SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Generates upfront red-phase ATDD scaffolds and artifacts to streamline test-design planning, documentation, and traceability for new stories.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Maps acceptance criteria to test levels and priorities, producing concrete red-phase scaffolds.
  • Orchestrates multi-mode ATDD generation via a tri-modal step-file workflow (create, validate, edit) and coordinated subagents.
  • Outputs API/E2E scaffolds, data factories, fixtures, and an ATDD checklist for downstream handoff.

Quick Start

Use the ATDD workflow to generate red-phase scaffolds for a new story and review the resulting checklist.

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?

Red-phase ATDD scaffolds are generated by mapping acceptance criteria to test levels and priorities, producing skipped API and E2E test scaffolds, fixtures, and an ATDD checklist for downstream implementation.

What is the best way to structure test scaffolds for API and E2E automation?

Structuring API and E2E test scaffolds is handled by a tri-modal step-file architecture that deterministically assigns test levels and priorities, outputting per-scenario scaffolds and data factories.

Can I use Playwright for E2E test architecture in an ATDD workflow?

Yes, the ATDD workflow incorporates Playwright for E2E test architecture, generating red-phase test scaffolds and fixtures that align with TDD red-green-refactor methodology.

How does subagent orchestration work for test design planning?

Subagent orchestration coordinates multi-mode ATDD generation across create, validate, and edit phases, ensuring repeatable and auditable test-design outputs through knowledge-fragment guidance.

Why use deterministic mode resolution for generating ATDD checklists?

Deterministic mode resolution ensures repeatable test-design planning by consistently mapping acceptance criteria to test levels, producing auditable red-phase scaffolds and ATDD checklists without variation.

When do I need upfront test scaffolds and fixtures for new stories?

Upfront test scaffolds and fixtures are needed when streamlining test-design planning and traceability for new stories, providing concrete skipped red-phase tests before implementation begins.
