Plan, implement, or review test driven development work in an existing codebase with compatibility, security, and verification controls. Use when the user explicitly requests test driven development work.

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

Use this Skill to produce a bounded, verifiable Test Driven Development outcome. Preserve the user's chosen stack, source material, and authorization boundaries.

Read [the SandBase API map](references/sandbase-api-map.md) only when the task genuinely needs an external data source or generative model.

## Workflow

1. Inspect the available files, runtime, versions, inputs, and existing conventions before deciding what to change.
2. Restate the requested outcome, constraints, acceptance checks, and any assumption that could change the result.
3. Produce the smallest complete implementation, analysis, or artifact that satisfies those checks.
4. Verify the real output with appropriate tests, previews, calculations, or source comparison; do not infer success from file creation alone.
5. Return the deliverable, evidence of validation, material assumptions, and unresolved limitations.

## Quality gates

- Inspect repository instructions, current versions, tests, and user changes before proposing an implementation.
- Make the smallest compatible change, preserve public contracts unless change is requested, and avoid new dependencies without a concrete benefit.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sandbaseai/sandbase-skills/test-driven-development@sha256:f1d73222475c8ad9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.a887321, 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.
