Abstract

Following in the footsteps of the success of Mathlib -- the centralised library of formalised mathematics in Lean -- CSLib is a rapidly-growing centralised library of formalised computer science and software. In this paper, we present its founding technical principles, operation, abstractions, and semantic framework. We contribute reusable semantic interfaces (reduction and labelled transition systems), proof automation, CI/testing support for maintaining automation and compatibility with Mathlib, and the first substantial developments of languages and models.
