# The role of AI

CSLib in general follows the Mathlib policy on [use of AI](https://leanprover-community.github.io/contribute/index.html#use-of-ai). In particular, take note of:
> If you use artificial intelligence [...] please explain this in the PR description. Explain which tool(s) you used and how you used it. This provides useful context for reviewers: tools make different mistakes than humans, so knowing this makes it easier to spot common errors.

# Style and documentation

We generally follow the [mathlib style for coding and documentation](https://leanprover-community.github.io/contribute/style.html), so please read that as well. Some things worth mentioning and conventions specific to CSLib are explained next.

Since Boole back ends reduce correctness questions to Lean conjectures, automation is central.

We already rely on key techniques such as `grind` and `lean-smt`. Additional work on automation for conjectures generated from Boole is welcome, including domain-specific automation that remains performant and readable.

#### The role of AI

There are two primary areas where generative AI can help:

- generating/refining specifications (at the front-end or Boole level)
- helping to prove Lean conjectures

Other creative uses of AI are welcome, but contributions should remain reviewable and maintainable.
