Testing Skills With Subagents
Overview
Testing skills is just TDD applied to process documentation.
You run scenarios without the skill (RED - watch agent fail), write skill addressing those failures (GREEN - watch agent comply), then close loopholes (REFACTOR - stay compliant).
Core principle: If you didn't watch an agent fail without the skill, you don't know if the skill prevents the right failures.
REQUIRED BACKGROUND: You MUST understand superpowers:test-driven-development before using this skill. That skill defines the fundamental RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle. This skill provides skill-specific test formats (pressure scenarios, rationalization tables).
Complete worked example: See examples/CLAUDE_MD_TESTING.md for a full test campaign testing CLAUDE.md documentation variants.
When to Use
Test skills that:
- Enforce discipline (TDD, testing requirements)
- Have compliance costs (time, effort, rework)
