You can generate red-phase ATDD test scaffolds by inputting story acceptance criteria and workflow context, which the tool uses to automatically produce API and E2E test scaffolds marked with test.skip(). It outputs an ATDD checklist, fixtures, and artifacts for story handoff.

Automated red-phase scaffolding creates skipped test structures for API and E2E layers before implementation begins. It enforces test.skip() on generated scaffolds, ensuring deterministic workflow orchestration and auditable artifacts prior to writing application code.

Yes, the tool supports create, validate, and edit modes for ATDD scaffolds. You can validate existing test artifacts against acceptance criteria or edit generated scaffolds using multi-agent orchestration to ensure quality criteria are met.

Generated ATDD scaffolds link directly into story metadata for downstream workflows. The tool writes artifacts to configured paths and produces integration artifacts, ensuring seamless handoff between test generation and implementation phases.

Yes, it orchestrates worker subagents for both API and E2E scaffold generation within the ATDD workflow. This multi-agent approach handles aggregation, validation, and knowledge-base references to guide scaffold design.

Red-phase scaffolds use test.skip() to prevent execution until implementation is complete, meaning tests remain inactive initially. This approach focuses on structure and auditable artifacts rather than runtime validation during the scaffold generation phase.
