# Counterexample-Guided Refinement

## Purpose

Provides expert guidance on CEGAR (Counterexample-Guided Abstraction Refinement) for verification and synthesis.

## Capabilities

- Counterexample analysis
- Predicate abstraction refinement
- Interpolation-based refinement
- Abstraction refinement loop management
- Convergence analysis
- Spurious counterexample detection

## Usage Guidelines

1. **Initial Abstraction**: Define initial abstraction
2. **Verification**: Check abstract model
3. **Counterexample Analysis**: Analyze counterexamples
4. **Refinement**: Refine abstraction if spurious
5. **Iteration**: Repeat until verified or real counterexample
