smart-contract-formal-verification

Enables your agent to verify smart contract security. It analyzes state transition rules and properties to ensure robustness.

What it does

This tool helps ensure smart contracts (programs that run on a blockchain) work exactly as intended by using rigorous mathematical tests to find potential security flaws before they are used.

When to use it

  • ✓When creating security rules for a new contract.
  • ✓When auditors and developers need to review a contract together.
  • ✓To generate reports showing if a contract is secure.

Example of what to ask your AI

“How can I verify if my cryptocurrency trading contract is secure from hackers?”

How it works

It defines the contract's operating rules, applies mathematical tests to see if these rules are always followed, and generates reports on security. This helps find problems before the contract is put into use.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill smart-contract-formal-verification

Or download just the file:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/main/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/smart-contract-formal-verification/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md

Smart Contract Formal Verification

What it is: Applies rigorous mathematical invariant proofs, symbolic execution engines, and property-based fuzz tests to verify smart contract safety.

Overview

Provides a standardized, auditable framework and data model for Smart Contract Formal Verification operations across distributed engineering and decentralized application systems.

When to Use This Skill

  • When formalizing architectural contracts, security invariants, or operational limits for Smart Contract Formal Verification.
  • When cross-functional review is required between protocol developers, smart contract auditors, and AI engineering agents.
  • When generating reproducible CSV, SQL DDL, JSON Schema, and Notion property registers for tracking compliance.

How It Works

  1. Define the parameters, thresholds, and identity bindings required for the target operational register.
  2. Select appropriate boundary enforcement values from validated enum select sets.
  3. Export standardized artifacts (CSV table, SQL DDL, JSON Schema) to integrate into validation CI pipelines.

Examples

Prompt

How do I configure and track Smart Contract Formal Verification for our production environment?

Recommended Next Step

Generate the unified field schema, SQL DDL migration, and JSON validation schema to register into your system catalog.

Workflow: Define criteria -> Run automated verification -> Record baseline -> Monitor invariants.

Best Practices

  • Enforce strict typing on numerical bounds and currency amounts; avoid unstructured free-text fields for critical states.
  • Re-run validation test suites on every state-altering commit or parameter change.
  • Keep example data synthetic and isolated from production cryptographic keys or private endpoints.

Limitations

  • Provides architectural specifications, data models, and verification schemas; does not execute direct transaction signing without authorized external tooling.
  • Requires network connectivity and valid RPC credentials when querying on-chain states.

Security & Safety Notes

  • All parameters declare risk: safe. No unauthorized state modification or privileged credential access is performed.
  • Use synthetic dummy keys and mock addresses in test suites and local verification scripts.

Common Pitfalls

  • Problem: Mismatched decimal precision between contract runtime and database register. Solution: Always verify decimals using the explicit field mapping in this reference.
  • Problem: Missing authorization checks prior to state update.

FAQ

What are 'invariants'?

These are rules that must always be true for the contract, like 'the total money in the account can never decrease on its own'.

What is 'symbolic execution'?

It's a way to test the contract with generic values to see all possible paths it can take and if any of them lead to an error.

Can this tool fix my contract?

No, it identifies security issues. The fix needs to be made by the contract developers.
