Abstract
Let be the category of pro-sets (or abelian pro-groups). It is proved that for any Grothendieck site , there exists a reflector from the category of precosheaves on with values in to the full subcategory of cosheaves. In the case of precosheaves on topological spaces, it is proved that any precosheaf is smooth, i.e. is locally isomorphic to a cosheaf. Constant cosheaves are constructed, and there are established connections with shape theory.
