Test-driven development enforces a test-first workflow using the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to define software behavior before implementation. This ensures code quality and maintainability by building features through automated test specifications.

Yes, test-driven development works with Go and Cargo, along with pytest, npm, vitest, and phpunit. This Skill integrates with these various testing frameworks and quality tools to support your specific development environment.

The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle in test-first development means writing a failing test (RED), implementing code to pass it (GREEN), and improving the code structure (REFACTOR). This Skill automates guidance through these three steps for robust software.

Yes, you can use test-driven development for behavior specification in isolated modules. This Skill helps you write tests that document expected software behavior before writing the implementation code for new features.

A limitation of automated test-first workflows is the dependency on having specific testing frameworks like jest, vitest, or pytest configured in your environment. You must manage these dependencies before effectively running the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle.
