SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Implementing features or bug fixes often proceeds without tests, leading to fragile code. TDD Discipline ensures you always write a failing test first and follow a strict Red-Green-Refactor cycle with mandatory verification gates, preventing code-before-test shortcuts and catching testing anti-patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces the Red-Green-Refactor cycle with mandatory verification gates between steps.
  • Prevents code-before-test shortcuts and discourages anti-patterns.
  • Supports monorepo and project-aware testing by pairing with superteam:project-awareness to detect frameworks and test strategies.

Quick Start

Run the TDD workflow with /st:tdd to start a red-green-refactor cycle.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a strict red-green-refactor cycle when writing tests?▼

TDD discipline enforces red-green-refactor by applying mandatory verification gates between steps, preventing code-before-test shortcuts and catching testing anti-patterns. It blocks progression if the cycle is violated.

What are common testing anti-patterns and how can I prevent them?▼

Testing anti-patterns like code-before-test shortcuts are prevented by enforcing mandatory verification gates. TDD discipline blocks progression until each red-green-refactor phase is properly validated.

Can I use TDD discipline for both frontend and backend projects?▼

Yes, TDD discipline applies to feature work, bug fixes, and any verifiable logic across frontend and backend projects. It pairs with project-awareness tools to detect frameworks and tailor test setup.

How do I start a TDD workflow for a new feature or bug fix?▼

Start the TDD workflow by running the designated command to initiate a red-green-refactor cycle. The system enforces mandatory gates, requiring a failing test first before any implementation.

Does TDD discipline work with monorepo and project-aware testing setups?▼

Yes, TDD discipline supports monorepo and project-aware testing by integrating with project-awareness components to detect frameworks and ensure tests drive implementation tailored to each project.
