Skill overview

Test-Driven Development, in plain English

Guides vertical, behavior-focused red-green-refactor cycles instead of writing a large test suite up front.

This skill is a strong fit for features and bug fixes where a clear observable contract can drive implementation.Instead of explaining the workflow from scratch each time, you can install it once and give your AI assistant a consistent way to approach the job.

What it helps your AI do

  • Tests public behavior rather than internal implementation details.
  • Moves one small slice at a time from failing test to minimal implementation.
  • Includes an upfront interface and testability check for meaningful changes.
