SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill promotes writing tests before implementation to ensure code behaves as intended, catching design flaws early and reducing time spent on debugging after features are built.

Core Features & Use Cases

Test-first workflow: Write a failing test, observe it fail, then implement minimal code to pass.
Quality assurance: Establish reliable behavior before writing production code.
Use Case: When adding a new feature or bugfix, begin by writing targeted tests that define expected behavior, then implement just enough code to satisfy the tests.

Quick Start

Use the TDD skill to guide the testing process at the start of a feature implementation. For example, write a failing unit test for a new function, then implement the minimal code to pass that test.
