atdd-team skillA

atdd-team is agent-read markdown (skill) from swingerman/engineer: Use to orchestrate a team-based ATDD workflow — six phases (spec writing, spec review, pipeline generation, implementation, refine, verify & harden) each handled by a fresh agent so no role erodes across a long-running feature. Triggers — "build a feature with a team", "use ATDD with agents", "create an ATDD team", "orchestrate agents for ATDD", "coordinate agents for feature development", "add ATDD roles to my team", "add spec-writer and reviewer to the team"..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Team-Based ATDD Workflow

Orchestrate an agent team that follows the Acceptance Test Driven Development
workflow. The team lead coordinates specialist agents through six phases. Each
phase is run by a **fresh agent invocation** — no agent persists across phases.

## Why fresh per phase

A long-lived agent's context compacts as a feature runs for hours. Compaction
silently erodes role identity and discipline: agents lose their role, invent
constraints that do not exist, and skip expensive-but-required steps. A fresh
per-phase agent reloads its instructions clean — the same insight as the
engineer plugin's per-skill model. The "team" exists for **parallelism** across
features, not for keeping agents alive within one feature.

## Team Detection

Before spawning phase agents, check for existing teams:

1. Read `~/.claude/teams/` to list active teams.
2. If a team exists, present the user with a choice:
   - **Extend** — run the ATDD phases for this feature alongside the existing team.
   - **Replace** — shut down the existing team and run ATDD fresh.
   - **New team** — run the ATDD pipeline as a separate team.

If no team exists, proceed directly.

## Roles

How to install

Latest version
mdr add swingerman/engineer/atdd-team@git:20260810.1adbf3c
Exact content
mdr add swingerman/engineer/atdd-team@sha256:29dc9a7c9d5de586

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
