This paper presents VSCode-PVS, a modern integrated development environment for the Prototype Verification System (PVS). This new environment integrates the editing and proof management functionalities of PVS in Visual Studio Code, a popular code editor widely used by software developers. VSCode-PVS provides functionalities that developers expect to find in modern verification tools, but are not available in the standard Emacs front-end of PVS, such as auto-completion, point-and-click navigation of definitions, live diagnostics for errors, and literate programming. The main features and architecture of the environment are presented, along with a comparison with other similar tools.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1912.10632v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.10632v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"an-integrated-development-environment-for-the","repo_url":"https://github.com/nasa/vscode-pvs","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
