SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces a Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflow by installing infrastructure that makes Claude Code automatically follow the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR pattern. It minimizes manual prompting and reduces cognitive load by standardizing how features are implemented.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated TDD Infra: Installs CLAUDE.md configuration, git hooks, and npm scripts to enforce a test-first approach.
  • Phase-by-Phase Guidance: Guides users through RED, GREEN, and REFACTOR phases with safe, reversible changes.
  • Safety & Reversibility: Backups existing files and enables rollback to a known-good state.
  • Coverage & Quality: Supports coverage gates and Testing Trophy methodology to improve code quality.

Quick Start

Install and activate the TDD automation, then say: "Implement feature X" to trigger the workflow.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce test-driven development in my Claude Code projects?▼

This Skill automates TDD enforcement by installing git hooks, npm scripts, and CLAUDE.md configuration that guide you through the red-green-refactor workflow. It eliminates manual prompting and standardizes how features are implemented across your project.

Can I use TDD automation with multiple testing frameworks?▼

Yes. This Skill supports multiple testing frameworks through configurable npm scripts and Testing Trophy models. It applies coverage gates and test templates across your chosen framework setup.

What happens if I need to roll back the TDD configuration?▼

The Skill creates non-destructive backups of existing files before making changes, enabling safe rollback to a known-good state. All modifications are merge-safe and reversible.

How does this Skill ensure tests are written before code?▼

Pre-commit git hooks check that tests exist before allowing commits. Combined with CLAUDE.md guidance through each phase, this enforces the red-green-refactor pattern automatically without extra prompting.

What's the difference between TDD automation and manual test-first development?▼

Automation reduces cognitive load by standardizing workflow phases, enforcing coverage gates, and using git hooks to prevent commits that skip tests. Manual approaches require consistent discipline; automation makes it structural.
