SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces a strict Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflow, ensuring that code is written only after corresponding tests have been defined and have failed, leading to more robust and well-tested software.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Red-Green-Refactor Cycle: Guides users through writing a failing test, implementing minimal code to pass, and then refactoring.
  • Philosophy Enforcement: Provides clear rules and rationalizations against common TDD violations.
  • Use Case: When developing a new feature, use this Skill to ensure that every piece of code is written with a test that proves its functionality, preventing regressions and improving design.

Quick Start

Initiate the TDD workflow for a new feature by saying "Implement X using TDD".

FAQPage Schema
What is the Red-Green-Refactor cycle in Test-Driven Development?

The Red-Green-Refactor cycle in Test-Driven Development involves writing a failing test, implementing minimal code to pass it, and then refactoring. This Skill automates that workflow by orchestrating agents to enforce the cycle and prevent regressions.

How do I automate the TDD workflow for a new software feature?

You can automate the TDD workflow by prompting the Skill to implement a feature using TDD. It orchestrates dedicated agents for planning, test writing, implementation, and validation to ensure code is written only after tests fail.

Does Test-Driven Development enforcement prevent common coding violations?

Test-Driven Development enforcement prevents common violations by providing clear rules and rationalizations. The Skill enforces strict TDD philosophy, ensuring every piece of code has a corresponding test proving its functionality.

Do I need specific testing frameworks to enforce the TDD philosophy?

You do not need specific testing frameworks to enforce the TDD philosophy. The Skill orchestrates agents for planning, test writing, implementation, and validation without requiring external dependencies or components.

Why write failing tests before implementing code?

Writing failing tests before implementing code ensures the test validates the required functionality and prevents regressions. This Skill automates this process, enforcing strict Test-Driven Development to produce more robust software.

What are the limitations of automating Test-Driven Development?

Automating Test-Driven Development requires orchestrating multiple agents for planning, test writing, implementation, and validation. It is strictly limited to enforcing the Red-Green-Refactor cycle and may not apply to tasks lacking clear functional test definitions.
