SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The ATDD workflow often requires up-front scaffolding of red-phase tests and artifacts before implementation. This Skill automates that setup, enabling teams to generate consistent ATDD artifacts and a clear activation path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates multi-step ATDD generation (Create, Validate, Edit modes) with clear red-phase scaffolds
  • Produces artifacts such as ATDD checklists, test skeletons for API and E2E, and fixture infrastructure
  • Offers activation guidance, data-driven knowledge fragments integration, and a path to green-phase completion

Quick Start

Run the ATDD workflow to generate red-phase scaffolds for your story.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate red-phase ATDD scaffolds from acceptance criteria?

ATDD scaffolds coordinate knowledge fragments and framework templates to produce a complete artifact package, including test skeletons for API and E2E layers plus an ATDD checklist for validation.

What is included in an automated ATDD artifact package?

An ATDD artifact package includes red-phase test.skip() placeholders for API and E2E tests, fixture infrastructure, an ATDD checklist, and handoff metadata for downstream aggregation and green-phase migration.

How do I transition tests from red-phase scaffolds to green-phase completion?

Transition to green-phase completion by following the activation guidance and handoff metadata provided in the red-phase scaffolds, which coordinate downstream validation and migration steps.

Can I use ATDD scaffolds for both API and E2E testing workflows?

Yes, ATDD scaffolds generate test.skip() placeholders for both API and E2E testing layers, integrating framework templates and fixture infrastructure to support comprehensive acceptance test automation.

Does automated ATDD scaffolding require external dependencies or frameworks?

No external dependencies are required. The scaffolding operates independently using internal scripts, coordinating knowledge fragments and framework templates to generate the complete ATDD artifact package.

What are the limitations of generating test scaffolds as skip placeholders?

Test.skip() placeholders are intentionally failing red-phase scaffolds; they require subsequent green-phase implementation and migration to become passing tests, meaning they cannot validate behavior until manually completed.
