Verify No Sorry

This skill checks that the codebase contains no sorry placeholders, which is a critical requirement for this project.

Quick Check

Run this command to find any sorries:

grep -r "sorry" Metatheory/ --include="*.lean"

Expected output: No matches (empty output).

Full Verification

Build the project to verify all proofs compile:

lake build

A successful build with no warnings about sorry confirms the codebase is complete.

What to Do If Sorries Are Found

Option 1: Complete the Proof Manually

Look at similar proofs nearby and mirror their style.

Option 2: Use Aristotle

For difficult proofs, use the aristotle skill to get automated proof suggestions.

Option 3: Extract Helper Lemmas

If a proof is stuck, break it into smaller pieces:

-- Instead of one complex proof
theorem big_theorem : ... := by
  sorry

-- Extract helpers
lemma helper1 : ... := by
  ...

lemma helper2 : ... := by
  ...

theorem big_theorem : ... := by
  apply helper1
  apply helper2

Project Policy

sorry is NEVER acceptable in commits to this codebase.

All theorems must be fully proven before merging.
