Test-driven development for skill creation works by mandating a failing baseline test before any implementation begins. You draft, test, and refine skills through the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to prevent untested code changes from shipping.

The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle is a test-driven development workflow requiring a failing test first, followed by implementation to pass the test, and then code refinement. This cycle ensures rigorous quality discipline during skill creation and edits.

You prevent untested changes by enforcing a failing baseline test before implementation. Integrating a test-driven development workflow ensures that every skill edit must pass a baseline test observed failing first before deployment.

Yes, this test-driven development enforcement integrates with the FORGE workflow. Applying this integration provides explicit guidance and rigorous discipline to ensure every new skill passes a failing baseline test before implementation.

A failing baseline test is required before coding to prove the test actually validates the new behavior. This test-driven development discipline prevents false positives and ensures your skill implementation addresses the exact failure before deployment.

Yes, test-driven development is highly effective for teams standardizing quality across skills. By mandating a failing baseline test before implementation, the entire team ensures every skill edit ships only after passing observed test failures.
