What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents regressions by ensuring adequate test coverage exists before AI-assisted code refactoring, reducing the risk of breaking existing functionality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-Refactor Safety Check: Verifies that unit tests cover the code slated for modification.
  • Automated Test Generation: If coverage is insufficient, it can trigger the generation of characterization tests to capture current behavior.
  • Use Case: Before asking an AI to "clean up" a critical class, you run this guard. If tests are missing, it guides you to create them first, ensuring the refactoring doesn't introduce bugs.

Quick Start

Run the tdd-refactor-guard skill before asking the AI to refactor any code.
