tdd SKILL.md skillA

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

Install it, pinned
mdr add mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/tdd@git:20261006.e26fecf

Pins git:20261006.e26fecf in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when the plan-review verdict is PROCEED (or plan-review is disabled) and code has not yet been written. Writes RED tests first, defining the contract Builder must satisfy. The mandatory hop before any implementation.

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

# tdd

> Sprint 3 composable skill. Wraps the existing TDD-engineer phase with addyosmani-style structure. Mandatory hop before `build`.

## When to invoke

- After `plan-review` returns PROCEED, OR after Scout if plan-review disabled
- Before any new feature implementation
- Before any bug fix (write a regression test first)

## When NOT to invoke

- Eval-only cycles (no implementation needed)
- Pure documentation cycles
- Refactor cycles where existing tests provide coverage (verify first)

## Workflow

| Step | Action | Exit criteria |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Read scout-report.md and plan-review.md | Inputs verified |
| 2 | Write RED tests (must fail on current code) | Tests exist; running them fails |
| 3 | Document the test contract in `<workspace>/tdd-contract.md` | Contract written |
| 4 | Append section to `<workspace>/team-context.md` | Bus updated for Builder |

**Comments:** code written in this phase carries none; names, types and test names say it, and the build floor counts an added comment ([code-comments convention](../../docs/conventions/code-comments.md)).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/tdd@sha256:72454581989049fe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.e26fecf, 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.
