+# Story 170: Add test-first requirements to agent role descriptions
+
+## User Story
+
+As a project owner, I want agent role descriptions to explicitly require test-first development and record_tests usage, so that agents follow the documented dev process.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Coder agent roles in project.toml mention writing tests for each acceptance criterion
+- [ ] Coder agent roles mention calling record_tests MCP tool before completing work
+- [ ] QA agent role mentions verifying that record_tests was called and results are present
+- [ ] Mergemaster role mentions checking ensure_acceptance before merging
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
