What is the 'Testing Trophy' model mentioned in the skill?

Inspired by Kent C. Dodds, it focuses on integration tests as the majority of the suite, supported by unit and static analysis, to ensure real-world reliability.

Can I use this skill on existing projects?

Yes, the installation is non-destructive and merge-safe, meaning it will append TDD configurations to your existing CLAUDE.md and package.json files.

What happens if a commit fails the TDD validation?

The installed git pre-commit hook will block the commit until tests pass. You can bypass this in emergencies using the --no-verify flag.

Which testing frameworks does this skill support?

The skill automatically detects and configures settings for Vitest, Jest, Mocha, and AVA.

Security & Testing

Enforces a disciplined red-green-refactor workflow by automating test-first development requirements and coverage gate configuration.

About

This skill transforms Claude Code into a rigorous TDD assistant, ensuring that failing tests are written and validated before any implementation code is generated. By integrating directly with CLAUDE.md and local package scripts, it automatically manages the lifecycle of red-green-refactor cycles, configures strict coverage thresholds based on the Testing Trophy model, and installs git hooks to prevent regressions. It is an essential tool for production-grade projects where architectural integrity and high test coverage are mandatory requirements.

Key Features

Git pre-commit hooks for mandatory test validation
Testing Trophy model implementation for balanced test distribution
0 GitHub stars
Automated Red-Green-Refactor enforcement via CLAUDE.md
Configurable coverage gates for lines, branches, and functions
Automatic framework detection for Vitest, Jest, Mocha, and AVA

Use Cases

Optimizing test suites using the Testing Trophy distribution model
Setting up standardized test infrastructure and coverage gates for new repositories
Enforcing strict test-first development in AI-assisted coding projects
