SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Lean-proof researchers often lose track of observations and their relations, making reviews and synthesis slow. This skill provides a structured Zettelkasten to capture Lean proof notes and automatically link related items bidirectionally, enabling faster reasoning and traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bidirectional linking of notes to support cross-reference across fleeting, literature, and permanent notes.
  • Enforces note typing conventions, ID schemas, and index/tag maintenance to keep the knowledge graph coherent.
  • Supports workflow scenarios like council-session capture, literature reviews, and retro/proof assessment with rules for note promotion and linkage.

Quick Start

Invoke lean-zettelkasten to create a new ZK note from a council observation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize Lean proof notes for synthesis and review?

You can structure Lean proof observations into a Zettelkasten by generating fleeting, literature, and permanent notes with bidirectional links. This enforces ID schemas and tag maintenance to ensure coherent cross-references across proof reviews and literature scans.

What is the best way to link related Lean proof observations bidirectionally?

Apply Zettelkasten note typing conventions to automatically generate bidirectional links between fleeting, literature, and permanent notes. This maintains a coherent knowledge graph and ensures traceability across related Lean proof observations during synthesis.

How do I create a Zettelkasten note from a Lean council session observation?

Invoke the Zettelkasten workflow during a council session to capture a Lean proof observation. The system automatically assigns the correct note typing, generates an ID, and creates bidirectional links to integrate the observation into the knowledge graph.

Does this Zettelkasten workflow support literature scans and retro proof assessments?

Yes, the workflow supports literature scans and retro proof assessments by applying specific rules for note promotion and linkage. It captures observations from these scenarios and maintains index and tag conventions to ensure structured knowledge synthesis.

Why do I need ID schemas and note typing conventions in a Lean proof Zettelkasten?

ID schemas and note typing conventions are required in a Lean proof Zettelkasten to enforce structure across fleeting, literature, and permanent notes. This maintains knowledge graph coherence, ensures accurate bidirectional linking, and preserves traceability during synthesis.
