Traditional development often mixes testing and implementation, leading to late defect discovery and brittle code. This skill provides a structured, repeatable workflow that guides teams to write failing tests first, then implement just enough code to pass, and finally improve structure without changing behavior.
Start by writing a small failing test for a new feature, commit it, then implement the minimal code to pass, and finally refactor while committing each step.

The red-green-refactor cycle is a test-driven development workflow where you write a failing test, implement minimal code to pass it, and then improve the structure without changing behavior.
Start writing tests before code by creating a small failing test for a new feature, committing it, implementing the minimal code to pass, and refactoring while committing each step.
Use test-driven development for a new feature when you need tests to drive design, protect against regressions, and ensure late defect discovery does not lead to brittle code.
Yes, test-driven development enforces commit discipline by requiring explicit commits at the RED, GREEN, and REFACTOR phases to ensure traceability and design stability.
The best way to avoid mixing testing and implementation is applying a structured red-green-refactor workflow that separates writing tests, implementing features, and refactoring into distinct phases.
You need to commit at each step of the red-green-refactor process to enforce phase-based workflow discipline, ensuring traceability and design stability throughout the test-driven development cycle.
