# Create Skill (TDD Method)

TDD methodology for skill creation — test with subagents first, write skill to address failures, iterate until bulletproof against rationalization

What is it?
What is this? Core principle in 1-2 sentences.

## How to use it?

```
`digraph when_flowchart {
"Need to show information?" [shape=diamond];
"Decision where I might go wrong?" [shape=diamond];
"Use markdown" [shape=box];
"Small inline flowchart" [shape=box];

"Need to show information?" -> "Decision where I might go wrong?" [label="yes"];
"Decision where I might go wrong?" -> "Small inline flowchart" [label="yes"];
"Decision where I might go wrong?" -> "Use markdown" [label="no"];
}
`
```

Use flowcharts ONLY for:

* Non-obvious decision points

* Process loops where you might stop too early

* "When to use A vs B" decisions

Never use flowcharts for:

* Reference material → Tables, lists

* Code examples → Markdown blocks

* Linear instructions → Numbered lists

* Labels without semantic meaning (step1, helper2)

See graphviz-conventions.dot for graphviz style rules.
