To convert a root cause bug analysis into a TDD task plan, this Skill decomposes the fix into atomic tasks ordered for Test-Driven Development, ensuring the regression test is the first task. It generates a structured plan with verification commands and commit-message templates.

Structuring bug fixes into atomic commits with regression tests requires ordering tasks so the failing test is written first, followed by discrete fix and refactor tasks. This approach ensures each commit is independently verifiable and prevents regressions from recurring.

A regression-first implementation plan for bug fixes is a TDD-oriented task decomposition where the regression test is the initial task, followed by independent fix and refactor tasks. It produces a plan.md file containing task descriptions, verification commands, and standardized commit messages.

Yes, you need a completed bug analysis artifact before generating a TDD task plan. This Skill requires an existing root cause analysis on a bug branch to decompose the work into regression-first tasks and output the plan.md document.

Yes, you can use this task planning approach for small to medium maintenance work. It is designed for routine bug fixes and enforcing reproducible, reviewable change sets on a bug branch by applying regression-first TDD methodology.

The generated TDD bugfix plan file gets saved to work/bugs/RAISE-{N}/plan.md. This file contains per-task descriptions, verification commands sourced from the manifest, and standardized commit messages for implementing the fix.
