## What problem does it solve? This Skill guides AI agents through implementing features using Uncle Bob's Test-Driven Development principles, emphasizing rapid, safe delivery via the Red-Green-Refactor cycle and the Three Laws of TDD.
## Core Features & Use Cases
Use the TDD workflow to write a failing test for a simple feature, implement the minimal code to pass, then refactor.

To implement test-driven development cycles, follow the Red-Green-Refactor workflow: enumerate test cases, write a failing test, write minimal production code to pass, then refactor safely. This approach guides feature delivery from start to finish.
The three laws of TDD enforce strict test-driven development progression: write no production code without a failing test, write only enough test code to fail, and write only enough production code to pass. This cycle ensures safe, maintainable software testing.
Yes, this TDD workflow applies to feature work, bug fixes, and refactoring across various codebases. It guides AI agents through safe implementation by emphasizing disciplined design and maintainable test code aligned with TDD best practices.
No special dependencies are required. You need only a standard development environment and a codified workflow as described in the SKILL.md frontmatter to start writing failing tests and implementing minimal production code.
The best way to apply Uncle Bob's TDD principles is to have AI agents follow the rapid, safe delivery cycle: understand the feature, enumerate test cases, write failing tests, implement minimal code, and refactor. This ensures tests guide implementation.
Skipping the failing test step in Red-Green-Refactor breaks the TDD cycle because you lose immediate feedback on test validity. Writing a failing test first confirms the test checks the right behavior before writing minimal production code to pass it.
