Are there any exceptions to using TDD with this skill?

TDD can be skipped for throwaway prototypes, generated code, or configuration files, but only after consulting with a human partner.

How does this skill handle the Red-Green-Refactor cycle?

It follows a strict loop: Write a failing test (Red), verify the failure, write the minimal code to pass (Green), verify the pass, and finally clean up the code (Refactor).

Why must I watch a test fail before writing code?

Watching a test fail proves that the test is actually checking the intended logic and ensures it isn't passing by accident or testing existing behavior.

What is the 'Iron Law' of this TDD skill?

The Iron Law dictates that no production code is written without a failing test first; if code is written before the test, it must be deleted and restarted.

安全与测试

Enforces a strict Red-Green-Refactor workflow to ensure high-quality, verified code implementation for every feature and bugfix.

This skill integrates a rigorous Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodology into Claude's coding workflow, mandating that every feature or bug fix begins with a failing test. By adhering to the 'Iron Law' of no production code without a prior failing test, it eliminates technical debt, ensures clear design intent, and provides a systematic way to catch regressions before they reach production. It guides the AI through the complete Red-Green-Refactor cycle, emphasizing minimal implementation code and behavior-focused assertions.
