Verifying contracts-engine changes

The engine is the MCP server at ../../servers/documents/src/index.mjs — plain runnable .mjs, no build step; the source IS the shipped artifact. Most changes are drivable without a full /contracts session by speaking JSON-RPC to the server over stdio.

  • Typecheck: cd ../../servers/documents && bun run check (tsc over the .mjs via checkJs). There is no bundle; edits to src are live immediately.
  • Data: ~/.claude/data/healthcare/documents/data.sqlite — the dir is the *server's* name (documents), not the skill's (contracts); shared across checkouts; safe to delete — schema v-check tells users to do the same. For throwaway runs point CLAUDE_HEALTHCARE_DATA at a scratch PARENT dir (the server appends documents/) — never drive tests against the live db. Corpus names live in corpus_documents.corpus; query before assuming.
  • CLI mode: node ../../servers/documents/src/index.mjs <tool> '<json-args>' runs one tool call without MCP — result JSON on stdout, exit 1 + stderr on error. Bare invocation is MCP stdio.
  • Schema changes: views and triggers are dropped/recreated on every open, so editing one reaches existing databases for free. Dropping a *column* is breaking — it needs a SCHEMA_VERSION bump and forces every user to delete their db. Verify either kind by opening the real db read-only afterwards and checking PRAGMA user_version did not move.
  • Concurrency changes need racing, not single runs: spawn ≥16 servers with & under /bin/bash (zsh backgrounding under the CC sandbox emits bogus nice(5) failures), fresh AND warm db, ≥60 trials each. Desktop-side repro evidence: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/main.log, grep LocalMcpServerManager.
  • Tool schemas must be JSON Schema draft 2020-12. The API validates them when an *agent* spawns, so a bad schema shows up as "agent terminated early: input_schema is invalid" — never as a server error, and never in a plain tools/list. Two zod idioms silently emit draft-07: z.tuple([...]) (array-form items → use z.array().length(n)) and z.union([...])/.nullish() on primitives (type: [...] → use .optional() or one type). servers/documents/test/schema.test.ts guards this; run bun test after touching any tool's inputSchema, and spawn a real agent (claude --plugin-dir <plugin> -p "spawn subagent_type 'healthcare:documents-reader-cli' …" --allowedTools Agent) after changing agent tool lists.
  • MCP smoke: pipe initializenotifications/initializedtools/list / tools/call lines into node ../../servers/documents/src/index.mjs and read the JSON-RPC replies. A sequential client (write line, read reply) avoids out-of-order confusion. Core chain worth driving after engine changes: corpus_prepare (temp dir with a .txt) → write runs/briefsfind with cites: [{doc_id, lines, has}] (expect one citation per cite, kind:"exact") AND a bogus has (expect the row rejected, batch intact) → coverage. The CLI takes <tool> - with JSON on stdin, which is how workers send document text without shell escaping.
  • Sweep is sweep.mjs (no agent loop, one toolless extraction per doc — verify it with --limit 2 against a scratch CLAUDE_HEALTHCARE_DATA db; also pass --groups with one 2-doc family JSON and expect family:<label> workers in shard_coverage); reader agents handle only the rescue pass and no-CLI surfaces, as plain parallel Agent calls in one message (10-wide, getMaxToolUseConcurrency). To check parallelism after a real run: sql "SELECT worker, min(created_at), max(created_at) FROM findings WHERE run_id='<id>' GROUP BY worker" — the windows should overlap, not chain end-to-start.
  • SKILL.md / agents/documents-reader-*.md prose changes: no cheap harness — check internal consistency (tool names match the server's tools/list, referenced file paths exist) and, for protocol changes, drive at least the mechanical tool calls the prose mandates exactly as written.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take anthropics/healthcare-verify from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
