Conversational skill that interviews users to design new agentic workflows
Route gh-aw workflow design/create/debug/upgrade requests to the right prompts.
Run AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer on the Z3 test suite to detect memory errors, undefined behavior, and leaks. Logs each finding to z3agent.db.
Measure Z3 performance on a formula or file. Collects wall-clock time, theory solver statistics, memory usage, and conflict counts. Results are logged to z3agent.db for longitudinal tracking.
Translate constraint problems into SMT-LIB2 or Z3 Python API code. Handles common problem classes including scheduling, graph coloring, arithmetic puzzles, and verification conditions.
Parse and interpret Z3 output for human consumption. Handles models, unsat cores, proofs, statistics, and error messages. Translates solver internals into plain-language explanations.

| description | Run Clang Static Analyzer (scan-build) on Z3 source and log structured findings to z3agent.db. |
Run the Clang Static Analyzer over a CMake build of Z3, parse the resulting plist diagnostics, and record each finding with file, line, category, and description. This skill wraps scan-build into a reproducible, logged workflow suitable for regular analysis sweeps and regression tracking.
Action:
Invoke the script pointing at the CMake build directory. The script
runs scan-build cmake .. followed by scan-build make and writes
checker output to the output directory.
Expectation:
scan-build completes within the timeout, producing plist diagnostic
files in the output directory (defaults to a scan-results subdirectory
of the build directory).
Result: On success: diagnostics are parsed and findings are printed. Proceed to Step 2. On failure: verify that clang and scan-build are installed and that the build directory contains a valid CMake configuration.
python3 scripts/static_analysis.py --build-dir build
python3 scripts/static_analysis.py --build-dir build --output-dir /tmp/sa-results --debug
python3 scripts/static_analysis.py --build-dir build --timeout 1800
Action: Review the printed findings and the summary table grouped by category.
Expectation: Each finding shows its source location, category, and description. The summary table ranks categories by frequency for quick triage.
Result: On zero findings: the codebase passes all enabled static checks. On findings: prioritize by category frequency and severity. Address null dereferences and use-after-free classes first.
Example output:
[Dead store] src/ast/ast.cpp:142: Value stored to 'result' is never read
[Null dereference] src/smt/theory_lra.cpp:87: Access to field 'next' results in a dereference of a null pointer
Action: Query z3agent.db to compare current results against prior analysis runs.
Expectation: Queries return category counts and run history, enabling regression detection across commits.
Result: On stable or decreasing counts: no regressions introduced. On increased counts: cross-reference new findings with recent commits to identify the responsible change.
python3 ../../shared/z3db.py query "SELECT category, COUNT(*) as cnt FROM findings WHERE run_id IN (SELECT run_id FROM runs WHERE skill='static-analysis') GROUP BY category ORDER BY cnt DESC"
python3 ../../shared/z3db.py runs --skill static-analysis --last 10
