What it does

Corvus Bowtie Testing is an agent skill from corvus-dotnet/Corvus.JsonSchema. Test Corvus.JsonSchema against the JSON Schema Test Suite using Bowtie, the cross-implementation meta-validator. Covers local package building, configuring a local Bowtie checkout to use locally-built packages, running the test suite via Docker/Podman containers, interpreting results, the iteration loop, and teardown. Both V4 (dotnet-corvus-jsonschema-v4engine) and V5 (dotnet-corvus-jsonschema-v5engine) implementations are supported. USE FOR: running Bowtie conformance suites against local changes, setting up the…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Test generation and Containers. It works with .NET and Docker. The repository describes itself as: Support for Json Schema validation and entity generation. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • : running Bowtie conformance suites against local changes
  • Setting up the local development loop
  • Interpreting Bowtie failure reports
  • Testing schema dialect compliance (Draft 4 through 2020-12)

Example prompts

  • “/corvus-bowtie-testing”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Build local packages
  2. Configure Bowtie for local development
  3. Run the test suite
  4. Teardown

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b9e3040. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip
    • dotnet
    • podman

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.nuget.org

    Also links to:

    • github.com
    • bowtie.report
    • docs.astral.sh

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Corvus Bowtie Testing loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 207 tokens; SKILL.md has 327 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~207
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Test Corvus.JsonSchema against the JSON Schema Test Suite using Bowtie, the cross-implementation meta-validator. Covers local package building, configuring a local Bowtie checkout to use locally-built packages, running the test suite via Docker/Podman containers, interpreting results, the iteration loop, and teardown. Both V4 (dotnet-corvus-jsonschema-v4engine) and V5 (dotnet-corvus-jsonschema-v5engine) implementations are supported. USE FOR: running Bowtie conformance suites against local changes, setting up the local development loop, interpreting Bowtie failure reports, testing schema dialect compliance (Draft 4 through 2020-12). DO NOT USE FOR: running the in-repo MSTest test suite (use corvus-build-and-test), regenerating test classes from the submodule (use corvus-test-suite-regeneration).

Bowtie Testing

Overview

Bowtie is a meta-validator that runs the official JSON Schema Test Suite against multiple implementations. Corvus.JsonSchema has two Bowtie harnesses:

ImplementationPackage
dotnet-corvus-jsonschema-v4engineCorvus.Json.Validator
dotnet-corvus-jsonschema-v5engineCorvus.Text.Json.Validator

Live results: bowtie.report

Prerequisites

  • A local clone of bowtie
  • Podman or Docker on PATH
  • Python 3.13+ with uv (or pip)
Setting up the Bowtie venv

Always run bowtie from the local checkout's venv — not a system-wide install. The checkout may contain fixes not yet released.

powershell
cd D:\source\bowtie
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\pip.exe install -e .
$bowtie = "D:\source\bowtie\.venv\Scripts\bowtie.exe"

Full Workflow

1. Build local packages
powershell
.\build-local-packages.ps1
# Creates local-packages/ with all .nupkg files at version 5.0.0-local.1

To avoid NuGet cache hits after changes, increment the version:

powershell
.\build-local-packages.ps1 -Version 5.0.0-local.2
2. Configure Bowtie for local development
powershell
.\configure-bowtie-for-local-development.ps1 -BowtiePath D:\source\bowtie

This script:

  1. Builds local packages (or reuses existing ones)
  2. Copies .nupkg files into each Bowtie implementation directory
  3. Creates a NuGet.config pointing at the local feed
  4. Patches the .csproj to reference the local package version
  5. Patches the Dockerfile and .dockerignore
  6. Builds the container image via Podman/Docker
3. Run the test suite
powershell
cd D:\source\bowtie
$bowtie = ".\.venv\Scripts\bowtie.exe"

# Run a specific draft against the V5 engine
& $bowtie suite -i localhost/dotnet-corvus-jsonschema-v5engine 2020-12 `
    | & $bowtie summary --show failures

# Run against V4 engine
& $bowtie suite -i localhost/dotnet-corvus-jsonschema-v4engine 2020-12 `
    | & $bowtie summary --show failures

The localhost/ prefix tells Bowtie to use the locally-built image instead of pulling from the registry.

4. Teardown

Revert all Bowtie directory changes:

powershell
.\configure-bowtie-for-local-development.ps1 -BowtiePath D:\source\bowtie -Teardown

This restores original Dockerfile, .csproj, .dockerignore from backups and removes copied packages and NuGet.config.

Iteration Loop

powershell
$bowtie = "D:\source\bowtie\.venv\Scripts\bowtie.exe"

# 1. Make changes to library source

# 2. Teardown previous config
.\configure-bowtie-for-local-development.ps1 -BowtiePath D:\source\bowtie -Teardown

# 3. Rebuild and reconfigure with a new version
.\configure-bowtie-for-local-development.ps1 -BowtiePath D:\source\bowtie -Version 5.0.0-local.2

# 4. Run suite
cd D:\source\bowtie
& $bowtie suite -i localhost/dotnet-corvus-jsonschema-v5engine 2020-12 `
    | & $bowtie summary --show failures

Local Package Building (standalone)

For testing packages in consuming projects (not just Bowtie):

powershell
# Pack everything
.\build-local-packages.ps1

# Pack a single project (faster)
dotnet pack src\Corvus.Text.Json.Migration.Analyzers `
    -c Release -o local-packages /p:Version=5.0.0-local.1

# Clear NuGet cache for a specific package
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.nuget\packages\corvus.text.json"

The consuming project needs a nuget.config with the local feed:

xml
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="local" value="C:\full\path\to\Corvus.JsonSchema\local-packages" />
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

Common Pitfalls

  • NuGet cache: NuGet caches packages by version. Always increment the version suffix (-local.2, -local.3) or clear the cache (Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.nuget\packages\<package-name>") when repacking.
  • System bowtie: Don't use a system-installed bowtie — always use the venv from the local checkout. It may contain critical fixes.
  • Container rebuild: The configure script builds the container image, but if you need to force a rebuild, delete the image first: podman rmi localhost/dotnet-corvus-jsonschema-v5engine.
  • Repo nuget.config: Don't modify the repo's own nuget.config (it uses <clear /> for CI isolation). Add the local source to the consuming project's config.
