You can automate the test-driven development cycle by using a skill that guides you through the RED, GREEN, and VERIFY phases. It analyzes existing patterns to write failing tests, implements the minimal code to pass them, and runs typechecks, lint, and tests.

The RED GREEN refactor workflow is a test-driven development process where you write a failing test, implement minimal code to make it pass, and then refactor. This skill automates that cycle end-to-end, ensuring tests drive implementation and quality from the start.

To structure feature development around unit tests, invoke the TDD skill with your target feature or test file. It applies a test-driven approach by guiding you through writing failing tests, implementing code to satisfy them, and running standard verification steps like lint and typechecks.

Yes, you can use this TDD workflow for refactoring scenarios. The skill applies test-driven development to both feature creation and refactors, ensuring that your existing test conventions and project gate checks drive the implementation changes.

To ensure new code passes project gate checks, the VERIFY phase runs typechecks, lint, and tests after implementation. The skill satisfies integration with project test conventions and standard verification steps to confirm readiness before finalizing.

No additional dependencies are required to start writing failing tests with this TDD skill. It analyzes your existing codebase patterns and specs to guide the RED phase, working directly with your current project test conventions and setup.
