We present an interface connecting the ACL2 theorem prover with external deduction tools. The logic of ACL2 contains several constructs intended to facilitate structuring of interactive proof development, which complicates the design of such an interface. We discuss some of these complexities and develop a precise specification of the requirements from external tools for sound connection with ACL2. We also develop constructs within ACL2 to enable the developers of external tools to satisfy our specifications.
