counterexample-explainer

Explain why counterexamples violate specifications by analyzing formal specifications (temporal logic, invariants, pre/postconditions, code contracts), informal requirements (user stories, acceptance criteria), test specifications (assertions, property-based tests), and providing step-by-step traces showing state changes, comparing expected vs actual behavior, identifying root causes, and assessing violation impact. Use when debugging test failures, understanding model checker output, explaining runtime assertion violations, analyzing static analysis warnings, or teaching specification concepts. Produces structured markdown explanations with traces, comparisons, state diagrams, and cause chains. Triggers when users ask why something failed, explain a violation, understand a counterexample, debug a specification, or analyze why a test fails.

# Counterexample Explainer

## Overview

Analyze counterexamples that violate specifications and produce clear, structured explanations showing step-by-step how and why the violation occurs, with root cause analysis and impact assessment.

## Workflow

### 1. Understand the Specification

Identify what property is being checked.

**Questions to ask:**
- What is the specification or requirement?
