SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces rigorous software development practices by guiding users through the Test-Driven Development (TDD) cycle and identifying common testing anti-patterns, ensuring higher code quality and maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD Workflow Guidance: Provides step-by-step instructions for the Red-Green-Refactor cycle.
  • Anti-Pattern Detection: Identifies and explains common testing pitfalls like testing mocks or incomplete mocks.
  • Use Case: A developer starting a new feature can use this Skill to ensure they are writing tests before implementation, leading to more robust and well-designed code.

Quick Start

Use the test-discipline skill in TDD mode to write a new test for the user authentication module.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement the red-green-refactor cycle in test-driven development?▼

The red-green-refactor cycle in TDD is implemented by writing a failing test first, writing the minimum code to pass it, and refactoring. This Skill enforces this step-by-step workflow guidance.

What are common testing anti-patterns and how can I detect them in my code?▼

Common testing anti-patterns include testing mocks or using incomplete mocks. This Skill detects these pitfalls in your code and explains them to ensure higher code quality and maintainability.

How do I audit existing tests for quality and maintainability?▼

Auditing existing tests for quality is done by switching this Skill to audit mode. It analyzes your test suite to identify common testing anti-patterns, ensuring your code remains maintainable and verifiable.

Can I use a comprehensive mode that combines both TDD guidance and anti-pattern detection?▼

Yes, a comprehensive full mode combines both TDD workflow guidance and anti-pattern detection. This mode addresses the need for disciplined software development and verifiable code quality simultaneously.

When should I not use test-driven development for new software features?▼

You should reconsider TDD if your goal is rapid prototyping without verifiable code quality. This Skill enforces rigorous software development practices, requiring disciplined test creation before implementation.
