tdd-loop SKILL.md skillA
tdd-loop from ramboz/jig is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add ramboz/jig/tdd-loop@git:20260831.807c40ePins git:20260831.807c40e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Drive the red-green-refactor loop for any non-trivial code change. Auto-detect the project's test runner (pytest / vitest / jest / node --test), invoke it via the `tdd.py` helper, and act on the normalized exit code. Use when you write a test, TDD this feature, let me test-drive a behaviour, are about to implement [feature], want to run my tests, ask is my coverage complete, or ask are tests green. Do not use for one-off exploratory scripts, throwaway spikes, or pure-documentation edits that…
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
> Spec 006 promoted this skill from a dangling auto-install reference to an > active skill. The deterministic runner detection + subprocess invocation > live in `tdd.py`; this SKILL.md drives the judgment layer. ## What this skill does Codifies the red-green-refactor loop that the `implementer` subagent (`agents/implementer.md`) already encodes as "non-negotiable TDD discipline." The skill: - Detects the project's test runner from filesystem signals (one of `pytest`, `vitest`, `jest`, or Node's built-in `node --test`). - Invokes the runner as a subprocess against a target, a focused `--test-path`, or a single `--test` selector. - Streams the runner's stdout/stderr through to the caller — you see real output, not a swallowed summary. - Normalizes the runner's native exit code so callers can branch deterministically: - `0` — all green - `1` — at least one red test (runner started but reported failure) - `2` — could not detect a runner, OR the runner binary is missing ## The red-green-refactor loop 1. **Red.** Write a failing test for one acceptance criterion (or one well-bounded behaviour). Run `tdd.py run <target>` and confirm the new …

How to install
mdr add ramboz/jig/tdd-loop@sha256:6e69c3e24b8e2878The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260831.807c40e, 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.
