 "title": "Make your agent work toward tests instead of vague tasks",
 "page_title": "How to make your agent work toward tests instead of vague tasks with Andrej Karpathy Skills",
 "summary": "Use the Goal-Driven Execution principle to turn requests like fix the bug into a test that must pass.",
 "who": "A developer who keeps re-prompting because the agent declares success without proof.",
 "problem": "Weak criteria like make it work need constant clarification, and the agent stops before the job is really done.",
 "outcome": "Tasks phrased as verifiable goals, with a short plan where each step has a check, so the agent can loop on its own until they pass.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the guidelines with the plugin or the CLAUDE.md option",
  "Rewrite your request as a success criterion, for example write a test that reproduces the bug, then make it pass",
  "Ask for a brief plan where each step ends with verify: and a check",
  "Let the agent loop until the checks pass instead of approving each step by hand",
  "Review the final diff against the success criteria you set"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the Goal-Driven Execution principle from andrej-karpathy-skills, turn this task into verifiable success criteria: <task>. Write the failing test first, give me a numbered plan where each step has a verify check, then loop until all checks pass.",
