tdd

The 'tdd' skill supports test-driven development (TDD), focusing on the red-green-refactor loop to build and fix software with integration tests. It helps developers by guiding them through a structured process where tests are written first, then code is implemented incrementally to pass those tests. This approach ensures that tests remain behavior-driven, providing a robust and maintainable testing suite. The skill emphasizes a clean, non-coupled testing methodology, allowing for flexibility in code changes without breaking the tests. By using this skill, developers avoid common pitfalls like testing implementation details or writing excessive, unhelpful tests that aren't reflective of actual system behavior. TDD with this skill helps avoid wasting time on irrelevant edge cases by focusing on high-priority behaviors that matter most to users. It encourages developers to test early and often, ensuring that each piece of code has a solid foundation for continued development and improvement.
