We propose to extend the Dafny system with an interactive proof mode. We present a motivating example, how the IPM works, including the main design choices we make, and a prototype implementation.

Optimizing strategic decisions (a.k.a. computing equilibrium) is key to the success of many non-cooperative multi-agent applications. However, in many real-world situations, we may face the exact opposite of this game-theoretic problem --…
