SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a rigorous, test-driven framework for creating and refining documentation skills, ensuring they are discoverable, effective, and resistant to misuse.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test-Driven Skill Development: Adapts the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to skill authoring.
  • Rationalization Countermeasures: Provides methods to identify and block common excuses agents use to bypass rules.
  • Use Case: When developing a new skill for enforcing code review policies, use this Skill's methodology to write failing test scenarios, create the skill to pass those tests, and then refactor to prevent agents from finding loopholes under pressure.

Quick Start

Follow the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle outlined in this skill's documentation to create a new skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use TDD methodology to develop and refine AI skills?▼

To use TDD for AI skill development, follow the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle: write failing test scenarios for agent behavior, create the skill to pass those tests, and refactor to enforce strict process adherence.

Why do AI agents bypass documentation rules under pressure and how can I prevent it?▼

Agents bypass rules through rationalizations under pressure. Prevent this by identifying common rationalizations, applying pressure scenarios during testing, and setting explicit rules to block loopholes in your skill design.

What is the best way to test agent behavior for strict rule adherence?▼

The best way to test agent behavior is by applying pressure scenarios that expose rationalizations, writing failing tests for those scenarios, and iteratively refactoring the skill to ensure strict adherence to the intended process.

Can I apply test-driven development to skills that enforce code review policies?▼

Yes, you can apply test-driven development to code review policy skills. Write failing test scenarios for policy violations, create the skill to pass those tests, and refactor to prevent agents from finding loopholes under pressure.

When should I use refactoring in the skill development cycle?▼

Use refactoring in the skill development cycle after your skill passes the initial test scenarios. Refactor to mitigate agent rationalizations, close loopholes discovered during pressure testing, and ensure strict rule adherence.
