Test-driven skill development involves writing baseline failure scenarios before creating the documentation, then applying a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to iteratively refine the AI agent skill until it passes.

The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle for documentation is a testing methodology where you write failing baseline tests, create minimal skill documentation to pass them, and then iteratively refactor for robustness.

To prevent AI agents from bypassing documentation rules under pressure, you apply rationalization countermeasures by testing the skill against new pressures to ensure strict compliance.

Refactoring AI agent skills involves iteratively refining the documentation after passing baseline tests, ensuring it maintains robustness and compliance when subjected to new testing pressures.

Yes, test-driven skill development supports discipline-enforcing, technique, pattern, and reference skill types by providing specific testing strategies tailored to each documentation format.

TDD for documentation may not suit rapidly drafted, low-stakes process notes where iterative baseline testing and rationalization countermeasures add unnecessary overhead to the writing process.
