To enforce Test-Driven Development for agent skills documentation, apply the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to mandate baseline failure testing, minimal skill writing, and loophole closure through explicit rationalization counters.

Preventing agents from bypassing documentation requires implementing rationalization countermeasures using explicit counters and tables that address common excuses for skipping testing or compliance steps.

Apply the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle by first running scenarios without the skill to document mistakes, then writing the skill to prevent those failures, and finally testing under pressure to ensure documentation compliance.

Yes, test-driven skill development works for discipline-enforcing, technique, pattern, and reference skill types, utilizing specific testing methodologies tailored to each category's documentation and compliance requirements.

Rationalization tables are needed when creating agent skills to close loopholes and explicitly counter common excuses agents use to bypass documentation, ensuring skills remain discoverable and resistant to compliance failures.
