SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creating reliable Claude skills is error‑prone and often skips the essential testing phase, leading to undocumented loopholes and inconsistent agent behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD‑style workflow: RED‑GREEN‑REFACTOR cycle for skill documentation.
  • Pressure‑scenario templates: Ready‑made scenarios that expose rationalizations agents might use to bypass a skill.
  • Checklists & red‑flag tables: Structured lists that ensure all loopholes are closed before deployment.
  • When to use: Authoring new skills, revising existing SKILL.md files, or verifying that a skill works under realistic pressures.

Quick Start

Run the writing-skills skill to get step‑by‑step guidance for creating, editing, and testing Claude skills.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test Claude skills before deployment?▼

Test Claude skills before deployment using TDD-style RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflows, pressure-scenario templates, and checklist enforcement to expose rationalizations agents might use to bypass the skill.

What is the best way to author SKILL.md files?▼

Author SKILL.md files by applying TDD-style guidelines and structured red-flag tables, ensuring all documentation loopholes are closed and agent behavior remains consistent across scenarios.

Why does my Claude skill fail under realistic pressure?▼

Claude skills fail under realistic pressure when pressure-scenario templates are skipped during creation, leaving undocumented loopholes that allow agents to rationalize bypassing the skill instructions.

How do I validate skill compliance and close documentation loopholes?▼

Validate skill compliance by enforcing structured checklists and red-flag tables during the TDD cycle, systematically identifying and closing loopholes before the skill is deployed.

Can I use a TDD workflow for Claude skill documentation?▼

Yes, you can use a TDD workflow for Claude skill documentation by applying the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to author, edit, and test skills, ensuring bulletproof creation before deployment.
