static-reasoning-verifierVerify code correctness statically against specifications using type checking, contract verification, and formal methods.
Static Reasoning Verifier is an agent skill from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. 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 against formal specifications, (4) Ensuring code quality and correctness before runtime, (5) Finding potential bugs through static analysis. Supports Python (mypy, contracts), Java (javac, JML), and…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/java_jml.md`, `references/python_contracts.md` and `scripts/verify_java.py`).
It sits in Development, covering Type safety. It works with Java, Python and C++. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of 180+ useful Claude Skills for Software Engineering and resources for customizing AI for SE workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.
12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f38503. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonmakeFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Static Reasoning Verifier loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 153 tokens; SKILL.md has 330 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Verify code correctness statically against specifications using type checking, contract verification, and formal methods. Static Reasoning Verifier is an agent skill from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. Verify code correctness statically against specifications using type checking, contract verification, and formal methods.
Static Reasoning Verifier fits situations like: verifying type safety and null safety in Python; checking design-by-contract specifications (preconditions; validating code against formal specifications; ensuring code quality and correctness before runtime.
Run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill static-reasoning-verifier -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/static-reasoning-verifier in ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE) into .claude/skills/static-reasoning-verifier in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill static-reasoning-verifier -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/static-reasoning-verifier in ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE) into .agents/skills/static-reasoning-verifier in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill static-reasoning-verifier -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/static-reasoning-verifier, .gemini/skills/static-reasoning-verifier, .github/skills/static-reasoning-verifier and .opencode/skills/static-reasoning-verifier in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Static Reasoning Verifier needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python and make). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Static Reasoning Verifier is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 12k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 3.9k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Static Reasoning Verifier: MCP Debugger (debugmcp/mcp-debugger, 172 stars), Dbg (theodo-group/debug-that, 158 stars), Code Review Excellence (andrew-yangy/gru-ai, 155 stars) and Code Reviewer (alirezarezvani/claude-skills, 28k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
