Breaking Down Math Proofs with Sub-Agents
burny_tech · x · 2026-07-10
The post shares a prompting technique where a model acting as a "GPT 5.6 Sol Pro" is tasked with writing the proof for the finite generation of the rational point group on an elliptic curve. The output is structured into self-contained, step-by-step sentences in the style of Leslie Lamport.
The author emphasizes that this prompt structure forces the model to autonomously decompose the proof into multiple sub-tasks. The core takeaway is using prompts to orchestrate the model's reasoning process, rather than merely debating the mathematical conclusions.
