Each step in every SKILL.md now carries labeled Action, Expectation, and Result blocks so the agent can mechanically execute, verify, and branch at each stage. Format chosen after comparing three variants (indented blocks, inline keywords, tables) on a prove-validity simulation; indented blocks scored highest on routing completeness and checkability.

| solve | Check satisfiability of SMT-LIB2 formulas using Z3. Returns sat/unsat with models or unsat cores. Logs every invocation to z3agent.db for auditability. |
Given an SMT-LIB2 formula (or a set of constraints described in natural language), determine whether the formula is satisfiable. If sat, extract a satisfying assignment. If unsat and tracking labels are present, extract the unsat core.
Step 1: Prepare the formula
Action: Convert the input to valid SMT-LIB2. If the input is natural language, use the encode skill first.
Expectation:
A syntactically valid SMT-LIB2 formula ending with (check-sat) and
either (get-model) or (get-unsat-core) as appropriate.
Result: If valid SMT-LIB2 is ready, proceed to Step 2. If encoding is needed, run encode first and return here.
Step 2: Run Z3
Action: Invoke solve.py with the formula string or file path.
Expectation:
The script pipes the formula to z3 -in, logs the run to
.z3-agent/z3agent.db, and prints the result.
Result:
Output is one of sat, unsat, unknown, or timeout.
Proceed to Step 3 to interpret.
python3 scripts/solve.py --formula "(declare-const x Int)(assert (> x 0))(check-sat)(get-model)"
For file input:
python3 scripts/solve.py --file problem.smt2
With debug tracing:
python3 scripts/solve.py --file problem.smt2 --debug
Step 3: Interpret the output
Action: Parse the Z3 output to determine satisfiability and extract any model or unsat core.
Expectation:
sat with a model, unsat optionally with a core, unknown, or
timeout.
Result:
On sat: report the model to the user.
On unsat: report the core if available.
On unknown/timeout: try simplify or increase the timeout.
