Can I use this for TDD (Test-Driven Development)?

Absolutely. The skill promotes Outside-In development where BDD defines the high-level behavior (what to build) which then drives the inner TDD cycle (how to build it).

What is the 'Three Amigos' practice mentioned in the skill?

It is a collaborative practice where the Business (Product Owner), Development, and Testing perspectives meet to discuss and define features to ensure a shared understanding.

What is the primary focus of the BDD Principles skill?

It focuses on the collaborative philosophy of Behavior-Driven Development, emphasizing shared understanding through conversation, concrete examples, and the Three Amigos practice.

Does this skill support Gherkin syntax?

Yes, it encourages and helps generate Gherkin (Given-When-Then) scenarios which serve as both human-readable documentation and automated test specifications.

How does this skill help with requirement gathering?

It utilizes techniques like Example Mapping and Discovery sessions to turn vague business requirements into specific, executable scenarios that define system behavior.

Security & Testing

Implements core Behavior-Driven Development philosophy and the Three Amigos practice to bridge the gap between business and technical teams.

About

The BDD Principles skill equips Claude with the foundational frameworks and collaborative practices essential for Behavior-Driven Development. It guides users through the Discovery, Development, and Delivery phases by facilitating 'Three Amigos' sessions, 'Example Mapping' workshops, and the creation of 'Living Documentation' using Gherkin syntax. By focusing on ubiquitous language and concrete examples, this skill helps development teams reduce rework, uncover edge cases early, and ensure that the software being built aligns perfectly with business requirements and user needs.

Key Features

Facilitates Three Amigos sessions to align business, development, and testing perspectives.
Promotes Ubiquitous Language to create a shared vocabulary between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Supports Outside-In Development patterns by linking acceptance scenarios to implementation steps.
Guides Example Mapping workshops using color-coded rules, examples, and questions.
Generates Gherkin-style 'Living Documentation' that serves as executable specifications.
39 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Transforming vague business requirements into concrete, testable Gherkin scenarios.
Facilitating collaborative discovery sessions to identify edge cases before a single line of code is written.
Onboarding new team members by providing a structured overview of project behaviors and domain language.
