TDD workflow: enforce RED-GREEN-REFACTOR, tests before code.
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 Classic TDD workflow: write a failing test first, make it pass with minimal code, then refactor. Enforces discipline and produces well-tested, clean code. ## When to Use - Starting a new feature or module - Fixing a bug (write a test that fails first) - Refactoring existing code - Any time you want confidence in your code ## Procedure ### RED Phase 1. Write a test for the next small behavior 2. Run the test, confirm it fails 3. Check the error message makes sense ### GREEN Phase 1. Write the simplest code that makes the test pass 2. Run the test, confirm it passes 3. Do not add anything the test does not require ### REFACTOR Phase 1. Improve the code while keeping tests green 2. Remove duplication 3. Clarify naming 4. Run tests again to confirm nothing broke ## Cycle Repeat RED-GREEN-REFACTOR in small increments. Each cycle should take 2-10 minutes. If it takes longer, the step is too big. ## Pitfalls - Writing multiple tests before making any pass - Skipping the refactor phase - Writing tests after the code - Making the Green phase too elaborate ## Verification - All tests pass - Each test covers one specific behavior …

How to install
mdr add ctaxnagomi/agent-kd-skill/test-driven-development@sha256:dbebfa689080625aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
