Use when users need to: (1) Generate SMV models from program code for verification, (2) Extract state-transition models from protocol implementations, (3) Analyze control flow and…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Generate implementation code and tests from written specifications. Use when the user provides specifications (natural language descriptions, formal specs, requirements documents, API specs) and asks Claude to implement the described functionality. Supports data structures, algorithms, classes, functions, and includes…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Generate formal specifications including preconditions, postconditions, invariants, and contracts from code or requirements. Use this skill when documenting APIs, creating formal verification annotations, defining function contracts, specifying class invariants, writing design-by-contract code, or preparing code for…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Translate natural-language requirements or structured specification documents into formal temporal logic properties (LTL, CTL, safety/liveness properties). Use when users need to formalize requirements for model checking, formal verification, or property specification. Handles embedded/real-time systems, hardware…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Automatically migrate Spring MVC applications to Spring Boot. Use when you need to modernize a Spring MVC project to Spring Boot while preserving functionality. The skill analyzes the codebase, updates build configuration (Maven/Gradle), migrates annotations, converts XML configuration to Java/properties, updates…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Instrument programs (Python, C/C++, Java) to capture snapshots of key program states at runtime, including variables, memory, and call stacks. Use when you need to debug complex issues, reproduce test cases, prepare traces for formal verification, or analyze program execution. Supports manual instrumentation points…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Analyze source code statically to detect potential functional bugs including null dereferences, incorrect condition checks, unreachable code, inconsistent state updates, logic errors, resource leaks, and type mismatches. Report suspicious code locations with detailed explanations, severity levels, and confidence…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Verify code correctness statically against specifications using type checking, contract verification, and formal methods. Use when: (1) Verifying type safety and null safety in Python, Java, or C/C++ code, (2) Checking design-by-contract specifications (preconditions, postconditions, invariants), (3) Validating code…
Skill Claude CodeCodex needs its repo
Statically analyze code to detect security vulnerabilities including buffer overflows, injection risks (SQL, command, XSS), insecure deserialization, improper authentication, hard-coded credentials, and unsafe cryptography. Use when: (1) Performing security code review, (2) Analyzing code for OWASP Top 10…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Interview-based strategic planning for complex software tasks. Conducts structured requirements gathering, gap analysis, and generates detailed work plans before implementation begins.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Performs symbolic execution to detect potential errors by exploring execution paths, solving path constraints, and generating test inputs. Use when you need to analyze code for bugs like null dereferences, division by zero, buffer overflows, or assertion violations. Also use to generate test inputs that exercise…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Creates visual representations of system structure including architecture diagrams, data flow diagrams, deployment diagrams, and sequence diagrams. Use when Claude needs to visualize system components, infrastructure, data flows, or interactions. Supports Mermaid (recommended for Markdown/GitHub), PlantUML (for…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Identifies bug-introducing commits using SZZ-style analysis based on bug-fixing commits, commit history, and code blame information. Use this skill when you need to trace bugs back to their origin, identify which commits introduced bugs, analyze bug-fix commits to find root causes, perform software repository mining…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Analyze proof states in Isabelle or Coq and suggest applicable tactics to make progress. Use when users need help with: (1) Choosing the next tactic in an interactive proof, (2) Understanding what tactics apply to their current goal, (3) Getting unstuck in a proof, (4) Learning which tactics work for specific goal…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Instruments code to track the flow of untrusted or sensitive data at runtime, enabling detection of injection vulnerabilities, data leaks, and privilege violations. Use when users need to: (1) Track untrusted input propagation through code, (2) Detect SQL injection, XSS, or command injection vulnerabilities, (3)…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
