Reading test output and coordinating actions across tmux panes can be error-prone and tedious in a multi-language project. This skill provides a consistent, pane-driven approach to observe test progress, detect failures, and drive the TDD cycle without leaving the terminal.
Open a tmux session with a code pane and a test-runner pane, then activate tmux-tdd to start monitoring test output and orchestrating the workflow.

Automating test-driven development in a tmux split-pane workflow involves monitoring test output from a test runner pane to drive the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle. This skill parses standard pass/fail patterns to coordinate pane actions and advance the workflow automatically when tests pass.
Yes, you can parse test output from multiple languages in tmux. This skill recognizes standard pass/fail patterns from common test runners including cargo test, pytest, jest, vitest, and go test, enabling consistent test monitoring across different programming languages.
tmux-tdd orchestrates the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle by monitoring and interpreting test output from tmux panes. It detects test failures to pause for debugging and automatically advances to the next workflow step when tests pass, coordinating actions between code and test runner panes.
To use pane-based TDD orchestration in tmux, you need a tmux session configured with at least a code pane and a test-runner pane. You also need common test runners installed for your project's language, such as cargo test, pytest, jest, or go test.
Yes, this TDD workflow supports test runners like jest and vitest. It works with common test runners across multiple languages, including cargo test for Rust, pytest for Python, and go test for Go, recognizing their standard output patterns to detect pass or fail states.
Using tmux panes for test-driven development prevents error-prone and tedious window switching by keeping code and test output visible simultaneously. It provides a consistent, pane-driven approach to observe test progress, detect failures, and drive the TDD cycle without leaving the terminal.
