What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps in implementing behavior using a red-green-refactor loop, observable tests, and small vertical slices. It is useful when the user needs TDD, test-first work, regression-first fixes, or features requiring clear behavior before implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Red-Green-Refactor Loop: Drive implementation from observable behavior by writing a failing test, making it pass with the smallest change, then refactoring without changing behavior.
  • Observable Tests: Write tests that focus on observable behavior, avoiding private implementation details.
  • Small Vertical Slices: Break down a feature into the smallest vertical behavior slice for easier testing and implementation.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature, use this Skill to ensure that each step is tested and passes before moving on to the next.

Quick Start

Implement a feature using TDD by writing a failing test for the desired behavior, making it pass, and then refactoring.
