This skill addresses the common pitfalls in TLA+ modeling, such as weak invariants, unsound liveness properties, and abstraction gaps that hide critical system bugs.
Use the tla-audit skill to perform a comprehensive review of the current specification file and identify potential soundness issues.

To audit TLA+ specifications for weak invariants and unsound liveness, perform a systematic review of safety and liveness properties. This process evaluates property strength to ensure invariants are not vacuously true or overly permissive, preventing hidden system bugs.
Abstraction fidelity in TLA+ model checking compares model actions against real-world code to identify dangerous simplifications. Detecting abstraction gaps like missing crash recovery logic or atomic reads prevents critical system bugs from being hidden by overly simplified specifications.
Fix TLC false positives from incomplete Next relations by performing a structural audit of your TLA+ specification. This validates variable priming, initialization, and completeness of the Next relation to ensure the model checker evaluates the full state space accurately.
Formal verification of TLA+ specs requires deep analysis of TLC configurations and state space constants. Evaluating these configurations alongside refinement mappings is necessary to identify potential modeling errors and ensure real-world fidelity.
Relying solely on TLC model checking for TLA+ safety properties can mask dangerous simplifications and unsound liveness. Without evaluating abstraction fidelity and property strength, models may produce false positives or hide critical bugs like missing crash recovery logic.
