TDD principles for agent skills involve applying the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to write and refine documentation, ensuring robustness and compliance. You develop pressure scenarios first to verify logic before finalizing implementation.

Agents bypass rules by rationalizing shortcuts under stress. You prevent rationalization by applying pressure scenario testing and rationalization tables to identify excuses, then adding explicit countermeasures to your skill documentation.

Pressure scenarios in agent compliance testing are realistic stress situations used to verify if an agent skips critical rules. They test whether your skill documentation prevents the agent from rationalizing its way around constraints.

To ensure skill documentation remains robust during updates, enforce the TDD RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to verify changes. This addresses scenarios where agents might rationalize bypassing rules by testing compliance under pressure.

Yes, you can test if an agent skips code reviews under time constraints by developing realistic pressure scenarios. This methodology verifies compliance and refines skills to explicitly forbid such rationalized shortcuts.
