Can this skill identify bad testing habits?

Yes, it specifically helps you avoid anti-patterns such as 'Test After', testing implementation details instead of behavior, over-mocking, and creating flaky or giant tests.

Which frameworks are supported by the TDD skill?

The skill provides specialized patterns and guides for Laravel (using PHPUnit/Pest), Flutter, and Vue (using Vitest/Jest).

How does this skill help with the Red-Green-Refactor cycle?

It provides strict rules and checklists for each phase: writing failing tests (Red), implementing minimal code to pass (Green), and improving code quality without changing behavior (Refactor).

When should I use TDD versus manual testing?

TDD is highly recommended for business logic, data transformations, and API endpoints, while simple CRUD or UI-only changes might be suitable for manual or integration-level testing.

What are the recommended test coverage targets?

The skill suggests minimum targets such as 90-100% for business logic, 85-95% for services, and 70-85% for UI components.

Security & Testing

Implements rigorous Test-Driven Development workflows to ensure high-quality, bug-free code through structured red-green-refactor cycles.

This skill empowers Claude to act as a TDD expert, guiding developers through the disciplined 'test-first' approach across multiple modern frameworks including Laravel, Flutter, and Vue. It provides a structured framework for the Red-Green-Refactor cycle, helping users define failing tests first, write minimal passing code, and perform clean refactoring while maintaining optimal coverage targets. By enforcing a strict test pyramid and identifying common anti-patterns like over-mocking or implementation testing, this skill ensures that software architecture remains robust, maintainable, and highly reliable.
