This skill should be used when the user asks to "plan a feature", "prepare for dev loop", "structure TDD approach", "break down this task", "create development plan", or when generating structured prompts for iterative development. Creates dev-loop-ready plans with TDD phases, file tables, code snippets, and framework-specific guidance.
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 Planner Generate high-quality, structured development plans following Test-Driven Development principles for use with the dev-loop command. ## Quality Standard Every plan must meet this checklist before saving: - [ ] Context lists **specific items** to work on (not just "the feature") - [ ] Success criteria are **measurable** (numbers, specific behaviors) - [ ] **Every task** has a file path - [ ] **Code snippets** show implementation structure - [ ] Verification has **expected output** (PASS/FAIL + why) - [ ] Self-correction is **phase-specific**, not generic - [ ] **Files to Modify** table exists - [ ] **New Files to Create** table exists - [ ] Stuck handling is **framework/task-specific** **Reference:** See `references/good-example.md` for expected quality. ## Activation Triggers This skill activates when: - Planning a feature for iterative development - Preparing prompts for dev-loop execution - Breaking down complex tasks into TDD phases - Creating structured development workflows ## Core Principles 1. **Specificity Over Vagueness** - File paths, code snippets, measurable outcomes …

How to install
mdr add smicolon/ai-kit/tdd-planner@sha256:34829d53bb540d82The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260215.92455aa, 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.
