What Server API Change Verification does

Server API Change Verification verifies server and API changes by starting a server, sending curled requests that hit changed code paths, and comparing the full response to expected behavior. Use it when reviewing code changes to confirm new headers, status codes, or rate-limit behavior actually work.

Server API Change Verification is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Server API Change Verification comes from a repository tagged claude-code, claude-code-system-prompts and system-prompts.

Documentation

README

Verifying a server/API change

The handle is curl (or equivalent). The evidence is the response.

Pattern

  1. Start the server (background, with a readiness poll — see below)
  2. curl the route the diff touches, with inputs that hit the changed branch
  3. Capture the full response (status + headers + body)
  4. Compare to expected

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
