TLA+ is a high-level formal specification language used to design, model, and verify complex concurrent and distributed systems by describing them as state machines.

Who should use the TLA+ Getting Started skill?

It is designed for software engineers and architects who are new to formal methods and want a structured way to learn how to model system behavior precisely.

How do I run a TLA+ specification with this skill?

You can use the /tla-parse command to validate your syntax with SANY and the /tla-check or /tla-smoke commands to run the TLC model checker on your specification.

Does this skill help with TLA+ syntax errors?

Yes, it identifies common beginner mistakes such as missing primed variables, incorrect assignment operators, and forgetting to define UNCHANGED variables.

Provides step-by-step guidance and fundamental concepts for writing and verifying your first TLA+ formal specifications.

This skill serves as an interactive onboarding guide for TLA+, a formal specification language used for designing and verifying complex concurrent and distributed systems. It assists users in understanding core concepts like state machines, temporal logic, and module structures while providing hands-on examples such as counters and locks. By integrating with MCP tools for parsing and model checking, it helps beginners transition from conceptual design to executable verification, ensuring design flaws are caught early in the development lifecycle.
