tdd SKILL.md skillC

tdd from ctaxnagomi/agent-kd-skill is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ctaxnagomi/agent-kd-skill/tdd@git:20260826.54f6831

Pins git:20260826.54f6831 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Test-Driven Development

TDD is the red → green loop. This skill is the reference that makes that loop produce tests worth keeping: what a good test is, where tests go, the anti-patterns, and the rules of the loop.

## What a good test is

Tests verify behavior through public interfaces, not implementation details. Code can change entirely; tests shouldn't. A good test reads like a specification.

## Seams: where tests go

A **seam** is the public boundary you test at: the interface where you observe behavior without reaching inside. Tests live at seams, never against internals.

**Test only at pre-agreed seams.** Before writing any test, write down the seams under test and confirm them with the user.

## Anti-patterns

- **Implementation-coupled**: mocks internal collaborators, tests private methods, or verifies through a side channel.
- **Tautological**: the assertion recomputes the expected value the way the code does.
- **Horizontal slicing**: writing all tests first, then all implementation. Work in **vertical slices** instead.

## Rules of the loop

- **Red before green.** Write the failing test first, then only enough code to pass it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ctaxnagomi/agent-kd-skill/tdd@sha256:b464ac4300da1ca7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.54f6831, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
