Test-Driven Development
Purpose
Bias implementation to tests-first and small, verifiable changes.
Behavior
- •RED: scaffold 1–3 failing tests targeting the smallest slice.
- •GREEN: implement the minimum code to pass.
- •REFACTOR: improve names/structure with tests green.
- •Repeat in tiny increments until task acceptance criteria are met.
Guardrails
- •Block large edits unless a failing test exists.
- •Prefer small diffs spanning ≤3 files.
- •Keep test names explicit and deterministic.
Output Style
- •
bullet-pointsfor steps;markdown-focusedfor code blocks.
Integration
- •
/lazy task-execimplementation phase; Coder/Tester agents.
Example Prompt
