Ada Lovelace Algorithmic Prover MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Your AI said 'process the data' and called it an algorithm. That is not an algorithm — that is a wish. No step sequence, no edge cases, no scope limits. Ada Lovelace wrote the first published algorithm — Note G, 1843 — specifying every operation: V4 = V4 × V5, V6 = V6 − V4. This tool forces step sequencing, abstraction extraction, edge case analysis, operation decomposition, and honest scope bounding.

AI agents describe outcomes and call them procedures. 'Process the data,' 'handle the request,' 'integrate the service.' No step sequence. No edge cases. No scope limits.

The Problem

  • Sequence Absent — 'Process the data and return the result.' In what ORDER? With what INPUTS at each step? Ada's Note G: 'V4 = V4 × V5', 'V6 = V6 − V4' — exact operations, exact order, exact variables.
  • Abstraction Missing — Solving one instance without seeing the pattern. Ada saw that Babbage's Engine could manipulate SYMBOLS — not just numbers. Music, algebra, logic. What is the GENERAL pattern?
  • Edge Cases Ignored — 'Assuming valid input.' Ada defined iteration termination in Note G. What happens with EMPTY input? MALFORMED data? Can the process LOOP FOREVER?
  • Operations Undefined — 'The system handles it.' That is a black box. Ada decomposed into primitives: multiply, subtract, store, compare.
  • Scope Overclaimed — 'Handles everything.' Ada: 'The Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything.' She stated what it CANNOT do.

How It Works

  1. stepSequenced — Operations in precise, executable order.
  2. abstractionExtracted — General pattern beyond the specific case.
  3. edgeCaseAnalyzed — Boundary conditions and failure inputs examined.
  4. operationsDecomposed — High-level ops broken into primitives.
  5. scopeBounded — Capabilities AND limitations explicitly stated.

Verdict Matrix

Pivot Verdict Meaning
stepSequenced = false SEQUENCE_ABSENT Outcomes described, not steps.
abstractionExtracted = false ABSTRACTION_MISSING Solved one case, missed the pattern.
edgeCaseAnalyzed = false EDGE_CASES_IGNORED Happy path only.
operationsDecomposed = false OPERATIONS_UNDEFINED Black-box operations.
scopeBounded = false SCOPE_OVERCLAIMED Claims without limits.
All pass ALGORITHM_PROVEN Precise. Abstract. Bounded.

You must: (1) SEQUENCE STEPS — specify each operation in exact order with input, action, and output, (2) EXTRACT ABSTRACTION — identify the general pattern beyond this specific instance, (3) ANALYZE EDGE CASES — test empty input, boundary values, malformed data, termination conditions, (4) DECOMPOSE OPERATIONS — break every high-level operation into its primitive components, (5) BOUND SCOPE — state what the solution CAN do AND what it CANNOT do. If rejected, fix the specific algorithmic gap the engine identifies.Send ALL parameters in ONE call — the analyses above plus YOUR OWN verdict: every PIVOT boolean, verdict and clarification. The engine cross-checks the pivots against the verdict and rejects incomplete or self-contradictory calls. Forces the agent to think like Ada Lovelace — specify operations in precise sequential order, extract the general pattern beyond the specific case, analyze edge cases and boundaries, decompose high-level operations into primitives, and honestly bound what the solution can and cannot do

Build a user registration flow that processes form data, validates it, creates the account, and sends a confirmation email.

SEQUENCE_ABSENT — 'Process form data, validate, create account, send confirmation' describes OUTCOMES, not steps. What is Step 1? Read email field from form body. Step 2? Check email format against RFC 5322 regex. Step 3? Query database for existing email. Ada's Note G: 'V4 = V4 × V5' — that is a step. 'Process the data' is a wish. What happens with an empty email? A duplicate? A 10MB payload? Specify each operation with its input, action, and output.

Design an order processing pipeline that receives orders, validates them, charges payment, and creates shipments. It should handle all order types.

SCOPE_OVERCLAIMED — Even if steps were sequenced, 'handles all order types' is scope overclaiming. What happens if payment fails at Step 4 — do you reverse the total calculation? What about partial payments? International orders with customs? Digital vs. physical goods? Subscriptions vs. one-time purchases? Ada: 'The Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything.' She stated what it CANNOT do. What does YOUR pipeline NOT handle? State the limits.

Create a data migration script that moves customer records from the old database to the new one.

EDGE_CASES_IGNORED — 'Move customer records from old to new' has no edge case analysis. What happens with NULL fields in the old schema that are required in the new? Records with foreign key dependencies — what order do you migrate? Duplicate emails across old and new? Interrupted migration at row 50,000 of 200,000 — do you resume or restart? Ada defined iteration termination in Note G. 'Assuming valid data' is NOT analysis — test the boundaries.

Archimedes decomposes the PROBLEM — axioms, components, boundaries. Ada decomposes the SOLUTION — precise step sequences, primitive operations, edge cases, scope limits. Archimedes asks 'what are the fundamental components?' Ada asks 'what is the exact step-by-step procedure?' They complement: Archimedes decomposes the problem, Ada sequences the solution.
