tdd-workflow

The tdd-workflow Skill orchestrates the tdd-coordinator to drive the seven-step Red/Green/Refactor process, managing issue splitting, team formation, and worktree sharing to prevent conflicts and ensure traceability across multiple development teams.

The Red Green Refactor cycle consists of seven steps: prepare, Red, Red Gate, Green, Green Gate, Refactor, and finish. Each phase includes explicit gates and evidence requirements to verify progress before advancing the team workflow.

Local and CI dual-mode testing in this TDD workflow allows teams to execute the Red/Green/Refactor process in both local development environments and continuous integration pipelines, maintaining consistent gate verification and evidence collection across both modes.

Gate verification is needed in the TDD process at the Red Gate and Green Gate stages to ensure tests are properly written before implementation and correctly passing before refactoring. This Skill enforces evidence collection at these predefined gates.

Yes, you can use Git worktrees to manage parallel TDD tasks. This Skill enables structured worktree sharing and dependency-based task lists to prevent conflicts between teams working on split issues simultaneously during the TDD cycle.

The best way to split issues for TDD teams is using the tdd-coordinator's structured issue splitting mechanism, which creates dependency-based task lists and coordinates worktree management to ensure parallel work remains traceable and conflict-free.
