Stack-agnostic boot-check run as the FINAL step of a behaviour-preserving sweep (/optimize, /audit, /align, /migrate). A green test suite does NOT prove the app still starts — a refactor can break DI wiring, route/handler registration, an import cycle, or config loading that no unit test exercises. This skill actually boots the app (dev server / HTTP server + health probe / CLI invocation / library import) per PROJECT_KIND and FAILS if it doesn't come up. Reuses frontend/skills/dev-server-start/SKILL.md for frontend stacks.

# Skill: smoke-verify ## Purpose Prove the application **still boots** after a behaviour-preserving change. Unit/integration tests pin logic; they do not catch the class of breakage that only surfaces at startup: - broken dependency-injection wiring (a moved/renamed provider no longer resolves), - routes/handlers/commands that silently fail to register, - an import cycle introduced by extracting a module, - config / env loading that throws before the first request, - a build/transpile error in a path no test imports. "Tests are green" + "the app doesn't start" is a real, common post-refactor state. This skill closes that gap. It is the **last** step of a sweep — after the final commit, before reporting success. ## When to use - Dispatched as the final step by `/optimize`, `/audit`, `/align`, `/migrate` (after the last fix commit). - On demand: `verify the app still boots after these changes`. - **Skip** with `--no-boot-check` for pure libraries/SDKs with no runnable entry point. Note that this is rarely the right call: the `library-*` row below (import the package entry) is cheap and catches import cycles, which is the single most common thing an extract-module refactor breaks. `--no-boot-check` is for the case where there is genuinely nothing importable, not for the case where booting is inconvenient. ## Procedure (stack-conditional via PROJECT_KIND) 1. **Resolve the boot command** from `ai/stack.md` § Scripts + `PROJECT_KIND`: | PROJECT_KIND | Boot check | Pass
