skill-testing

To pressure-test agent compliance, you simulate failing pressure scenarios and load a testing framework to validate rule adherence. This structured workflow hardens agent behavior under pressure, ensuring rules are followed and preventing rationalizations or bypasses.

A rationalization table in TDD-driven agent testing catalogs red flags and logical bypasses an agent uses to avoid rules. It guides consistent testing across multi-agent scenarios by mapping these rationalizations for detection during the REFACTOR phase.

You apply RED GREEN REFACTOR cycles by observing failures in the RED phase, implementing fixes in the GREEN phase, and refactoring for new rationalizations. This cycle verifies multi-agent behavior and ensures reproducible test artifacts for compliance validation.

Yes, you can use skill-testing frameworks for end-to-end harness planning. The framework includes meta-testing and references to practical pressure scenarios, integrating with an E2E harness to validate skill reliability and document agent compliance explicitly.

The best way to detect agent rationalizations under pressure is using a structured testing workflow with rationalization tables and red flags. This approach requires explicit documentation and mandatory checks to validate skill effectiveness and catch rule bypasses.
