Test-driven development for process documentation applies a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow to validate skills against pressure scenarios, ensuring discovery triggers and guardrails align with real usage before deployment.

The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow for skill creation is a testing cycle that establishes baseline tests, validates explicit frontmatter triggers, and iteratively refines documentation to bulletproof skills before deployment.

Writing frontmatter descriptions that trigger skill discovery requires explicit name and description fields validated through rationalization tracking and pressure scenario testing to ensure alignment with real usage.

Yes, this TDD documentation approach is applicable to all skill types, using baseline testing and rationalization tracking to verify that discovery triggers and guardguards function correctly across diverse use cases.

Rationalization tracking should be used during skill documentation testing to validate that guardrails and discovery triggers align with real usage, particularly when running pressure scenarios to bulletproof skills before deployment.

Skill documentation guardrails fail under real usage when they lack baseline testing and rationalization tracking, which are required to align discovery triggers with actual pressure scenarios before deployment.
