What problem does it solve?
This skill enforces strict Test-Driven Development using the Red-Green-Refactor cycle. It blocks code generation until tests exist and cover new work, across features, fixes, and refactoring. It documents 13 invalid rationalizations to deter shortcuts and guide disciplined development.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Enforces the Red-Green-Refactor workflow and test-first discipline.
- Blocks code generation until tests exist and pass, ensuring test coverage.
- Documents 13 common rationalizations to prevent shortcuts and guide teams.
- Use Case Example: When adding a new feature, write a failing test first, implement the minimal code to satisfy the test, then refactor while keeping all tests green.
Quick Start
Activate the TDD-strict skill for new features, bug fixes, and refactoring to enforce tests first. Integrate with your existing test suite and begin by writing a failing test
