it's a bit dated, but Terence Tao has a video of formalizing a proof with LLMs from 9 months ago which should be illuminating

This is very similar to how I worked with Lean a year ago (of course in a much simpler domain) - mostly manual editing, sometimes accepting an inline completion or next edit suggestion. However, with agentic AI that can run lean via CLI my workflow changed completely and I rarely write full proofs anymore (only intermediate lemma statements or very high level calc statements).
