Abstract
Proof assistants offer tactics to facilitate inductive proofs. However, it still requires human ingenuity to decide what arguments to pass to those induction tactics. To automate this process, we present smart_induct for Isabelle/HOL. Given an inductive problem in any problem domain, smart_induct lists promising arguments for the induct tactic without relying on a search. Our evaluation demonstrated smart_induct produces valuable recommendations across problem domains.
