Testing Skills With Subagents

Migration Notice

All content from this skill has been integrated into the writing-skills skill, which now provides:

1. Skill Structure and Formatting (original writing-skills content)
2. Testing Skills: Detailed Methodology (original testing-skills-with-subagents content)
   • When to test skills
   • Writing pressure scenarios
   • Pressure types
   • Key elements of good scenarios
   • Testing setup
   • VERIFY GREEN process
   • Plugging holes systematically
   • Re-verification
   • Meta-testing
   • When skill is bulletproof
   • Complete worked examples

Why the Merge?

The two skills described the same TDD process (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR) applied to documentation:

• writing-skills focused on skill structure, formatting, and CSO
• testing-skills-with-subagents focused on detailed testing methodology

Since skill creation REQUIRES testing (the Iron Law: "No skill without failing test first"), and testing IS part of creation, maintaining separate skills created:

• Content duplication (both explained RED-GREEN-REFACTOR)
• Token waste (loading duplicate content)
• Confusion (which skill to use when?)
• Maintenance burden (update in two places)

Use writing-skills Instead

For all skill creation and testing needs, use the writing-skills skill, which now contains:

• Everything from the original writing-skills
• Everything from testing-skills-with-subagents
• Clear section organization
• No duplication
• Single source of truth

Worked Examples

The complete worked example (examples/CLAUDE_MD_TESTING.md) referenced in this skill is still available in the testing-skills-with-subagents directory for historical reference.
