Shipyard TDD FAQs

Question 1

When does this skill activate?

Accepted Answer

It activates during any feature or bugfix implementation, specifically when files matching test patterns (like *.test.* or *.spec.*) are detected or when TDD-related triggers are used.

Question 2

What happens if a test passes immediately during the RED phase?

Accepted Answer

If a test passes immediately, you are likely testing existing behavior or the test itself is flawed. You must fix the test so it fails correctly before writing implementation code.

Question 3

What is the Shipyard TDD Iron Law?

Accepted Answer

The Iron Law states that no production code should be written without a failing test first; any code written without a preceding test must be deleted and started over.

Question 4

Can I skip TDD for simple tasks?

Accepted Answer

The skill discourages skipping TDD, asserting that even 'simple' code can break. TDD ensures every behavior is verified, documented, and safe to refactor later.

Question 5

Does this skill help with refactoring?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is essential for refactoring. By moving to the REFACTOR phase only after a GREEN test, you can clean up code with the confidence that existing functionality remains intact.
