Getting Started with CodeLogician

CodeLogician helps AI coding agents reason about complex software using math and logic.

Instead of relying purely on statistical reasoning from LLMs, CodeLogician introduces a logical reasoning layer that can:

  • discover edge cases
  • verify system invariants
  • explore behavioral boundaries
  • generate high-coverage test cases

Choose Your Interface

CodeLogician can be used through several interfaces depending on your workflow.

Recommended starting point: codelogician CLI

This lightweight shell interface lets coding agents invoke CodeLogician without installing Python dependencies.


CodeLogician CLI Installation

To install the CodeLogician CLI:

curl -fsSL codelogician.dev/codelogician/install.sh | sh

Or install with pip (requires Python 3.12+):

pip install codelogician

Then verify the installation:

codelogician --help

Typical CodeLogician CLI Workflow

You, or your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, …):

  • Learn the IML language and ImandraX reasoning engine using codelogician doc
  • Convert source code into formal models
  • Run reasoning with the codelogician eval command (prove properties, find counterexamples, decompose function state-space, …)
  • Inspect proofs, counterexamples, generated tests, and artifacts

What CodeLogician Provides

CodeLogician combines LLM generation with logical reasoning.

Key capabilities include:

  • Automated reasoning using the ImandraX engine
  • Formal verification of critical logic
  • Counterexample discovery when assumptions fail
  • Behavioral decomposition of complex systems
  • Test generation based on real execution boundaries
