SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill facilitates efficient test-driven development (TDD) by automating red-green-refactor cycles in vertical slices, ensuring behavior-first tests and robust quality gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

Vertical Slice TDD: Supports TDD in vertical slices, ensuring behavior-first testing and reducing complexity.
Quality Gates: Enforces type checks, lints, and testing after changes to maintain code quality.
Beads Integration: Integrates with Beads for task tracking, allowing for easy logging of progress.

Quick Start

To start a TDD slice, use the 'tdd' skill to create a new test for a specific behavior: 'start tdd slice "feature: <behavior>'. Then, run the cycle: 'execute tdd cycle'.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate test-driven development cycles for vertical slices?▼

Automating test-driven development cycles for vertical slices involves executing red-green-refactor workflows with behavior-first tests and robust quality gate checks. This Skill automates that process, enforcing type checks, lints, and testing after changes to maintain code quality.

What is behavior-first testing in vertical slices?▼

Behavior-first testing in vertical slices is an approach that writes tests targeting specific behaviors before implementation, reducing complexity. It ensures each slice delivers end-to-end functionality while maintaining strict quality gates throughout the TDD cycle.

How do I enforce quality gates during TDD automation?▼

Enforcing quality gates during TDD automation requires running type checks, lints, and tests after every code change. This Skill automatically validates these gates within the red-green-refactor cycle to maintain code quality before progression.

Can I integrate TDD automation with issue tracking systems?▼

Yes, you can integrate TDD automation with issue tracking systems. This Skill integrates with Beads for task tracking, allowing you to log progress and manage test-driven development slices directly alongside your issue tracking workflow.

How do I start a TDD slice for a specific behavior?▼

To start a TDD slice for a specific behavior, use the command to create a new test targeting that behavior, then execute the TDD cycle. This initiates the automated red-green-refactor workflow with quality gate enforcement.

Does this approach work without manual test maintenance?▼

This approach minimizes manual test maintenance by automating the red-green-refactor cycles and enforcing quality gates automatically. However, you still need to define the target behavior when starting each vertical slice for the automation to proceed.
