This Skill enforces Test-Driven Development practices by requiring tests to be written before implementation, preventing regressions and guiding feature work.
Read the skill to begin. Create a new test file for your feature, run the test suite to trigger RED, implement minimal code to pass, and refactor while keeping tests green.

Test-Driven Development for API endpoints and UI components requires writing a failing test first, implementing minimal code to pass, and then refactoring while keeping tests green. This structured RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle prevents regressions and guides feature work.
The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle is a test-first discipline where you create a failing test, write minimal implementation code to pass it, and refactor safely. It enforces quality assurance by preventing code changes without corresponding test coverage.
Yes, test-first workflows integrate with existing git hooks and validation processes. The structured RED-GREEN-REFACTOR steps include example commands and test scaffolding that connect directly into your current software engineering validation pipeline.
To start TDD for a new feature, create a new test file, run the test suite to trigger the RED state, implement minimal code to achieve GREEN, and finally refactor while ensuring all tests remain green.
Yes, this TDD workflow supports both individual development and team collaboration. It applies across software projects including services and UI components, ensuring consistent test-first discipline regardless of team size.
A strict test-first approach may not suit exploratory prototyping where rapid API or UI changes outpace test scaffolding. The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle enforces regression prevention, which can slow down initial experimental software engineering phases.
