SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing and maintaining tests is often overlooked, leading to fragile code and slow iteration. This skill guides teams to adopt test-driven development practices and ensure tests drive design decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Red-green-refactor workflow orchestration: Guides the developer through writing a failing test, making it pass, and refactoring safely.
  • Coverage and style decisions: Prompts for test coverage goals and preferred test styles to align with project goals.
  • Progress reporting: Generates status summaries like feature description, tests written, and completion status.

Quick Start

Start a red-green-refactor cycle by drafting a failing test for the next requirement.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a red-green-refactor cycle during feature development?

Test-driven development workflow orchestration guides you through writing a failing test, making it pass, and refactoring safely. It enforces each step of the red-green-refactor cycle and prompts for coverage goals to align with your project requirements.

What is the best way to guide test strategy choices for unit testing?

The best way to guide test strategy choices is by prompting developers for test coverage goals and preferred test styles during the workflow. This ensures unit testing aligns directly with feature requirements and project design decisions.

How do I automate TDD workflow steps for a bugfix cycle?

You can automate the TDD workflow for a bugfix cycle by using an orchestrator agent that enforces test-first discipline. It specifically enforces red-green-refactor steps, ensuring you write failing tests before implementing the bugfix.

Can I generate progress reports for test-driven development tasks?

Yes, you can generate progress reports for test-driven development tasks. The workflow orchestrator captures outputs like feature descriptions, tests written, and completion status to provide a clear summary of your testing progress.

Does test-driven development workflow orchestration work without external dependencies?

Yes, test-driven development workflow orchestration works without external dependencies. It operates as a standalone orchestrator agent that guides the red-green-refactor cycle and test strategy decisions directly within your development environment.
