Testing Skills With Subagents FAQs

Question 1

When should I use this skill?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill whenever you are creating or editing Claude Code skills that enforce discipline (like TDD or security standards) or have high compliance costs. It is especially useful for skills that an agent might be tempted to bypass during high-pressure scenarios.

Question 2

How does the REFACTOR phase work for AI skills?

Accepted Answer

During the Refactor phase, you identify 'loopholes'—the specific excuses or rationalizations the agent used to ignore a rule. You then update the skill's documentation with explicit negations and rationalization tables to ensure those excuses can no longer be used.

Question 3

What are pressure scenarios and why are they used?

Accepted Answer

Pressure scenarios are realistic test cases that combine time, authority, and economic constraints (e.g., 'production is down, skip the tests'). Testing under these conditions proves whether a skill is truly robust or if the agent will abandon its instructions when things get difficult.

Question 4

How does this skill improve my AI development workflow?

Accepted Answer

It moves your prompt engineering from 'guessing' to 'verifying.' By forcing a 'RED' phase (watching the agent fail without the skill), you ensure your instructions are solving real failure points rather than hypothetical ones, resulting in more reliable and bulletproof agent behavior.

Question 5

What does the Testing Skills With Subagents skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill applies Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles to AI process documentation. It uses a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to verify that Claude Code follows instructions even under pressure, preventing the agent from rationalizing away failures or skipping complex rules.
