Specification synthesis, the task of automatically inferring formal specifications from program implementations and natural language, is important for refactoring, transpilation, optimization, and verification, yet remains an open challenge for large C++ repositories. Existing LLM-based approaches fail to simultaneously scale to such repositories, produce specifications expressive enough to capture systems-code features such as dynamic memory and heap-allocated data structures, and systematically validate those specifications to rule out incorrect candidates. We present Spec-Agent, an agentic system for synthesizing expressive, well-validated specifications across large C++ codebases. Spec-Agent targets a ladder of specification languages: propositional logic, first-order logic, propositional separation logic, and first-order separation logic. For each function, Spec-Agent uses static analysis and runtime heap tracing to select the appropriate target specification language, generalizes existing functional tests into fuzz harnesses, and iteratively refines LLM-generated candidates via counterexample-guided feedback. We evaluate Spec-Agent on open source C++ codebases comprising millions of lines of code. Spec-Agent synthesizes valid specifications for 85% of target functions, with no false positives observed under fuzzing and expert validation, outperforming Claude Code Opus 4.6 at 10x lower token cost.
