Pantograph

An interaction system for Lean 4.

Installation

Install elan and lean4. Then, execute

lake build

In order to use mathlib, its binary must also be built

lake build Qq
lake build aesop
lake build std
lake build mathlib

Usage

The binary must be run inside a lake env environment. i.e. lake env build/bin/pantograph. The REPL loop accepts commands 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

Example: (~5k symbols)

$ lake env build/bin/Pantograph
create {"imports": ["Init"]}
catalog {"id": 0}

Example with mathlib (~90k symbols)

$ lake env build/bin/Pantograph
create {"imports": ["Mathlib.Analysis.Seminorm"]}
catalog {"id": 0}

Troubleshooting

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

ulimit -s unlimited
