What problem does it solve? When creating or editing a Codex skill, the standard validation workflow relies on subagent pressure testing, but delegation is often unavailable, policy-gated, or not explicitly authorized. This Skill preserves the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR discipline without violating the active runtime's delegation policy. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Delegation-Aware Validation Decision: Checks whether subagents are explicitly authorized before choosing a validation path, and records why independent pressure testing was unavailable. - Non-Delegated RED-GREEN-REFACTOR: Uses documented real failures or deterministic fixtures for RED, minimal skill edits for GREEN, and cleanup plus re-validation for REFACTOR. - Honest Reporting: Explicitly distinguishes local fixture checks from independent agent pressure testing in the final report. - Use Case: You are editing a skill in a runtime where subagents may only be used on explicit request. This Skill guides you to build deterministic RED fixtures, make the smallest compliant edit, run the skill-creator validator, and report the validation limitation. ## Quick Start Use writing-skills-extras to validate this skill edit without spawning subagents, following the non-delegated RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow.
