TDD Skill

When to use this skill

  • new features that can be unit tested
  • bug fixes (always add a regression test if practical)
  • refactors (protect behavior with tests first)

Rules

  • Prefer red -> green -> refactor.
  • If tests are hard, still add verification: minimal repro script, integration test, or clear manual steps.
  • Keep tests focused: one behavior per test where possible.
  • Name tests by behavior, not implementation details.

Process

  1. Define the behavior change (what should be true after).
  2. Write/adjust a test to capture it (make it fail first if possible).
  3. Implement the minimal change to pass.
  4. Refactor if needed (keep passing).
  5. Run the relevant test suite + any linters.

Output requirements

When you change code, include:

  • what tests you added/changed
  • how to run them
  • what they prove
