System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of ensuring system reliability and correctness by translating informal design requirements into rigorous, verifiable formal specifications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Property Extraction: Identifies and formalizes safety, liveness, and security properties from system designs.
  • TLA+ Specification: Generates TLA+ modules defining state variables, initial conditions, and transition actions.
  • Model Checking Configuration: Sets up TLC model checker parameters for bounded verification.
  • Use Case: When designing a critical distributed protocol, use this Skill to formally specify its behavior and verify that no two nodes can hold a lock simultaneously (safety) and that every request eventually gets processed (liveness).

Quick Start

Use the formal-spec skill to write a TLA+ specification for a mutual exclusion protocol based on the provided design document.
