SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a structured, test-first verification workflow to ensure swarm changes (patterns, skills, handoffs, or agent behavior) are validated before implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

Define the behavior being changed and its acceptance criteria.
Write a failing checklist or fixture before making changes.
Implement the smallest change that makes the verification pass and record regression coverage.
Capture a clear verification gate and evidence to prevent regressions.

Quick Start

Run a minimal, failing verification test for a new change, then implement the smallest fix to satisfy it and log regression coverage.

FAQPage Schema

How do I verify swarm pattern changes before implementation?▼

Verify swarm pattern changes using a test-first discipline by defining the behavior being changed, writing a failing checklist or fixture, and implementing the smallest change to pass verification.

What is test-driven swarm development for agent handoffs?▼

Test-driven swarm development for agent handoffs is a structured workflow that validates changes to agent behavior, patterns, or skills by enforcing a defined process and outputting a structured verification contract.

How do I prevent regressions when modifying swarm agent behavior?▼

Prevent regressions when modifying swarm agent behavior by capturing a clear verification gate and documenting regression guards and evidence requirements after implementing the smallest change that passes the failing test.

Can I use test-first verification for planner, executor, reviewer, and debugger roles?▼

Yes, test-first verification applies across planner, executor, reviewer, and debugger roles in projects where new skills, patterns, or handoffs are introduced or modified.

What's the best way to document regression coverage for new swarm skills?▼

The best way to document regression coverage for new swarm skills is to run a minimal failing verification test, implement the smallest fix to satisfy it, and log the regression coverage as a structured verification contract.

When do I need a structured verification contract for swarm changes?▼

You need a structured verification contract for swarm changes when introducing or modifying new skills, patterns, or handoffs to ensure all changes are validated before implementation and prevent future regressions.
