This Skill unit provides guidance and a structured approach to Test-Driven Development (TDD), addressing the challenge of writing tests before implementation, which can lead to better code quality and maintainability.
Start by reading CONTEXT.md if available, then create a test for a single behavior, write the minimal code to pass it, and refactor when all tests pass.

Test-driven development is a structured workflow where you write tests before implementation to ensure behavior-driven design. This approach improves code quality and maintainability by enforcing minimal implementation and continuous refactoring.
Start by reading your project context, then create a test for a single behavior, write the minimal code required to pass it, and refactor once all tests pass. This structured incremental loop keeps development strictly focused on expected software behavior.
A common TDD anti-pattern is horizontal slicing, which incorrectly structures tests around internal implementation details rather than behavior. You should focus tests strictly on public interfaces and expected outcomes to avoid brittle and ineffective software testing.
Yes, efficiently implementing test-driven development requires an existing understanding of TDD principles and general coding. The provided workflow focuses on behavior-driven testing and refactoring practices rather than teaching foundational programming concepts.
You should refactor during the test-driven development process only after all tests pass. This ensures your refactoring efforts maintain existing behavior while improving code structure, guided by a checklist verifying that tests remain focused on public interfaces.
