🔬 New AI Craft
1. My Agent Skill for Test-Driven Development
Jason Swett released a TDD agent skill built on the "Specify-Encode-Fulfill (SEF)" loop as an alternative to red-green-refactor, combined with Kent Beck's Canon TDD. It also includes a separate Test Design Review agent that spawns an independent agent instance for unbiased test critique.

2. Did Claude increase bugs in rsync?
A rigorous statistical analysis of every rsync release using severity-weighted bug counts and permutation testing (methodology designed by a stats master's degree holder). The conclusion: Claude-assisted releases are not statistically more buggy than the pre-Claude era, providing data-backed nuance to the AI code quality debate.
