TDD Workflow

TDD Workflow enforces the classic red-green-refactor cycle in your AI-assisted development. Instead of writing code first, the agent writes a failing test, implements the minimum code to make it pass, then refactors.

The Cycle

1. Red — Write a test that describes the desired behavior. Run it to confirm it fails.
2. Green — Write the minimal implementation to make the test pass. No more, no less.
3. Refactor — Clean up the code while keeping all tests green.
4. Commit — Make a small, focused commit.

Why Use This Skill

• Forces the agent to think about requirements before implementation
• Produces code with built-in test coverage
• Keeps implementations minimal and focused
• Creates a natural commit rhythm with working checkpoints
