Fix and improve this skill with Tessl
tessl review fix ./.github/skills/explain/SKILL.mdGiven raw Z3 output (from the solve, prove, optimize, or benchmark skills), produce a structured explanation. This skill is for cases where the solver output is large, nested, or otherwise difficult to read directly.
Action: Determine the category of Z3 output to explain: model, core, statistics, error, or proof.
Expectation: The output type maps to one of the recognized formats in the table below.
Result:
If the type is ambiguous, use --type auto and let the script detect it.
Proceed to Step 2.
| Output contains | Explanation type |
|---|---|
(define-fun ...) blocks | model explanation |
| unsat core labels | conflict explanation |
:key value statistics | performance breakdown |
(error ...) | error diagnosis |
| proof terms | proof sketch |
Action: Invoke explain.py with the output file or stdin.
Expectation: The script auto-detects the output type and produces a structured plain-language summary.
Result:
A formatted explanation is printed. If detection fails, re-run with
an explicit --type flag.
python3 scripts/explain.py --file output.txt
python3 scripts/explain.py --stdin < output.txt
python3 scripts/explain.py --file output.txt --debugAction: Review the structured explanation for accuracy and completeness.
Expectation: Models list each variable with its value and sort. Cores list conflicting assertions. Statistics show time and memory breakdowns.
Result: Use the explanation to answer the user query or to guide the next skill invocation.
For models:
For unsat cores:
For statistics:
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| file | path | no | file containing Z3 output | |
| stdin | flag | no | off | read from stdin |
| type | string | no | auto | force output type: model, core, stats, error |
| debug | flag | no | off | verbose tracing |
| db | path | no | .z3-agent/z3agent.db | logging database |
