Test-driven development is a programming workflow where you write failing tests before coding. The cycle involves writing a failing test, creating minimal code to pass it, then refactoring to ensure high code quality.

To implement test-driven development for new features, use the provided guidelines to write tests first, followed by writing the minimal necessary code to pass them, and then refactoring the implementation for robustness.

You should use test-driven development when starting a new project or making changes to existing code. It is designed for scenarios requiring error prevention, better error handling, and high code quality.

Yes, test-driven development works for fixing bugs in existing code by guiding you to write tests that catch the error first, ensuring your subsequent code changes resolve the issue without introducing regressions.

The best way to start a TDD workflow is to initialize the cycle with the command 'tdd <test_name>', which provides step-by-step guidelines for writing your initial failing test before implementing the feature.
