Tactics

Syntax	Description
istart	Start the proof mode.
istop	Stop the proof mode.
irename nameFrom into nameTo	Rename the hypothesis nameFrom to nameTo.
iclear hyp	Discard the hypothesis hyp.
iexists x	Resolve an existential quantifier in the goal by introducing the variable x.
iexact hyp	Solve the goal with the hypothesis hyp.
iassumption_lean	Solve the goal with a hypothesis of the type ⊢ Q from the Lean context.
iassumption	Solve the goal with a hypothesis from any context (pure, intuitionistic or spatial).
iex_falso	Change the goal to False.
ipure hyp	Move the hypothesis hyp to the pure context.
iintuitionistic hyp	Move the hypothesis hyp to the intuitionistic context.
ispatial hyp	Move the hypothesis hyp to the spatial context.
iemp_intro	Solve the goal if it is emp and discard all hypotheses.
ipure_intro	Turn a goal of the form ⌜φ⌝ into a Lean goal φ.
ispecialize hyp args as name	Specialize the wand or universal quantifier hyp with the hypotheses and variables args and assign the name name to the resulting hypothesis.
isplit	Split a conjunction (e.g. ∧) into two goals, using the entire spatial context for both of them.
isplit {l|r}	Split a separating conjunction (e.g. ∗) into two goals, using the entire spatial context for the left (l) or right (r) side.
isplit {l|r} [hyps]	Split a separating conjunction (e.g. ∗) into two goals, using the hypotheses hyps as the spatial context for the left (l) or right (r) side. The remaining hypotheses in the spatial context are used for the opposite side.
ileft iright	Choose to prove the left (ileft) or right (iright) side of a disjunction in the goal.
icases hyp with cases-pat	Destruct the hypothesis hyp using the cases pattern cases-pat.
iintro cases-pats	Introduce up to multiple hypotheses and destruct them using the cases patterns cases-pats.

Cases Patterns

Pattern	Description
name	Rename the hypothesis to name.
_	Drop the hypothesis.
⟨pat_1 [, pat_2]...⟩	Destruct a (separating) conjunction and recursively destruct its arguments using the patterns pat_i.
(pat_1 [| pat_2]...)	Destruct a disjunction and recursively destruct its arguments in separate goals using the patterns pat_i. The parentheses can be omitted if this pattern is not on the top level.
⌜name⌝	Move the hypothesis to the pure context and rename it to name.
□ pat	Move the hypothesis to the intuitionistic context and further destruct it using the pattern pat.
-□ pat	Move the hypothesis to the spatial context and further destruct it using the pattern pat.

Example:

-- the hypothesis:
P1 ∗ (□ P2 ∨ P2) ∗ (P3 ∧ P3')
-- can be destructed using the pattern:
⟨HP1, □HP2 | HP2, ⟨HP3, _⟩⟩
-- (there are of course other valid patterns for destructing the shown hypothesis)
