Guide red-green-refactor TDD with test generation, coverage-gap analysis, and multi- framework support. Use when writing tests first, analyzing coverage, generating test stubs, or converting tests between Jest, Pytest, JUnit, and Vitest.

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 Guide

The agent guides red-green-refactor TDD workflows, generates framework-specific test stubs from requirements, parses coverage reports to identify prioritized gaps, and calculates test quality metrics including smell detection and assertion density. Supports Jest, Pytest, JUnit, Vitest, and Mocha.

## Core Capabilities

- **Red-green-refactor guidance** — phase validation (RED/GREEN/REFACTOR), cycle tracking, refactoring suggestions
- **Test generation** — produce test cases and framework-specific stubs from user stories, acceptance criteria, and API specs
- **Coverage gap analysis** — parse LCOV/JSON/XML reports, identify files below threshold, prioritize P0/P1/P2
- **Test quality metrics** — cyclomatic/cognitive complexity, assertion density, isolation, naming, and test smell detection
- **Multi-framework support** — convert tests and generate fixtures/mocks across Jest, Vitest, Pytest, JUnit, TestNG, Mocha, Jasmine

## When to Use

- Writing a failing test first for a new feature (test-driven development)
- Analyzing coverage reports to find and prioritize gaps
- Generating test stubs from requirements or API specs

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/tdd-guide@sha256:0f3aefebb00392ba

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
