SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that software requirements are clear and testable by writing automated acceptance tests before implementation begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Acceptance Testing: Writes and executes business-readable acceptance tests against Ports-and-Adapters seams.
  • Pre-Implementation Validation: Confirms test failure for the right reasons before any production code is written.
  • Human-Readable Tests: Ensures that acceptance tests are easily understandable by non-technical stakeholders.

Quick Start

Run the skill to create an acceptance test for a new feature in your project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write automated acceptance tests before implementation begins?▼

Pre-implementation validation confirms that automated acceptance tests fail for the correct reasons before any production code is written, ensuring software requirements remain clear and testable from the start.

How do I make acceptance tests readable for non-technical stakeholders?▼

Acceptance tests can be made human-readable by generating business-readable test cases that validate software requirements against Ports-and-Adapters seams, ensuring non-technical stakeholders easily understand the validation logic.

What is the best way to automate test-driven development for software validation?▼

Automating test-driven development for software validation involves generating and executing business-readable acceptance tests against architectural seams to ensure clarity and correctness in software requirements before coding.

Do I need the Claude Code environment to run automated acceptance testing?▼

Yes, automating the creation and validation of business-readable acceptance tests requires the skill to be executed within the Claude Code environment to properly integrate into the software development workflow.

When should I use acceptance test-driven development in my software workflow?▼

Acceptance test-driven development should be used when clear requirements and software validation are critical, specifically applying to workflows where test failure must confirm requirement correctness before implementation.
