@5e58100

Apply semi-formal certificate reasoning to code analysis — patch verification, fault localization, patch equivalence. Use when reviewing patches, hunting bugs across scopes, comparing fixes, or when code reasoning requires tracing execution across files/modules. Triggers on code review, bug localization, patch comparison, name shadowing, scope analysis, regression checking.

Semi-Formal Code Reasoning

Structured certificate templates for code analysis, based on Ugare & Chandra (2026).

Provenance

  • Paper: Ugare & Chandra, "Agentic Code Reasoning with Semi-Formal Certificates" (arXiv:2603.01896, March 2026)
  • Replication: Django name-shadowing (0%→100% fault localization), 3 real bugs (+11pp aggregate)
  • CVE validation: CVE-2026-29000 (pac4j-jwt, 383 lines). Haiku: +20pp with template. Sonnet: -20pp with template.
  • Finding: Template value is model-capability-dependent. Scaffolding helps weaker models; it becomes overhead for stronger ones.

Structure

File Audience Purpose
SKILL.md All models Thin router: skip conditions + model-tier routing
sonnet.md Sonnet/Opus 3 compact verification checkpoints
haiku.md Haiku Full procedural templates with worked examples
