SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill guides teams through task-driven development using Conductor's TDD workflow, helping manage phase checkpoints, track progress, and standardize git commit practices across tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD lifecycle guidance: follow the red-green-refactor cycle from plan review to verification.
  • Checkpoint and phase management: coordinate phase checkpoints and track completion across a track.
  • Git commit discipline: provide a structured approach to committing task changes with clear messages and task references.
  • Verification protocol support: outline and enforce verification gates to ensure quality throughout implementation.
  • Plan-based task tracking: record progress and decisions in plan.md to maintain traceability.

Quick Start

Begin with the next task in plan.md, then perform the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle and document checkpoints.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate a TDD workflow across multiple tasks?

Coordinate a TDD workflow by applying plan.md task tracks, enforcing the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle, and managing phase checkpoints to track completion across implementation tasks.

What is the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle and how do phase checkpoints work?

The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle guides task-driven development from plan review to verification, while phase checkpoints coordinate completion gates across a track to ensure quality throughout implementation.

How do I standardize git commit messages for task tracking?

Standardize git commit practices by applying structured commit protocols that provide clear messages and task references, maintaining traceability through plan-based progress updates.

Do I need a plan.md file to track TDD progress?

Yes, plan-based task tracking uses plan.md to record progress and decisions, applying task tracks and phase checkpoints to maintain traceability throughout the TDD workflow.

What's the best way to enforce verification gates during test-driven development?

Enforce verification gates by outlining and applying verification protocols that ensure quality throughout implementation, coordinating phase checkpoints to block progression until gates pass.

Can I use this TDD workflow pattern for managing complex multi-track plans?

Yes, this workflow pattern coordinates Conductor's TDD workflow across tasks by applying plan.md task tracks and phase checkpoints, suitable for managing complex multi-track implementation plans.
