TDD Orchestrator FAQs

Question 1

Does this work with any programming language?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is language-agnostic and relies on the test commands, file paths, and linting rules defined in your project's CLAUDE.md file.

Question 2

Can I use this for existing codebases?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It is designed to work with existing source and test files, making it ideal for adding features or fixing bugs in established projects.

Question 3

What happens if an agent fails a review during the pipeline?

Accepted Answer

The skill includes a built-in fix loop that re-dispatches agents with specific feedback, allowing up to three rounds of corrections before escalating to the user.

Question 4

How does it ensure the 'Red' state is valid?

Accepted Answer

It verifies that tests compile but fail at runtime, specifically checking for 'default-value traps' to ensure the test actually exercises the intended logic before any code is written.

Question 5

What is the difference between inline and pipeline modes?

Accepted Answer

Inline mode is a fast, single-agent loop for small changes like bug fixes, while Pipeline mode uses 7 specialized agents (Test Writer, Reviewer, etc.) for complex module development.
