You can automate the TDD cycle by running an interactive workflow that prompts for test content, validates failures and successes, and tracks progress across each increment. It enforces one-test-per-implementation discipline for incremental, test-driven progress.

The one-test-per-implementation discipline is a structured TDD approach that enforces writing a single test before its minimal implementation. This discourages overbuilding and encourages incremental progress with early failure detection during the RED GREEN REFACTOR cycle.

Yes, you need a spec-kit project with a .specify/ directory structure. The TDD workflow assumes this spec-kit alignment to integrate properly and execute the RED GREEN REFACTOR cycle for each increment within your project.

You track progress across TDD increments by persisting increment state within the workflow. The interactive loop validates test failures and successes, maintaining structured progress tracking throughout the RED GREEN REFACTOR cycles.

The best way to prevent overbuilding is enforcing a one-test-per-implementation approach within a structured RED GREEN REFACTOR loop. This disciplined testing method promotes minimal implementation and encourages incremental refactoring.

Validating test failures before successes is required to properly execute the RED phase of the RED GREEN REFACTOR cycle. This ensures early failure detection and confirms that your tests are actually asserting the expected behavior before moving to the GREEN phase.
