Writing reliable software quickly is hard without a strict testing discipline. This skill codifies a test-driven development workflow that ensures tests guide feature implementation, reducing wasted work and regression risk.
Begin by writing a failing test for the feature and then run the test suite to observe the failure.

A test-driven development workflow is enforced by automating phase-based guardrails that require writing failing tests before production code, verifying each red, green, and refactor stage to ensure progressive correctness and reduce regression risk.
The red-green-refactor cycle is a test-first development process that guides teams through writing failing tests, writing minimal production code to pass tests, and refactoring, with mandatory verification at each stage for safe incremental delivery.
You start test-first development for a bugfix or behavior change by writing a failing test that defines the desired behavior, then running the test suite to observe the failure before writing any production code.
Test-driven development can be applied across codebases for feature, bugfix, or behavior-change tasks, providing phase-based guidance and structured verifications that are platform agnostic and enable reproducible, high-quality outcomes.
Minimal production code is used in test-driven development to satisfy requirements for explicit test definitions and iterative verification, ensuring tests guide feature implementation, reducing wasted work, and preventing regression.
The best way to structure a test-driven development workflow for a team is to codify the process into explicit phases like RED, VERIFY RED, GREEN, VERIFY GREEN, and REFACTOR, promoting safe and incremental delivery with mandatory verifications.
