What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you understand and debug failures by providing clear, step-by-step explanations of why counterexamples violate specifications, pinpointing the root cause and impact.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyze Violations: Understand why tests fail, model checker outputs are invalid, or runtime assertions are broken.
  • Generate Traces: Create detailed execution traces showing state changes leading to a violation.
  • Root Cause Analysis: Identify the underlying bug or design flaw causing the counterexample.
  • Impact Assessment: Explain the consequences of the violation.
  • Use Case: When a critical test fails, use this Skill to generate a human-readable explanation of the failure, including the exact steps that led to the bug and a proposed fix.
