About this paper
Jason Hickey
The authors propose a spec-first architecture where engineers review formal contracts and agents generate implementations and proofs. Its Verification IR uses higher-order abstract syntax and linear resource typing. Prior compiler work used 484 lines of formal mathematics versus 12,000 and took 3× less time. A router theorem checks one repaired listing in x86lean, not hardware execution or a complete workflow.
