This Skill provides a structured approach to writing, validating, and maintaining Skills as living documentation, ensuring they are testable, reusable, and robust under pressure.
Create a new Skill by adding a SKILL.md with frontmatter including name and description. Write the Skill body following the three-section pattern and the SKILL.md structure. Then perform a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle by first drafting pressure scenarios without the skill, then implementing the Skill to address observed rationalizations, and finally iterating to close loopholes with counters and red flags.

To write testable skill documentation for Claude, use a test-driven development approach by drafting pressure scenarios first, then implementing the skill body to address observed rationalizations, and iterating to close loopholes.
The TDD workflow for creating and validating skills follows a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle: draft baseline tests without the skill, implement the skill to pass those tests, then refine to close loopholes with counters and red flags.
Yes, you need YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md files. The framework requires including both name and description fields in the frontmatter block to properly define and structure the skill for agent behavior.
To ensure skill reliability before deployment, use the provided quality assurance checklists and testing guidance to verify the skill, tracking rationalizations observed during pressure scenarios to confirm robustness.
Yes, you can include external scripts and references when authoring skills. The guided structure supports optional directories specifically designed to handle heavy references alongside the core SKILL.md file.
Your Claude skill fails under pressure scenarios when it contains loopholes in the documentation. Applying the REFACTOR phase of the TDD cycle closes these gaps by adding counters and red flags to guide behavior.
