic plan.
Workflow
- Identify the artifact: new theorem, new lemma, new definition, or new tactic.
- Apply the three-part specification template from the body (signature, intent, traceability); verify Mathlib primitives exist at the pin.
- Produce the spec; add explicit non-goals + dependencies.
- Hand off: to
@lean-prooffor the proof, to@lean-proof-reviewonce proven, to@lean-zettelkasten.
Recovery & STOP
- STOP if the artifact is informal — extract requirements via
@lean-doc-requirementsfirst. - STOP if the spec depends on Mathlib primitives missing at the pin — escalate to
@lean-research. - STOP if reviewer would reject on grounds the body covers (vacuous truth, missing hypothesis) — fix before publishing.
