TDD Workflow Skill

Follow the Test-Driven Development cycle for implementing features.

Process

1. RED - Write Failing Test

• •Write a test for the desired behavior
• •Run the test to confirm it fails
• •Ensure the failure is for the right reason

2. GREEN - Make It Pass

• •Write the minimal code to pass the test
• •Don't over-engineer or add extra features
• •Focus only on passing the current test

3. REFACTOR - Improve

• •Clean up the implementation
• •Remove duplication
• •Improve naming and structure
• •Ensure tests still pass

Guidelines

• •One test at a time
• •Small, incremental steps
• •Tests should be fast and isolated
• •Test behavior, not implementation details
• •Aim for ~80% meaningful coverage

Verification

After each cycle:

• • New test written and initially failing
• • Implementation passes the test
• • Code refactored for clarity
• • All existing tests still pass
