The Conductor TDD workflow implements tasks through an 11-step process guiding the Red-Green-Refactor cycle, managing phase checkpoints, handling git commits, and executing the verification protocol from task selection to plan updates.

The Red-Green-Refactor cycle is the core TDD development process where you write failing tests, write code to pass them, and then refactor. This Skill guides you through applying this cycle for each task.

Managing git commits during TDD phase checkpoints involves standardizing commit messages, recording git notes, and tracking SHAs. This ensures code traceability and robust verification upon completing entire work phases.

Handling error recovery in the TDD development process requires following the defined verification protocol and quality assurance gates. This Skill provides error recovery strategies to ensure code quality throughout the task lifecycle.

Prior testing experience is not strictly required to use Conductor's TDD workflow. A developer new to the framework can use this Skill to understand and apply the required TDD process from initial coding to final checkpointing.
