Pantograph

An interaction system for Lean 4.

Pantograph

Installation

Install elan and lake. Execute

make build/bin/pantograph

setup the LEAN_PATH environment variable so it contains the library path of lean libraries. The libraries must be built in advance. For example, if mathlib4 is stored at ../lib/mathlib4,

LIB="../lib"
LIB_MATHLIB="$LIB/mathlib4/lake-packages"
export LEAN_PATH="$LIB/mathlib4/build/lib:$LIB_MATHLIB/aesop/build/lib:$LIB_MATHLIB/Qq/build/lib:$LIB_MATHLIB/std/build/lib"

LEAN_PATH=$LEAN_PATH build/bin/pantograph $@

Usage

pantograph MODULES|LEAN_OPTIONS

The REPL loop accepts commands as single-line JSON inputs and outputs either an Error: (indicating malformed command) or a JSON return value indicating the result of a command execution. The command can be passed in one of two formats

command { ... }
{ "cmd": command, "payload": ... }

The list of available commands can be found in Pantograph/Commands.lean and below. An empty command aborts the REPL.

The pantograph executable must be run with a list of modules to import. It can also accept lean options of the form --key=value e.g. --pp.raw=true.

Example: (~5k symbols)

$ pantograph Init
lib.catalog
lib.inspect {"name": "Nat.le_add_left"}

Example with mathlib4 (~90k symbols, may stack overflow, see troubleshooting)

$ pantograph Mathlib.Analysis.Seminorm
lib.catalog

Example proving a theorem: (alternatively use goal.start {"copyFrom": "Nat.add_comm"}) to prime the proof

$ pantograph Init
goal.start {"expr": "∀ (n m : Nat), n + m = m + n"}
goal.tactic {"goalId": 0, "tactic": "intro n m"}
goal.tactic {"goalId": 1, "tactic": "assumption"}
goal.delete {"goalIds": [0]}
stat {}
goal.tactic {"goalId": 1, "tactic": "rw [Nat.add_comm]"}
stat

where the application of assumption should lead to a failure.

Commands

See Pantograph/Commands.lean for a description of the parameters and return values in JSON.

  • reset: Delete all cached expressions and proof trees
  • expr.echo {"expr": <expr>}: Determine the type of an expression and round-trip it
  • lib.catalog: Display a list of all safe Lean symbols in the current context
  • lib.inspect {"name": <name>, "value": <bool>}: Show the type and package of a given symbol; If value flag is set, the value is printed or hidden. By default only the values of definitions are printed.
  • options.set { key: value, ... }: Set one or more options (not Lean options; those have to be set via command line arguments.), for options, see Pantograph/Commands.lean
  • options.print: Display the current set of options
  • goal.start {["name": <name>], ["expr": <expr>], ["copyFrom": <symbol>]}: Start a new goal from a given expression or symbol
  • goal.tactic {"goalId": <id>, "tactic": <tactic>}: Execute a tactic string on a given goal
  • goal.remove {"goalIds": [<id>]}": Remove a bunch of stored goals.
  • stat: Display resource usage

Errors

When an error pertaining to the execution of a command happens, the returning JSON structure is

{ error: "type", desc: "description" }

Common error forms:

  • command: Indicates malformed command structure which results from either invalid command or a malformed JSON structure that cannot be fed to an individual command.
  • index: Indicates an invariant maintained by the output of one command and input of another is broken. For example, attempting to query a symbol not existing in the library or indexing into a non-existent proof state.

Troubleshooting

If lean encounters stack overflow problems when printing catalog, execute this before running lean:

ulimit -s unlimited

Testing

The tests are based on LSpec. To run tests,

make test
