This Skill guides developers to adopt and practice Test-Driven Development, providing a structured, repeatable workflow that makes test-first outcomes the default and reduces debugging time.
Start with a concise plan: Inspect the codebase for existing tests, run tests to establish a baseline, then follow the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR loop to add tests and implement minimal code.

To start test-driven development in an existing codebase, first explore the environment to detect existing tests and frameworks, run tests to establish a green baseline, then follow the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR loop to add new tests and implement minimal code.
The red-green-refactor cycle in TDD is a core loop where you first write a failing test, implement minimal code to make it pass, and then clean up the design. This structured workflow makes test-first outcomes the default and reduces debugging time.
Test-driven development supports bug fixes, refactoring, and legacy code through mode-based guidance. It provides concrete steps tailored to each scenario, establishing a structured, repeatable workflow for maintaining robust code across different development tasks.
To establish a green baseline before writing new tests, inspect the codebase for existing tests, identify the active test frameworks, and run the current test suite to ensure all pre-existing tests pass before entering the red-green-refactor loop.
The best way to maintain a test-first workflow is to automate TDD practices across the codebase using environment exploration checklists and mode selection, ensuring teams consistently apply the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle for new features and refactoring efforts.
