Test driven development

Skill a5c-ai/babysitter/library/methodologies/cc10x/skills/test-driven-development

Babysitter enforces obedience on agentic workforces and enables them to manage extremely complex tasks and workflows through deterministic, hallucination-free self-orchestration

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Strict RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle enforcement. Tests are never skipped or deferred. Run mode only, never watch mode. Exit code evidence mandatory.

SKILL.md

1.5 KB, as published. Nobody here has run it

Non-Negotiable Rules

Always use run mode (CI=true npm test or --run flag)
NEVER use watch mode (prevents hanging processes)
Use timeout guards (timeout 60s) as backup
Record exit codes as evidence at each phase
If tests fail 3 consecutive times in GREEN, report failure status
Never skip RED phase (failing test must exist before implementation)
Never defer tests to "later" -- TDD means tests first

Scope Discipline

If implementation requires >3 file changes, flag for scope review
Architectural choices require user approval unless pre-approved in plan
New dependencies require user approval

When to Use

Every feature implementation in BUILD workflow
Every bug fix in DEBUG workflow (regression test)
