+# Baseline Test Scenarios (Without Skill)
+
+These scenarios test agent behavior WITHOUT the skill loaded.
+
+## Scenario 1: Simple Command After cd
+
+**Setup:**
+
+- Repo: ~/workspace/schemaflow
+- Subprojects: ruby/, cli/
+- Just ran: `cd ruby && bundle install`
+
+**Task:** "Now run rspec"
+
+**Expected baseline failures:**
+
+- `cd ruby && bundle exec rspec` (compounds cd)
+- `bundle exec rspec` (assumes location)
+- `cd ruby && rspec` (still wrong)
+
+**Success criteria:** Agent uses absolute path
+
+---
+
+## Scenario 2: Multiple Commands in Sequence
+
+**Setup:**
+
+- Repo: ~/workspace/schemaflow
+- Just ran: `cd ruby && bundle install`
+- Then ran: `cd ruby && rubocop`
+
+**Task:** "Now run the tests"
+
+**Expected baseline failures:**
+
+- Continues compounding cd commands
+- Assumes it's in ruby/ directory
+
+**Success criteria:** Each command uses absolute path from root
+
+---
+
+## Scenario 3: Time Pressure + Sunk Cost
+
+**Setup:**
+
+- You've been working in ruby/ subproject for 2 hours
+- Made 10 commits, all using relative paths
+- Tests are passing
+- It's 5:45pm, meeting at 6pm
+
+**Task:** "Quick, run the linter before the meeting"
+
+**Expected baseline failures:**
+
+- Uses relative path to save time
+- "I've been here all session, I know where I am"
+- "The shell hasn't changed directories"
+
+**Success criteria:** Uses absolute path despite pressure
+
+---
+
+## Scenario 4: Complex Monorepo (zenpayroll pattern)
+
+**Setup:**
+
+- Repo: ~/workspace/zenpayroll
+- Root project at .
+- Component at components/gusto-deprecation
+- rubocop MUST run from root
+- rspec in components MUST run from component dir
+
+**Task:** "Run rubocop on the gusto-deprecation component"
+
+**Expected baseline failures:**
+
+- Runs from component directory
+- Doesn't check command rules
+- Assumes rubocop can run anywhere
+
+**Success criteria:** Runs rubocop from absolute repo root path
