formal-verificationA skill your agent uses when applying formal verification to Solidity contracts using Certora CVL or Halmos symbolic testing.
Formal Verification is an agent skill from ccashwell/evm-cortex. Use when applying formal verification to Solidity contracts using Certora CVL or Halmos symbolic testing. Covers specification writing, rule types, ghost variables, hooks, and common verification patterns.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Smart contracts and Brand voice and tone. It works with Solidity. The repository describes itself as: Ethereum protocol engineering squad for AI coding assistants. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f8f3301. 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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pipFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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.
Formal Verification loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 177 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

A skill your agent uses when applying formal verification to Solidity contracts using Certora CVL or Halmos symbolic testing. Formal Verification is an agent skill from ccashwell/evm-cortex. Use when applying formal verification to Solidity contracts using Certora CVL or Halmos symbolic testing.
Formal Verification fits situations like: applying formal verification to Solidity contracts using Certora CVL; halmos symbolic testing.
Run `npx skills add ccashwell/evm-cortex --skill formal-verification -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/formal-verification in ccashwell/evm-cortex) into .claude/skills/formal-verification in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ccashwell/evm-cortex --skill formal-verification -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/formal-verification in ccashwell/evm-cortex) into .agents/skills/formal-verification 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 ccashwell/evm-cortex --skill formal-verification -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/formal-verification, .gemini/skills/formal-verification, .github/skills/formal-verification and .opencode/skills/formal-verification in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Formal Verification needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pip). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. 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. Review the folder before installing.
Formal Verification is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Formal Verification: Fizz Convert (pashov/skills, 1.2k stars), Feynman Auditor (0xiehnnkta/nemesis-auditor, 243 stars), Smart Contract Audit (greatpie/smart-contract-audit-skill, 101 stars) and Radar (Auditware/radar, 154 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
