Can this skill help with broken refactors?

Yes, it specifically includes a Refactor Phase Failure protocol that emphasizes immediate rollbacks and the implementation of smaller, incremental structural changes.

How does the rollback protocol work?

The protocol follows a 6-step process: checking git status, reviewing diffs, checkout out known good files, running tests to verify stability, and identifying smaller changes to move forward.

What is the primary purpose of the TDD Failure Recovery skill?

It provides Claude with specific protocols to handle unexpected behaviors during the Test-Driven Development cycle, ensuring that failures are diagnosed correctly and the codebase returns to a stable state quickly.

What should I do if a test passes during the Red phase?

This skill guides the developer to verify if the feature already exists or if the test is flawed, then provides steps to revise the test so it correctly identifies the missing functionality.

セキュリティとテスト

Manages unexpected test behaviors and implements structured recovery protocols during the Test-Driven Development cycle.

概要

The TDD Failure Recovery skill provides a comprehensive framework for handling disruptions within the Red-Green-Refactor workflow. It enables Claude to diagnose specific failure modes—such as false-positive 'Red' tests, syntax errors, and regression bugs—while providing standardized rollback protocols and test isolation techniques. This skill is essential for maintaining development velocity by ensuring that unexpected test results are resolved through a methodical, state-based recovery process rather than trial and error.
