What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps developers define and verify expected behaviors through tests or other checks before modifying production code, reducing errors and improving reliability.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Behavior Specification: Define or choose a test, fixture, or manual check to verify a feature or bug fix.
- Verification Process: Run the check to confirm it fails for the expected reason, then implement code to pass it.
- Use Case: A developer writes a unit test for a new feature, runs it to see it fail, then modifies code and reruns until it passes, ensuring correctness.
Quick Start
Specify the expected behavior using a test or verification check before editing the main codebase.
