+## Formal Verification
+
+WizardMerge includes a formal TLA+ specification that is verified in CI:
+- **Specification**: [spec/WizardMergeSpec.tla](spec/WizardMergeSpec.tla)
+- **CI Workflow**: `.github/workflows/tlc.yml`
+- **Verification Script**: `scripts/tlaplus.py`
+
+The specification is automatically checked on every push to ensure:
+- Syntax correctness
+- Module structure validity  
+- Type checking of invariants and temporal properties
+
+See [scripts/README.md](scripts/README.md) for details on running the verification locally.

+
+TLA+ Model Checker runner for continuous integration.
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/tlaplus.py run
+```
+
+### What it does
+
+1. **Downloads TLA+ Tools**: Automatically downloads the TLA+ tools JAR file (containing TLC model checker and SANY parser) to `.tlaplus/` directory if not already present.
+
+2. **Parses Specification**: Runs the SANY parser on `spec/WizardMergeSpec.tla` to verify:
+   - Syntax correctness
+   - Module structure validity
+   - Type checking
+
+3. **Generates Output**: Saves parsing results to `ci-results/WizardMergeSpec_parse.log`
+
+### CI Integration
+
+This script is used in the `.github/workflows/tlc.yml` GitHub Actions workflow to:
+- Verify the TLA+ specification on every push and pull request
+- Catch syntax errors and structural issues early
+- Provide formal verification that the merge algorithm specification is well-formed
+
+### Note on Model Checking
+
+The WizardMergeSpec is a parametric formal specification that defines constants requiring concrete values for full model checking. This script performs syntax validation and type checking, which is appropriate for CI purposes. Full TLC model checking would require creating test harness modules with specific constant instantiations.
+
+### Requirements
+
+- Python 3.6+
+- Java 11+ (for running TLA+ tools)
+- Internet connection (for initial download of TLA+ tools)
