What problem does it solve? Changes to the dharma_swarm spine (EvidenceReceipt, RoutingDecision, invoke_agent, and the sqlite anti-accretion gate) can silently corrupt every downstream receipt, and this Skill provides a repeatable procedure to verify both the happy path and that the gate still rejects violations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Spine acceptance tests: Runs pytest against tests/test_dispatch_dropoff_sources.py covering the five doctrine §11 dispatch dropoff scenarios. - Bidirectional gate testing: Verifies tools/spine_check.py both rejects undeclared sqlite imports (exit 1) and passes files with a proper # spine: header (exit 0), including temp-file cleanup. - Type invariant checks: Validates EvidenceReceipt frozen immutability, OTel span export shape, and JSON round-trip serialization. - Use Case: After editing dharma_swarm/spine/ or tools/spine_check.py, run this Skill to confirm acceptance tests pass, the gate still rejects violations, and adjacent regression suites (telic seam, task board, A2A) match a same-session baseline. ## Quick Start Run the spine test procedure to verify my changes to dharma_swarm/spine/ and confirm the anti-accretion gate still rejects undeclared sqlite imports.
