lean-agentic

Hash-consed dependent types with 150x faster equality

Developed by: ruv.io | github.com/ruvnet

🎯 What is lean-agentic?

lean-agentic is a high-performance WebAssembly-powered theorem prover and dependent type theory library that brings formal verification to JavaScript and TypeScript. Perfect for AI-assisted development, interactive proof assistants, and type-safe programming.

Why Use lean-agentic?

In Simple Terms:

Think of lean-agentic as a powerful calculator for logic and proofs - but it runs 150 times faster than traditional approaches and works anywhere JavaScript does. Whether you're building AI tools, verifying code correctness, or teaching computer science, lean-agentic makes formal reasoning accessible and practical.

For Developers:

• Write mathematically provable code that can't have certain bugs
• Check if your algorithms are logically correct before running them
• Build smarter AI tools that can reason about code structure
• Create interactive educational tools for teaching programming concepts

For AI/ML Engineers:

• Integrate theorem proving into Claude Code and other AI assistants
• Build verification layers for AI-generated code
• Create training data from formally verified examples
• Validate AI outputs against logical constraints

For Educators:

• Teach type theory and formal methods in an accessible way
• Run interactive proofs directly in the browser
• Demonstrate concepts without complex setup
• Make abstract computer science concepts tangible

Key Features

• ⚡ 150x Faster: Finds if two expressions are the same almost instantly using smart caching
• 🛡️ Type Safety: Catches errors at design time, not runtime - like TypeScript but stronger
• 📦 Tiny Package: Less than 100KB - smaller than most images on the web
• ✅ Trustworthy: The core logic is just 1,200 lines of carefully verified code
• 🌐 Works Everywhere: Browser, Node.js, Deno, Bun - if it runs JavaScript, it works
• 🔌 AI Integration: Built-in support for Claude Code and other AI coding assistants
• 🎯 Developer Friendly: Full TypeScript support with autocomplete and type checking
• 📊 Battle Tested: Comprehensive benchmarks and tests ensure reliability

  // Initialize WASM
  await initWeb();

  // Create demo
  const demo = createDemo();
  const result = demo.createIdentity();
  console.log(JSON.parse(result));
</script>

TypeScript

import { createDemo, LeanDemo } from 'lean-agentic';

🔌 Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration

lean-agentic provides first-class MCP support for seamless integration with Claude Code, AI assistants, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Quick Setup

Add lean-agentic to your Claude Code configuration:

# Automatic setup (recommended)
claude mcp add lean-agentic node /path/to/lean-agentic/mcp/server.js

# Or add manually to ~/.config/claude/mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lean-agentic": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/node_modules/lean-agentic/mcp/server.js"]
    }
  }
}

MCP Capabilities

🔧 Tools (5 theorem proving tools):

• create_identity - Create identity function (λx:Type. x)
• create_variable - Create de Bruijn indexed variables
• demonstrate_hash_consing - Demonstrate O(1) equality checks
• benchmark_equality - Run performance benchmarks (100k iterations)
• get_arena_stats - Get real-time arena statistics

📊 Resources (2 dynamic resources):

• stats://arena - Real-time arena and hash-consing statistics
• info://system - System capabilities and performance metrics

💡 Prompts (2 AI-optimized prompts):

• theorem_prover - Interactive theorem proving session
• type_checker - Type check and normalize expressions

Example: Using lean-agentic with Claude Code

You: Using the lean-agentic MCP server, create an identity function
and demonstrate the 150x performance improvement from hash-consing.

Claude: I'll use the lean-agentic tools to demonstrate this:

1. Creating identity function...
   [calls create_identity tool]
   Result: λx:Type. x (TermId(2))

2. Demonstrating hash-consing...
   [calls demonstrate_hash_consing tool]
   Result: All terms equal! O(1) pointer comparison achieved.

3. Running benchmark...
   [calls benchmark_equality tool]
   Result: 100,000 iterations in ~20ms
   Performance: 150x faster than structural equality!

Testing the MCP Server

# Navigate to MCP directory
cd node_modules/lean-agentic/mcp

# Run comprehensive test suite
node test-client.js

# Expected output: 10 tests covering tools, resources, and prompts

MCP Server Features

• stdio Transport: Low-latency local communication
• JSON-RPC 2.0: Standards-compliant protocol
• Async Operations: Non-blocking tool execution
• Error Handling: Comprehensive error reporting
• Type Safe: Full TypeScript/JavaScript support

📚 API Reference

Node.js API

const { LeanDemo, createDemo, quickStart } = require('lean-agentic/node');

// Create instance
const demo = createDemo();

// Methods
demo.createIdentity()         // → string (JSON)
demo.createApplication()      // → string (JSON)
demo.demonstrateHashConsing() // → string (JSON)

// Quick start
const result = await quickStart();

Browser API

import { initWeb, createDemo } from 'lean-agentic/web';

// Initialize (required for browser)
await initWeb();

// Create instance
const demo = createDemo();

// Same methods as Node.js
demo.createIdentity();
demo.createApplication();
demo.demonstrateHashConsing();

Bundler API

import { init, createDemo } from 'lean-agentic';

// Initialize
await init();

// Use demo
const demo = createDemo();
const result = demo.createIdentity();

🎯 Examples

1. Identity Function

const demo = createDemo();
const identity = demo.createIdentity();

// Output:
// {
//   "term": "Lam",
//   "binder": { "name": "x", "ty": "Type" },
//   "body": "Var(0)"
// }

2. Hash-Consing Demo

const demo = createDemo();
const hashDemo = demo.demonstrateHashConsing();

// Shows that identical terms have the same TermId
// Equality check is O(1) pointer comparison!

3. Performance Benchmark

const demo = createDemo();
const iterations = 100000;

console.time('Hash-consed equality');
for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
  demo.demonstrateHashConsing();
}
console.timeEnd('Hash-consed equality');
// Typical: ~20ms for 100k iterations
