Is CI/CD integration part of this skill?

Yes, the skill mandates that all changes pass automated testing, linting, and type checks through a CI/CD pipeline before being merged.

What is the Kadoppe Constitution skill?

It is a specialized set of instructions for Claude Code that enforces high-level software development principles like TDD, YAGNI, and full-cycle development to ensure code quality.

What does Full-Cycle Development mean in this context?

It means a feature is only considered complete when the API, frontend, tests, and deployment configurations are all implemented, verified, and ready for a demo.

Does this skill support Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

Yes, it strictly enforces the Red-Green-Refactor cycle, requiring tests to be written and failed before any functional code is implemented.

How does it handle software architecture?

It promotes 'Simple Architecture' by discouraging premature abstraction and following the YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principle to reduce technical debt.

Developer Tools

Enforces professional software development principles including TDD, simple architecture, and full-cycle development for all coding tasks.

This skill acts as a foundational framework for software development, ensuring that Claude adheres to the 'kadoppe' philosophy of high-quality engineering. It mandates Test-Driven Development (TDD) with a strict Red-Green-Refactor cycle, promotes essential simplicity through YAGNI principles, and requires Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for all environment changes. By guiding developers through the entire feature lifecycle—from backend and API development to frontend implementation—it ensures that every pull request is production-ready, fully tested, and integrated through automated CI/CD pipelines.

Key Features

01Simple Architecture Principles: Prevents over-engineering through YAGNI and minimal abstraction strategies.

02Full-Cycle Development: Ensures features are completed across the entire stack before being considered done.

030 GitHub stars

04Strict TDD Enforcement: Mandates the Red-Green-Refactor cycle and high test coverage for all new features.

05Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automates infrastructure management while ensuring secure secret handling.

06Automated CI/CD Workflows: Requires comprehensive testing, linting, and type checking for every code change.

Use Cases

01Maintaining high code quality and 80%+ test coverage in complex software projects.

02Automating infrastructure deployments and ensuring reliable, verified CI/CD pipelines.

03Enforcing consistent development standards across full-stack feature implementations.
