SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides teams through an iterative, test-driven development process to implement features safely, with incremental verification at each step.

Core Features & Use Cases

Planable work units: Break large changes into reviewable, independent tasks.
TDD cycle: Write tests first, implement minimally, and iterate toward green.
Code review discipline: Structured review flow and incremental commits.
Risk reduction: Early validation reduces bugs and rework.

Quick Start

Begin a feature addition by outlining the smallest change, write tests for it, implement the code to pass tests, then push for review.

FAQPage Schema

How do I implement features using test-driven development?▼

Test-driven development begins by writing tests before implementation code. Write minimal tests for the smallest feature unit, implement code to pass those tests, run verification, review changes, and commit incrementally. This cycle reduces bugs and enables safe refactoring across monorepos or subprojects.

What's the best way to break down large coding tasks into reviewable pieces?▼

Divide work into planable units by identifying the smallest independent change, writing tests for it, implementing minimally to pass tests, and committing incrementally. This approach ensures each piece is reviewable, testable, and reduces coordination overhead in team environments.

How do I ensure code changes pass builds and linters during refactoring?▼

Refactoring with test-driven discipline requires writing tests first as a safety net, implementing changes incrementally, running tests and linters after each change, and committing only when builds pass. This enforces guideline-driven practices and catches issues early.

Can I use test-driven development for coordinating work across monorepos or subprojects?▼

Yes. Test-driven development applies directly to monorepo and subproject contexts by enabling incremental commits, structured code reviews, and independent verification of each feature unit, reducing coordination challenges and verification overhead.

Why should code review be structured into the development workflow?▼

Structured code review discipline paired with incremental commits allows reviewers to assess smaller, focused changes with clearer intent. Combining TDD practices with this discipline reduces rework, catches issues earlier, and improves team alignment on implementation choices.
