TDD prevents brittle, implementation-coupled code changes by forcing behavior-focused tests that guide development and enable safe refactoring.
Apply the tdd skill to your feature by writing one behavior test first, implementing only the minimum needed to make it pass, and repeating the cycle until all intended behaviors are covered.

Test-driven development starts by writing one failing behavior test for a new feature, then implementing the minimum code needed to make it pass, and repeating this red-green-refactor cycle until all intended behaviors are covered.
Refactoring breaks tests when they are coupled to implementation details rather than public interfaces. Behavior-over-implementation testing using integration-style checks ensures tests verify expected outcomes and safely survive code restructuring.
The red-green-refactor loop is a test-driven development cycle where you write a failing test, implement the smallest code to pass it, and then safely refactor the code while keeping tests green.
Tracer-bullet iterations are used in test-driven development to build features incrementally by writing one test and its direct minimal implementation step, preventing horizontal batching and ensuring vertical slicing through the workflow.
TDD works for fixing bugs by first writing a failing integration-style test that captures the buggy behavior through a public interface, then implementing the minimal code correction to turn the test green.
Test-driven development requires strict adherence to vertical slicing and avoiding horizontal batching of tests. If you refactor before achieving green or test implementation details, TDD cannot prevent brittle, implementation-coupled code changes.
