What problem does it solve?

Teams practicing Test-Driven Development often skip the disciplined Red phase, leading to ambiguous requirements and fragile implementations. This skill guides you to start by writing a failing test that defines the expected behavior before any code exists, ensuring a clear contract and preventing premature optimizations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Red-phase guidance: Create and organize failing tests to drive feature design and validation.
  • AAA test pattern enforcement: Ensure tests have Arrange-Act-Assert structure and clear naming.
  • Phase tooling: Provide prompts and lightweight scripts to manage Red-Green transitions and test runs.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to craft a failing test that represents the next feature and outline the Red phase workflow for your project.
