Test-Driven Generation FAQs

Question 1

What does the Test-Driven Generation skill do?

Accepted Answer

The Test-Driven Generation (TDG) skill automates the standard TDD workflow within Claude Code. It guides the AI to write failing tests first (Red), implement the minimum code to pass (Green), and then optimize the logic (Refactor), ensuring every step is backed by automated verification.

Question 2

How does it improve my development workflow?

Accepted Answer

It enforces disciplined coding habits by preventing the AI from writing implementation code without tests. It also automates Git commit messaging with issue traceability, manages test coverage baselines, and uses integrity-checked scripts to ensure the development environment remains secure and consistent.

Question 3

When should I use this skill?

Accepted Answer

You should use this skill for any development task where code reliability and maintainability are critical. It is particularly effective for implementing new features, fixing bugs with regression tests, or when you need to maintain strict documentation of your development process through Git.

Question 4

What is the importance of the TDG.md file?

Accepted Answer

The TDG.md file acts as the bridge between the AI and your project's specific environment. It contains instructions on which testing framework to use, how to build the project, and how to run coverage reports, allowing the skill to adapt to any technology stack.

Question 5

How does this skill handle Git commits and traceability?

Accepted Answer

The skill identifies your current issue number from branch names or user input. It then automatically prefixes every commit with 'red:', 'green:', or 'refactor:' and appends the issue number, creating a clean, traceable history that meets professional engineering standards.
