What this skill does
Use when the user explicitly requests strict or test-first TDD, or when the current conversation already contains an explicit TDD Route: strict decision from another Aegis workflow. → False-positive entry on a native-direct-skill host? → Exit immediately unless the user explicitly asked for TDD or the conversation already contains TDD Route: strict. In off mode, do not start RED / GREEN / REFACTOR from generic bugfix, contract, shared-module, or risky-code wording alone.
When it triggers
