SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures code quality by automatically generating failing test suites that precisely define expected behavior, preventing bugs before they are written.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD Contract Writing: Derives failing test suites directly from plan intent, ensuring tests define behavior, not implementation.
  • Failure Mode Derivation: Identifies and tests boundary conditions and potential failure points in the architecture.
  • Use Case: When developing a new feature, invoke the Sentinel to write all necessary unit and integration tests based on the feature's requirements, ensuring the code meets its contract before implementation begins.

Quick Start

Use the insight-sentinel skill to write failing tests for the user authentication task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate failing test suites from plan intent for TDD?

You generate failing test suites from plan intent by deriving unambiguous test clauses that define behavior contracts, ensuring tests fail when implementation is absent or incorrect. This approach enforces TDD by writing behavior laws before code.

What is test-driven development contract writing and how does it work?

Test-driven development contract writing is the process of deriving failing test suites directly from plan intent and architecture specifications. It works by producing unambiguous test clauses that define expected behavior, preventing bugs before any implementation code is written.

How do I identify failure modes and boundary conditions for test coverage?

You identify failure modes and boundary conditions by analyzing architecture specifications to derive potential failure points. This generates comprehensive test coverage by ensuring the resulting test suites explicitly probe these derived boundary conditions.

Can I use automated test generation for unit and integration tests based on feature requirements?

Yes, you can use automated test generation to write unit and integration tests based on feature requirements. The generated test suites define the expected behavior contracts, ensuring the implementation meets these specifications before code execution begins.

What is the best way to ensure code quality before implementation begins?

The best way to ensure code quality before implementation is to define behavior contracts through automatically generated failing test suites. This prevents bugs by ensuring the code must meet its precise contract requirements to pass tests.

When should I not use automated TDD contract generation?

You should not use automated TDD contract generation when architecture specifications or plan intent are undefined, as the tool derives failure modes and test clauses directly from these inputs to produce meaningful behavior contracts.
