SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The skill helps teams apply test-driven development to process documentation so skills are verifiable before use.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD for documentation: apply red-green-refactor discipline to writing and validating process guides.
  • Baseline verification: capture failure cases and rationalizations to prevent future missteps.
  • Iterative refinement: update skills based on test outcomes and real usage.

Quick Start

Create a baseline pressure scenario, implement the Skill, and verify it passes by repeatedly performing the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply TDD to process documentation?

To apply TDD to process documentation, you use a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow to write and validate skills. You first create a baseline pressure scenario to capture failure cases, implement the documentation, and verify it passes.

What is rationalization prevention in skill writing?

Rationalization prevention in skill writing is a discipline-first approach that captures baseline failure cases and rationalizations. It ensures process documentation is verifiable before use and prevents future missteps by applying anti-rationalization patterns.

How do I create baseline tests for process documentation?

You create baseline tests for process documentation by capturing specific failure cases and rationalizations during a pressure scenario. These baseline tests act as verification checkpoints within the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to validate the skill before use.

Can I use test-driven development to verify process guides before use?

Yes, you can use test-driven development to verify process guides before use by applying a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow. This approach requires baseline tests and iterative refinement based on test outcomes to ensure documentation is verifiable.

How does iterative refinement work for skill creation?

Iterative refinement for skill creation works by updating process documentation based on test outcomes and real usage. By repeatedly performing the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle, skills are continuously improved and validated against baseline tests.

What are the limitations of using TDD for documentation?

A limitation of using TDD for documentation is that it requires strict adherence to the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow and baseline pressure scenarios. Without capturing specific failure cases and rationalizations, the discipline-first approach cannot effectively prevent future missteps.
