TDD for process documentation uses a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to verify agent behavior against written guides before deployment. You run a baseline pressure scenario, document agent failures, and iteratively refine the documentation until compliance is verified.

Preventing agents from skipping steps requires discipline-enforcing skills built with rationalization prevention techniques. By testing documentation against high-pressure operational scenarios like tight deadlines, you identify and counter agent excuses for violating rules before deployment.

You need TDD for agent skills when creating discipline-enforcing workflows that must remain compliant under high-pressure operational scenarios. It ensures your process documentation is tested against actual agent behavior, preventing rationalization and step-skipping during tight deadlines or conflicting priorities.

Start creating a compliant agent skill by running a baseline pressure scenario to document agent failures. This initial test exposes where the agent rationalizes skipping steps, providing the exact requirements needed to build documentation that enforces the workflow.

TDD for documentation is specifically designed for high-pressure operational scenarios like tight deadlines and conflicting priorities. The framework tests discipline-enforcing skills against these exact pressures to ensure agents comply with complex workflows rather than rationalizing step-skipping.

Agents skip workflow steps under pressure due to rationalization, where conflicting priorities or tight deadlines excuse rule violations. This TDD framework counters rationalization by testing process documentation against baseline pressure scenarios before deployment, ensuring strict compliance.
