description	Require builders to run validation, reviewers to demand evidence, and all agents to record failures honestly instead of claiming success without test results.

Test First Agent Loop

Use this skill when a prompt requires implementation, review, or signoff.

Builder Requirements

The builder must:

• identify required validation commands before claiming completion;
• run unit tests, build/static generation, smoke checks, domain checks, route checks, browser tests, and security scans when relevant;
• stop feature work when validation fails;
• fix failures only inside approved scope;
• rerun failed commands and the full suite when practical;
• document exact commands, results, failures, fixes, and remaining risks.

Reviewer Requirements

The reviewer must block signoff when:

• validation commands are missing;
• output is summarized without evidence;
• tests are superficial or unrelated;
• generated output changed without review;
• screenshots are missing for UI work that needs browser evidence;
• security/redaction checks were skipped before publication.

Honest Reporting

Use precise language:

• passed only when the command completed successfully;
• failed when the command returned non-zero or produced blocking errors;
• not run when skipped, with a reason;
• not applicable only when the category genuinely does not apply.

Never hide failures to make a prompt look complete.
