What happens if Claude tries to skip a test?

The skill configures CLAUDE.md and git hooks to enforce the red-green-refactor cycle, preventing the implementation of features until a failing test is established.

Is this skill suitable for rapid prototyping?

No, it is specifically designed for production-grade projects that require strict test requirements and long-term code reliability.

How do I remove the TDD enforcement?

The skill is non-destructive and includes a rollback utility script located in the .tdd-automation/scripts directory to revert changes safely.

Does this skill work with existing test frameworks?

Yes, it automatically detects and supports major frameworks including Vitest, Jest, Mocha, and AVA.

Security & Testing

Enforces a rigorous red-green-refactor TDD cycle within Claude Code through automated configuration and git hooks.

About

This skill transforms Claude Code into a TDD-native agent by automating the red-green-refactor cycle. It configures your local environment—including git hooks, coverage thresholds, and specific npm scripts—to ensure every feature begins with a failing test. By implementing the Testing Trophy model, it prioritizes integration tests while maintaining strict coverage gates, making it an essential tool for high-reliability projects and developers committed to code quality and sustainable software architecture.

Key Features

Implementation of the Testing Trophy model for optimized test distribution
Multi-framework support for Vitest, Jest, Mocha, and AVA
Configurable coverage gates for lines, branches, and functions
0 GitHub stars
Automated red-green-refactor workflow enforcement via CLAUDE.md
Git pre-commit hooks to prevent unverified or untested code submission

Use Cases

Establishing a strict TDD culture in production-grade software repositories
Ensuring LLM-generated code adheres to specific architectural and quality standards
Automating the setup of test infrastructure and coverage reporting for new projects
