program-to-tlaplus-spec-generator

program-to-tlaplus-spec-generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,870 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A generator that turns program code or a system implementation into a TLA+ specification. TLA+ is a language for describing state changes and checking the behavior of concurrent or distributed systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify state variables and transitions and produce TLA+ modules for sequential, concurrent, distributed, or state-machine systems.
Why use it?
Important system behavior can be hard to reason about directly from implementation code. A specification provides an abstract model of state, transitions, and invariants for formal analysis.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

program-to-tlaplus-spec-generator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Program to TLA+ Spec Generator

Overview

This skill enables automatic generation of TLA+ specifications from source code. It analyzes program structure, identifies state variables and transitions, and produces well-formed TLA+ modules with proper syntax and semantics.

Generation Workflow

Follow this sequential process to generate TLA+ specifications from code:

1. Analyze Input Program

Read and understand the source code:

  • Identify scope: Determine which components/modules to formalize
  • Understand purpose: What does the system do? What properties matter?
  • Detect patterns: Is it concurrent? Distributed? Sequential? State machine?
  • Note language: Adapt analysis to language-specific constructs

Ask clarifying questions if needed:

  • Which components should be included in the spec?
  • Are there specific properties or invariants to capture?
  • What level of abstraction is desired?

2. Extract State Variables

Identify variables that represent system state:

Look for:

  • Global variables and shared state
  • Object fields that persist across operations
  • Database/storage state
  • Message queues or buffers
  • Locks, semaphores, and synchronization primitives
  • Process/thread state (running, waiting, etc.)

Determine types:

  • Booleans, integers, sets, sequences, records
  • Map program types to TLA+ types
  • Identify bounded vs unbounded values

Output: List of state variables with TLA+ type declarations

3. Identify System Actions

Extract operations that modify state:

Look for:

  • Functions/methods that change state
  • Event handlers and callbacks
  • Message send/receive operations
  • Lock acquire/release
  • State transitions in state machines
  • Concurrent operations

For each action, identify:

  • Preconditions (when can it execute?)
  • State changes (what variables are modified?)
  • Postconditions (what must be true after?)
  • Parameters and return values

Output: List of actions with their effects

4. Determine Initial State

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
