To enforce a TDD workflow, this skill coordinates phase checkpoints and task lifecycles using RED-GREEN-REFACTOR steps. It tracks progress through plan.md and standardizes phase completion checks before advancing.

The best way to track plan-driven progress is updating plan.md as work progresses and marking phase checkpoints. This maintains structured task lifecycles and verifies completion of each RED-GREEN-REFACTOR step.

You can standardize git commit messages for TDD phase completion by applying this skill's git-commit protocols. It enforces standardized commit messaging and git notes alongside checkpoint documentation to maintain quality gates.

Conductor-driven task management relies on plan.md to initiate tasks and execute the TDD workflow. Without a plan.md file, the skill cannot track plan-driven progress or mark checkpoints during the structured task lifecycle.

Yes, the 11-step TDD workflow includes refactoring and checkpoint documentation. It executes the full RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle for each task and requires checkpoint documentation to verify phase completion before achieving green tests.
