Prevents AI agent sessions from writing production code without first locking in a complete, behavior-focused set of failing tests derived from the frozen spec, plan, and acceptance criteria.
Ask your agent to run lock-tests for the current feature branch so it generates the full failing test inventory from the frozen plan/spec artifacts and requests your approval before any implementation begins.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To prevent an AI coding agent from writing implementation code prematurely, use a mandatory user approval gate that blocks progression until a complete, behavior-focused failing test inventory is explicitly approved. This isolates testing phases from feature implementation.
Generate a failing test inventory for TDD by converting each frozen acceptance criterion into one public-interface, behavior-only failing test placed in the project's canonical test structure, ensuring all tests fail correctly before any production code is written.
A test inventory document in a git workflow is a traceable record mapping acceptance criteria to newly generated failing tests, including considered-but-skipped edge cases and detected test framework details, providing traceability before implementation begins.
Yes, you can skip the test approval gate for trivial changes using a specific escape hatch, bypassing the mandatory user approval block to allow immediate implementation without generating a full failing test inventory.
Test generation works with various test frameworks by automatically detecting the framework used in the project's canonical test structure, ensuring the generated failing behavior tests are written and verified correctly within the existing environment.
