What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides developers to adopt Kent Beck's TDD/XP practices, framing development around early tests, fast feedback, and clean design. It helps teams reduce defects and improve maintainability by making tests a driving force for design.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Red-Green-Refactor: Write a failing test, implement the minimal code to pass, and refactor.
  • Baby Steps & YAGNI: Start small and iteratively improve.
  • Test Structure Guidance: Demonstrates Arrange-Act-Assert and Given-When-Then patterns.
  • Practical Application: Useful for new feature work, refactoring legacy code, and establishing development discipline.

Quick Start

Practice the red-green-refactor cycle on a small feature: write a failing test, implement the simplest code to pass, then refactor for clarity.
