What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the Pharo Smalltalk TDD (test-driven development) process, eliminating the need for traditional text files, providing an interactive development experience that works entirely from within the live image.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test-Driven Development Loop: A structured workflow to facilitate TDD using genie MCP tools, from identifying and writing failing tests to confirming green outcomes.
  • No File-Based Editing: All actions, from creating tests and defining methods to reading sources and persisting images, occur without editing text files, maintaining the live image integrity.
  • Use Case: Imagine you're writing unit tests for a class. This Skill enables you to directly define methods, see changes immediately, and persist your changes without the overhead of file editing.

Quick Start

Execute 'define_method ("className method")' in the SmalltalkGenie's MCP client to implement test-first development directly within the Pharo live image.
