What is the TDD Execution skill for Claude Code?

It is a specialized workflow that allows Claude to autonomously implement software features by writing tests first, followed by minimal implementation and automated code reviews.

Does it support version control?

Yes, it automatically generates atomic commits following the Conventional Commits standard for every task it successfully completes.

How does this skill handle implementation failures?

If a test fails to pass after several attempts, the skill triggers a root-cause-analysis subagent using the 'Five Whys' methodology to identify and fix the underlying issue.

Can I resume work if the AI session is interrupted?

Yes. The skill maintains a persistent plan file that tracks the status of every task, allowing Claude to perform a verification sweep and resume exactly where it left off.

What testing styles does it support?

The skill is designed to translate Gherkin scenarios into executable tests, ensuring that implementation perfectly matches business requirements.

Security & Testing

Automates the complete Test-Driven Development lifecycle within Claude Code to ensure robust, verified feature implementation through autonomous cycles.

The TDD Execution skill provides a structured framework for Claude to autonomously implement features using Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles. It guides the AI through a rigorous engineering lifecycle: defining behavior via failing tests, implementing minimal code to pass, undergoing automated code review gates, and performing atomic commits. By incorporating a 'Five Whys' root-cause analysis for failures and persistent plan file updates, this skill ensures that complex coding tasks remain organized, verifiable, and resilient even across interrupted sessions.
