SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps agents create and edit Skill documentation reliably by enforcing a test-driven loop that prevents rationalized, “it seems obvious” compliance failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD for documentation: maps RED-GREEN-REFACTOR to skill-authorship so the Skill is proven under pressure, not assumed correct.
  • Discovery-optimized SKILL.md: requires YAML frontmatter (name, description) and strongly guides how to write descriptions that trigger proper loading.
  • Bulletproofing against loopholes: captures baseline rationalizations verbatim and adds explicit negations, red flags, and re-verification steps.
  • Structured testing with pressure scenarios: uses multi-pressure “pressure scenario with subagent” patterns (time, authority, sunk cost, exhaustion) to validate real compliance.

Quick Start

Use writing-skills when creating or updating a Skill and you need proof it works before deployment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write process documentation that agents follow under pressure?

Use a test-driven development loop for process documentation that maps RED-GREEN-REFACTOR to skill authoring, verifying agent compliance under multi-pressure scenarios like time, authority, and sunk cost.

What is test-driven development for skill authoring?

Test-driven skill authoring applies RED-GREEN-REFACTOR to documentation creation, requiring baseline failure observation and iterative loophole closure to prevent rationalized non-compliance before deployment.

How do I prevent rationalization loopholes in agent documentation?

Capture baseline rationalizations verbatim and add explicit negations, red flags, and re-verification steps to close loopholes, ensuring agents follow discipline-like rules under pressure.

How do I format SKILL.md frontmatter for proper skill discovery?

Include YAML frontmatter with name and description fields in SKILL.md, writing descriptions that trigger proper loading and optimize the skill for agent discovery.

When should I use a test-driven approach for documentation?

Apply test-driven documentation when creating or updating a Skill and you need proof it works before deployment, using structured testing with subagent pressure scenarios to validate real compliance.
