Test-driven development for process documentation applies a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow to create, validate, and verify skills before deployment, reducing ambiguity and ensuring repeatable quality.

The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle for skill creation is a structured workflow used to write, test, and verify new skills, enforcing progressive disclosure and required YAML frontmatter fields to minimize errors.

You validate YAML frontmatter during skill creation and editing by enforcing required fields through a test-driven approach, ensuring proper progressive disclosure structure and tooling references for coding-agent workflows.

Yes, the test-driven approach is applicable during the creation, editing, and verification of skills across coding-agent workflows and governance documentation, ensuring structured validation and repeatable quality.

Use a test-driven workflow for skill editing during pre-deployment verification and updates to minimize rationalization and errors, ensuring that progressive disclosure and keyword coverage meet best practices.
