SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of inconsistent code quality and regression risks during software implementation by enforcing a rigorous, test-first, and review-driven workflow for bounded changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Behavioural Verification: Ensures every change is backed by unit, integration, or contract tests before completion.
  • Failure-Path Coverage: Mandates the inclusion of negative and boundary cases to prevent edge-case regressions.
  • Review-Fix Loop: Integrates a final review and fix cycle to ensure code meets quality standards before the task is marked complete.
  • Use Case: When tasked with fixing a bug in a payment processing module, this skill guides the agent to write a failing regression test, implement the fix, verify the happy path, and ensure no side effects occur in related components.

Quick Start

Use the rb-implement-with-tests skill to implement the requested feature by following the defined test-driven development and review procedure.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement code changes with automated regression testing?▼

Implement code changes with automated regression testing by following a structured workflow that enforces test-driven development, failure-path analysis, and a final review cycle to prevent edge-case regressions. This ensures every change is backed by verified tests.

What is the best way to enforce test-driven development for bug fixes?▼

The best way to enforce test-driven development for bug fixes is to mandate a workflow where a failing regression test is written first, the fix is implemented, and negative boundary cases are verified before marking the task complete.

How does failure-path analysis prevent edge-case regressions?▼

Failure-path analysis prevents edge-case regressions by mandating the inclusion of negative and boundary test cases during software implementation, ensuring that unexpected inputs and error states are verified before code changes are completed.

Can I use this TDD workflow for ordinary coding tasks and feature additions?▼

Yes, you can use this TDD workflow for ordinary coding tasks, bug fixes, and feature additions that require verified increments, CI-equivalent validation, and strict adherence to existing repository patterns.

Does this implementation workflow require specific testing frameworks?▼

No, this implementation workflow does not require specific testing frameworks. It applies behavioural testing, failure-path analysis, and a review-fix loop to ensure automated test coverage regardless of the underlying framework, operating without external dependencies.
