arXiv:2610.17331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: General-purpose coding agents use standard shell and file interactions, yet formal theorem-proving agents often rely on specialized, ad-hoc tooling. This makes it difficult to determine which components of theorem-proving agents provide benchmark gains: an improved base model, a specialized harness, a specific tool, or a combination of any of them. We introduce mini-Lean-agent, a deliberately minimal agent for Lean tasks whose only model-visible tool is bash. The model must use bash to inspect and edit the repository, search local libraries, invo
