What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams adopt disciplined Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices to reduce defects, speed feedback, and improve design by codifying patterns, checklists, and language-specific quick starts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Red/Green/Refactor loop: enforce small, safe iterations that reveal behavior first.
  • Outside-In and Inside-Out strategies: choose boundary-focused or core-logic-driven approaches for stable evolution.
  • Contract Testing & Seams: use consumer/provider contracts to prevent integration surprises.
  • Characterization Tests for Legacy Code: safely capture existing behavior before refactoring.
  • Anti-Flakiness & Determinism: inject clocks, seed randomness, and isolate tests for reliable results.
  • Language-Specific Guidance: quick-start patterns for Python, JS/TS, Go, Java/Kotlin, Rust.

Quick Start

  • Red: Write a small failing test that demonstrates the desired behavior or reproduces a bug.
  • Green: Implement the simplest code to pass the test.
  • Refactor: Improve design and readability while keeping tests green.
  • Commit often: commit after green to keep feedback fast.
