Test-driven skill documentation applies RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycles to writing skills by creating a minimal SKILL.md, running baseline tests for compliance, and iteratively verifying structured guidance and YAML frontmatter.

Rationalization capture in skill authoring tracks the reasoning behind documentation decisions during the test-driven workflow, ensuring that new skills remain verifiable, maintainable, and governed across skill units.

Structuring SKILL.md to pass metadata governance requires including valid YAML frontmatter, standardized structured guidance, and passing targeted baseline and green tests that verify scope and quality compliance.

Yes, red-green-refactor cycles validate skill quality assurance by running targeted baseline tests against documentation, capturing rationalizations, and enforcing iterative verification before deployment.

The best way to organize cross-skill references is structuring content for progressive disclosure, enabling safe referencing between skill units while maintaining scope and metadata governance compliance.

You need baseline and green tests for skill writing when applying test-driven development to documentation, ensuring the final skill satisfies YAML frontmatter requirements and passes iterative verification checks.
