verify (local runtime for apps/api)

SkillAI & models

Run the real Node server against a throwaway SQLite to observe API behavior end-to-end (no Docker needed — faster than deploy/compose.yml for a verification loop):

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the verify (local runtime for apps/api) skill

About this capability

Review and approval for work made by AI agents. Fair Source, self-hostable, and MCP-native.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by derive-to/derive in .claude/skills/verify/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Run the real Node server against a throwaway SQLite to observe API behavior end-to-end (no Docker needed — faster than deploy/compose.yml for a verification loop):

DATA_DIR=<scratch-dir> PORT=8791 DERIVE_TOKEN=devtok BASE_URL=http://localhost:8791 \
  pnpm --filter @derive/api exec tsx src/node.ts
  • Health: curl localhost:8791/healthz{"ok":true}. The boot log's meta: line names the exact SQLite path — always confirm it's your scratch dir, never a remote DB.
  • Publish via HTTP: curl -X POST localhost:8791/v1/artifacts -H "authorization: Bearer devtok" -F 'file=@-;filename=index.html;type=text/html' -F 'title=T' <<< '<h1>x</h1>'
  • Preview screenshots: add DERIVE_PREVIEWS=true (needs Playwright Chromium — usually already in ~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright; else pnpm --filter @derive/api exec playwright install chromium). The worker ticks every 1.5s; /v1/og/<short_id> flips from SVG fallback to PNG when the render lands. version.preview_status / render_job in the scratch derive.db show pipeline state.
  • The bundled SPA serves at / but needs a signup; API-level checks (/v1/artifacts, /v1/og/:id) cover most verification without a browser session.
