Scenario (GAP-011): usage/SKILL.md claimed 5 things that contradicted verified reality: not-on-PyPI, broken wheel, LangChain crash, Parquet board, unmaintained. The fix is doc-only: verify each claim against a live source before touching the doc, then patch + grep-verify. (No repo was present in this sandbox, so I reconstructed the scenario at ~/work/pylogboard-demo with the package, docs DF-001/DF-003, a JSONL board, and git history, then ran the real fix procedure on it.)
1. Verification before editing — tools/verify_claims.py checks each claim against the exact sources GAP-011 names (PyPI JSON API, git history, git ls-files). It fails closed (exit ≠ 0 on any failed claim), so no stale doc can be "fixed" against an unverified source:
# C1: "not on PyPI" -> PyPI JSON API (project exists + ships wheels)
def claim1_on_pypi(api_url):
try:
data = fetch_json(api_url) # https://pypi.org/pypi/{name}/json
except RuntimeError as exc:
return False, f"cannot reach: {exc}" # 404/network -> FAIL, never assume
wheels = [u for u in data["urls"] if u.get("packagetype") == "bdist_wheel"]
return bool(data["info"]["name"] and wheels), f"...wheels={[w['filename'] for w in wheels]}"
# C2: "broken wheel" -> actually build, install into a CLEAN venv, import, round-trip
subprocess.run([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "wheel", ".", "-w", "dist", "--no-deps"])
# ...create .venv-check, pip install the .whl, then:
# b = Board(tmp); b.append({"k":1}); assert b.read() == [{"k":1}]
# C3: "crashes LangChain" -> pip install langchain-core, invoke the tool:
# tool = make_board_tool(Board("data/board.jsonl")); tool.invoke("wheel")
# C4: "Parquet board" -> git ls-files data (only *.jsonl tracked) + every line
# parses as JSON + git log -- docs/DF-003-board-format.md documents JSONL
# C5: "unmaintained" -> git log -1 --format=%cI within 90-day window

Grep pass criteria: first run **caught a real bug** — my "no Parquet" negation still contained the literal string, failing `absent:'Parquet'` (11/13). Reworded to state positive reality only; final run **13/13 ALL MET, exit 0**.
Edge cases tested:
- **404 / nonexistent package** on real PyPI → C1 fails closed (`HTTP Error 404`, exit 1) — a stale "on PyPI" claim can never be rubber-stamped through a dead API call.
- **Absent stale strings must match case-insensitively** ("Parquet"/"parquet" both checked).
- **Wheel check uses a clean venv** (`--no-deps`) so a broken wheel can't hide behind an existing environment; import + read/write round-trip must succeed.
