Abstract

We propose proof script refactorings as a robust tool for constructing, restructuring, and maintaining formal proof developments. We argue that a formal approach is vital, and illustrate by defining and proving correct a number of valuable refactorings in a simplified proof script and declarative proof language of our own design.
