To build Copilot skills with TDD, you enforce the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle by writing failing baseline tests for pressure scenarios first, then developing the skill documentation, and refactoring until it withstands rationalization.

Pressure testing for Copilot skill development involves creating realistic scenarios with constraints like time, sunk cost, and authority to test skill compliance and ensure the agent adheres to critical coding standards under stress.

Copilot skills get ignored under pressure when they lack explicit countermeasures against rationalization; this TDD methodology solves that by developing rigorous pressure scenarios to expose common excuses and refactor the skill against them.

You apply the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to skill documentation by writing a failing baseline test first, building the skill documentation to pass the test, and then refactoring the documentation until it is bulletproof.

Yes, you can test Copilot skill compliance against agent rationalization by identifying common excuses agents use to bypass rules and explicitly addressing them within the skill documentation during the refactoring phase.

The best way to enforce a critical coding standard with Copilot is using a test-driven development methodology that requires failing baseline tests first, followed by building and refactoring the skill until it withstands common agent bypass attempts.
