Enforces Test-Driven Development (TDD) with RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle, enhanced by Vodou memory, parallel checks, and your project toolchain.

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

# Vodou TDD Workflow - Test-Driven Development with Parallel Intelligence

## Overview

This skill enforces **Test-Driven Development (TDD)** using the proven RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle, enhanced by Vodou's parallel execution and codebase intelligence. Instead of manual sequential testing, Vodou analyzes tests, code, and patterns simultaneously to guide the TDD process.

**The Innovation**: TDD enforcement + parallel test analysis + codebase pattern matching = faster, better TDD.

**Based on**: Superpowers' `test-driven-development` workflow, enhanced with Vodou's parallel execution.

---

## Core TDD Workflow: RED-GREEN-REFACTOR

### The Three Phases

1. **🔴 RED**: Write a failing test first
2. **🟢 GREEN**: Write minimal code to make it pass
3. **🔵 REFACTOR**: Improve code while keeping tests green

**Vodou Enhancement**: Parallel analysis at each phase for faster feedback.

---

## Step 1: RED Phase - Write Failing Test First

### ⏸️ STOPPING POINT - Confirm TDD Approach

Before writing any code, confirm the TDD approach:

**"I'll help you implement [feature] using TDD. This means:**
1. **Write the test first** (it will fail - that's expected)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vodouai/os/tdd-workflow@sha256:3a33f1728e113ebe

The 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.
