What formalisms does the specify skill support?

It supports TLA+ for distributed protocols, SysML for hardware/software systems, State Machines for lifecycles, and UML for interaction flows.

Can I use this for distributed systems?

Yes, it is specifically designed to handle complex distributed protocols by generating TLA+ modules, safety properties, and liveness constraints.

How does it handle requirements?

The skill can scan your project's 'docs/requirements/' directory to ensure the generated specification traces back to your defined business or technical needs.

Does it generate diagrams?

Yes, the skill provides visualization code using PlantUML or Mermaid for state machines, SysML models, and sequence diagrams.

Security & Testing

Generates rigorous formal specifications for complex systems using TLA+, SysML, and state machines to ensure safety and reliability.

The Formal Specification Architect skill empowers developers to design safety-critical systems with mathematical precision. By leveraging formalisms like TLA+ for distributed protocols, SysML for hardware-software integration, and state machines for complex lifecycles, it helps identify edge cases and logic errors before implementation begins. This tool is essential for teams building high-stakes software where correctness is non-negotiable, providing clear documentation, visual diagrams, and a foundation for formal verification.
