Protocol specifications as Python code

Wunderspec

Wunderspec is a Python DSL for writing and checking executable specifications.

Distributed systems often fail due to unforeseen issues: message reordering, race condition, stale observations, retry behavior, crashes and restarts, network outages, vibe code. Adding more example tests is often not enough to find these bugs before they make it to production. Specifications written in Wunderspec surface these issues early, so that teams find design flaws before they become production incidents.

This is the open-core distribution.

📋 Wunderspec in 5 minutes: the [Wunderspec in Five Minutes][five-minutes] gives you a quick overview of the core concepts.

📋 Cheatsheet: the Wunderspec cheatsheet summarizes the DSL and CLI in a few pages — keep it open while you work.

1. Wunderspec in Action

Follow Bob in his Wunderspec adventure. There, Bob writes a specification of a write-ahead log, finds a bug, replays the counterexample and fixes the specification.

2. Installation

Using uv:

uv tool install wunderspec

After installation, the CLI is available:

wunderspec --help

If you want to add Wunderspec as a dependency, just type:
