Test-driven development workflow for implementing features or fixing bugs through red-green-refactor. Use when the user asks to build, change, or fix behavior and the codebase has a practical automated test surface.

TDD
Use this skill to make behavior changes with a tight feedback loop.
Workflow
-
Clarify behavior
- Identify the user-visible behavior, input, output, and edge cases.
- Find the smallest vertical slice that proves the behavior.
- If the request is ambiguous, make a conservative assumption and state it.
-
Find the test seam
- Prefer the seam closest to real behavior: integration, API, component, e2e, then unit.
- Avoid tests that only assert implementation details.
- If no useful seam exists, note that as design pressure and choose the best available signal.
-
Red
- Write one failing test for the next slice.
- Run only the narrowest relevant test command first.
- Confirm the failure is for the expected reason.
-
Green
- Implement the smallest change that passes the test.
- Keep changes scoped to the behavior under test.
- Do not refactor unrelated code during green.
-
Refactor
- Improve clarity only after the test passes.
- Preserve behavior and rerun the relevant tests.
- Remove duplication only when it is real and local.
-
Expand
- Add edge cases only after the core path works.
- Repeat red-green-refactor for each slice.
- Finish by running the broader relevant suite.
Test Quality Rules
- A good test fails before the fix and passes after it.
- Test names should describe behavior, not implementation.
- Do not mock the thing being tested.
- Prefer fixtures over hand-built objects when local patterns already use fixtures.
- Keep assertions specific enough to catch the bug or behavior contract.
Verification
- The new or changed test fails before the implementation when practical.
- The focused test command passes after the implementation.
- A broader relevant suite passes when the change touches shared behavior.
- Untested risk is named when broader validation is not practical.
