Testing workflows is TDD applied to orchestrator instructions and command documentation.

You find real execution failures (git logs, error reports), create test scenarios that reproduce them, watch subagents follow ambiguous instructions incorrectly (RED), fix the instructions (GREEN), and verify subagents now follow correctly (REFACTOR).

Core principle: If you didn't watch an agent misinterpret the instructions in a test, you don't know if your fix prevents the right failures.

Use when creating or editing commands, orchestrator prompts, or workflow documentation before deployment - applies RED-GREEN-REFACTOR to test instruction clarity by finding real execution failures, creating test scenarios, and verifying fixes with subagents Source: arittr/spectacular.
