TDD Skill Architect FAQs

Question 1

What is the primary purpose of the Writing Skills plugin?

Accepted Answer

It provides a standardized framework to create new Claude Code skills using Test-Driven Development, ensuring that documentation actually changes agent behavior effectively.

Question 2

How does TDD apply to writing skills?

Accepted Answer

You define a scenario where an agent fails (Red), write the skill documentation to address that failure, and then verify the agent complies with the new instructions (Green).

Question 3

Where are these skills stored?

Accepted Answer

Personal skills are typically stored in agent-specific directories such as ~/.claude/skills for Claude Code or ~/.codex/skills for Codex.

Question 4

What is Claude Search Optimization (CSO)?

Accepted Answer

CSO is a set of practices designed to make skills easily discoverable by Claude, focusing on 'Use when' descriptions, keyword coverage, and token efficiency.

Question 5

Why shouldn't I summarize the workflow in the skill description?

Accepted Answer

If the description summarizes the process, Claude might skip reading the full skill body and miss critical details, leading to incomplete execution of complex tasks.
