SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill guides teams through the GREEN phase of Test-Driven Development (TDD), implementing only the minimal code required to turn failing specs into passing ones.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates the GREEN phase for Red→Green→Refactor cycles in a Rails/RSpec project.
  • Provides a structured workflow including validation steps, dependency guidance, and best practices to avoid over-engineering.
  • Use Case: When a suite of failing tests is detected, invoke this skill to identify the minimal changes needed across models, services, and controllers to achieve green.

Quick Start

Use this skill to orchestrate the GREEN phase of TDD, implementing the minimal code needed to make failing specs pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement minimal code to pass failing RSpec tests in Rails?▼

The GREEN phase in TDD is the step where you write the minimal production code required to make your currently failing tests pass, avoiding over-engineering before moving into the refactor stage.

What is the GREEN phase in TDD and how does it handle regression awareness?▼

The GREEN phase in TDD is the step where you write the minimal production code required to make your currently failing tests pass, avoiding over-engineering before moving into the refactor stage.

How do I write minimal code for failing tests without over-engineering my Rails application?▼

Yes, you can use this GREEN phase workflow for Rails projects requiring quick, regression-aware iterations, as it spans implementations across models, services, and controllers to achieve green.

Does this TDD GREEN phase workflow support Rails models, services, and controllers?▼

Yes, you can use this GREEN phase workflow for Rails projects requiring quick, regression-aware iterations, as it spans implementations across models, services, and controllers to achieve green.

When should I avoid writing minimal implementations during TDD?▼

You should avoid writing minimal implementations outside of the structured TDD cycle if you lack a suite of failing tests, as this workflow requires detecting failing specs to identify the precise minimal changes needed across your codebase.
