Formal Agent Contracts: Bring Mathematical Rigor to Multi-Agent Development with a Claude Code Plugin

Dev.to AI
Generative AI

When multiple AI agents collaborate on a system, something always goes wrong at the boundaries. Agent A assumes one format, Agent B expects another, and the bug surfaces three layers deep at 2 AM. We've all been there. Formal Agent Contracts is a Claude Code plugin that attacks this problem head-on. It lets you define precise, machine-verifiable contracts between agents using VDM-SL (Vienna Development Method - Specification Language), then automatically verify, prove, and generate code from those contracts. The twist: you don't need to know VDM-SL at all.
