move-smith-fuzzer Skill

"Find bugs before they find your users. Fuzzing as validation."

Overview

Move Smith Fuzzer implements property-based testing and fuzzing for Move smart contracts. Uses MoveSmith's differential testing against multiple Move VMs to find consensus-breaking bugs.

GF(3) Role

Aspect	Value
Trit	-1 (MINUS)
Role	VALIDATOR
Function	Validates Move contracts via fuzz testing

  • Universal graph hub

Bibliography References

• general: 734 citations in bib.duckdb

Cat# Integration

This skill maps to Cat# = Comod(P) as a bicomodule in the Prof home:

Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof (profunctors/bimodules)
Poly Op: ⊗ (parallel composition)
Kan Role: Adj (adjunction bridge)

GF(3) Naturality

The skill participates in triads where:

(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)

This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
