Formalizing long PDE and probability papers now takes just 24-48 hours, says mathematician open-sourcing Lean skills

Scott N. Armstrong argues autoformalization has become remarkably easy: long PDE or probability papers — including prerequisites not covered in mathlib — can be formalized in Lean within 24-48 hours, and harder projects take only somewhat longer. He published a blog post explaining the workflow and has open-sourced all of his lean skill files for others to reuse.
