What is the difference between the guided workflow and the expert agent?

The Guided Workflow uses strict gates to prevent skipping phases, making it ideal for learning or discipline, while the Expert Agent offers flexible support for complex tasks like mutation testing.

Can I use TDD for bug fixing with this skill?

Absolutely. It integrates with spec-driven-debugging to help you write a regression test first, ensuring the bug is truly understood and fixed permanently.

Does this skill work with existing codebases?

Yes, it includes specialized routing for legacy code refactoring and can help establish 'safety nets' before you begin modifying existing logic.

What is the red-green-refactor cycle supported by this skill?

It is the core TDD process where you first write a failing test (Red), then write the minimal code necessary to make it pass (Green), and finally optimize the code structure while keeping tests passing (Refactor).

Security & Testing

Automates and guides the Test-Driven Development lifecycle by orchestrating red-green-refactor cycles and connecting users with expert TDD tools.

The TDD Workflow skill serves as the central discovery and coordination hub for Test-Driven Development within the SpecWeave framework. It intelligently detects TDD intent from natural language prompts and offers tailored execution paths, ranging from a strictly gated red-green-refactor command-line workflow to deep coordination with specialized AI agents for complex scenarios. By enforcing development discipline, providing real-time education on Kent Beck's principles, and integrating with increment planning, it ensures that production code is built upon a foundation of robust, failing-first tests and clean refactoring.
