Construct a deterministic, agent-runnable pass/fail signal for a bug, regression, or feature — fast, sharp, and reproducible without a human in the loop. Use when the user says "build a test harness", "make this reproducible", "what''s the cheapest reproducer for this bug", "the dev loop is too slow", or "we need a deterministic check for this". This is the reference skill the rest of the Valesco engineering chain leans on: /diagnose Phase 1 invokes it to find a bug''s cause, /tdd invokes it to drive new code red→green. Distinct from /diagnose (which uses loops to locate causes) and /tdd (which uses loops to drive incremental implementation) — this skill is about constructing the loop itself. Whenever you find yourself debugging by re-reading code or running ad-hoc commands without a deterministic pass/fail, stop and run this.

Quick start
Copy the install prompt. Use the green button above this README.
Send it to your agent. Paste it into your coding agent’s chat and send.
Review the setup. Your agent checks the skill’s instructions, requirements, and installation scope.

Use when the user says "build a test harness", "make this reproducible", "what''s the cheapest reproducer for this bug", "the dev loop is too slow", or "we need a deterministic check for this". This is the reference skill the rest of the Valesco engineering chain leans on: `/diagnose` Phase 1 invokes it to find a bug''s cause, `/tdd` invokes it to drive new code red→green. Distinct from `/diagnose` (which *uses* loops to locate causes) and `/tdd` (which *uses* loops to drive incremental implementation) — this skill is about *constructing* the loop itself. Whenever you find yourself debugging by re-reading code or running ad-hoc commands without a deterministic pass/fail, stop and run this.
