tdd-patterns from synaptiai/synapti-marketplace is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Guide test-driven development through the mandatory Red-Green-Refactor cycle: a test is RED only when it fails for the intended reason, its expected value has a stated source (spec, reference implementation, hand computation, fixture, or standard — never the implementation's own output), and its input discriminates the right implementation from the plausible wrong one. Also enforces run-mode test runners and the `testing.tddMode` opt-out. Use when implementing features or fixing bugs…
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 Patterns ## Contract Iron law: if you did not watch the test fail, you do not know it tests the right thing. Invoked by `/flow:start` Phase 3 CODE step 3 (per task, before production code) and by `/flow:address` for behavior-changing fixes; `testing.tddMode` governs enforcement. Returns, per behavior, three tracked tasks: a RED test with a sourced expected value and a non-degenerate input, GREEN code, REFACTOR with all tests passing. Permitted skips: `tddMode=off`; `tddMode=suggest` with `tddModeOptOut=true` plus an explicit user decision; refactors (existing tests suffice); config changes without behavior change. ## Where expected values come from An expected value is derived from the spec, a reference implementation, hand computation, an existing fixture, or an external standard, and the test states which (test comment; evidence-bundle column `Source of expected`). Never run the implementation and paste its output as the expectation. A literal with no stated source is a finding. ## Inputs must discriminate …

How to install
mdr add synaptiai/synapti-marketplace/tdd-patterns@sha256:e75dabdb61b00dd0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.941bdfb, 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.
