What is the Red-Green-Refactor cycle in this skill?

It is a three-step process: 'Red' involves writing a failing test, 'Green' is writing minimal code to pass that test, and 'Refactor' is cleaning up the code while keeping the test passing.

Does this TDD skill support languages other than Python?

Yes. While the documentation provides Python and Pytest examples, the TDD principles and workflow patterns are language-agnostic and can be applied to any stack Claude Code supports.

Can I use this for integration and end-to-end testing?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific patterns for organizing unit, integration, and e2e tests to ensure a balanced and fast-running test suite.

How does this help with code coverage?

The skill provides guidance on aiming for meaningful coverage of business logic and edge cases rather than obsessing over 100% coverage of boilerplate code.

Guides the Red-Green-Refactor cycle to ensure high-quality, verified code through test-first development.

소개

The TDD Workflow skill provides a structured framework for verification-driven development within Claude Code. It orchestrates the classic Red-Green-Refactor cycle, helping developers write meaningful failing tests before implementing minimal, passing code. By offering specific guidance on test organization, Pytest integration, and coverage strategies, this skill ensures that software is built on a foundation of robust automated checks, reducing bugs and simplifying long-term maintenance.
