What are the minimum test requirements for a reviewer agent?

Reviewer agents require at least 6 test cases: 2 known issues, 2 clean inputs, 1 edge case, and 1 ambiguous case to ensure full coverage.

What is the difference between testing skills and testing agents?

Skills are instruction sets that guide behavior, whereas agents are separate Claude instances performing specific tasks that require rigorous output verification.

Why is the Iron Law of testing so strict?

Untested agents often fail in production due to unexpected edge cases or hallucination; a 20-minute test suite prevents hours of debugging and lost trust.

Can I skip testing for simple agents?

Only with explicit human partner approval. Even simple agents can behave unpredictably, so the default requirement is always to test.

Security & Testing

Implements a strict Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodology for AI agents to ensure accurate, well-structured, and reliable outputs.

The Testing Agents with Subagents skill applies the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle specifically to the development and deployment of AI workers. It enforces a mandatory testing workflow where agents must be validated against known inputs, edge cases, and accuracy metrics before deployment. This skill is critical for developers building complex multi-agent systems where subagents perform specialized tasks like code review, data analysis, or decision-making, ensuring they adhere to schemas and maintain consistency across parallel executions.
