SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates and orchestrates the TDD (Test-Driven Development) cycle, streamlining the process of writing tests before code, improving code quality, and reducing bugs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RED-GREEN-REFACTOR Orchestration: Coordinates the TDD cycle phases: RED, GREEN, REFACTOR, and VERIFY.
  • Forked Contexts: Ensures that each phase runs in a separate forked context to prevent context pollution.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Simple command to start the TDD cycle with the required feature description.

Quick Start

Execute the TDD cycle by running the command '/tdd-cycle <feature-description>'.

Frequently Asked Questions about tdd-cycle

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate the test-driven development workflow for writing tests before code?▼

You can automate the test-driven development workflow by orchestrating the RED, GREEN, REFACTOR, and VERIFY phases. This ensures test-first development practices are enforced, producing clean and maintainable code while reducing bugs.

What is the RED GREEN REFACTOR cycle in software development?▼

The RED GREEN REFACTOR cycle is a test-driven development process where you write a failing test, make it pass, then optimize the code. Automating this cycle coordinates each phase in forked contexts to prevent context pollution.

Does automating TDD require any specific dependencies or test frameworks?▼

Automating TDD requires no specific dependencies. The orchestration script handles the test-driven development phases natively, allowing you to enforce test-first practices without needing external packages or frameworks.

How do I start a TDD cycle for a specific feature description?▼

To start a TDD cycle, execute the command with your target feature description. This triggers the orchestration script to handle the RED, GREEN, REFACTOR, and VERIFY phases automatically for that specific feature.

Why use forked contexts when orchestrating test-driven development phases?▼

Forked contexts isolate each test-driven development phase to prevent context pollution. This separation ensures the RED, GREEN, REFACTOR, and VERIFY steps execute cleanly without interfering with each other's environment.

What's the best way to enforce test-first development practices in my development workflow?▼

The best way to enforce test-first practices is automating the TDD cycle. Orchestrating the RED, GREEN, REFACTOR, and VERIFY phases guarantees tests are written before implementation, improving overall code quality.
