Does it integrate with testing scripts?

Yes, it is designed to work with TDD enforcement scripts to verify phases, run test suites, and ensure coverage hasn't dropped during refactoring.

What specific principles does this skill follow?

It focuses on DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), SOLID principles, and removing code smells like magic numbers, long functions, and deep nesting.

Can I add new features while using this skill?

No, the skill enforces a 'no new features' rule during the refactor phase to prevent scope creep and ensure the stability of existing tests.

When should I activate the TDD Refactor Phase skill?

Activate this skill once your tests are green (passing) but your code requires cleanup, deduplication, or better architectural alignment.

Does this skill change my code's behavior?

No, the primary goal of the Refactor Phase is to improve internal structure while ensuring external behavior remains identical and all tests pass.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Optimizes code quality and maintainability during the Test-Driven Development refactoring phase without altering external behavior.

Acerca de

The TDD Refactor Phase skill guides Claude through the critical third stage of the Test-Driven Development cycle. It ensures that once tests pass, code is cleaned, de-duplicated, and aligned with SOLID principles and design patterns while strictly preserving existing functionality. By enforcing a workflow of continuous testing and incremental improvements, it helps developers eliminate technical debt, improve readability, and maintain high-quality codebases without the risk of regression.
