tdd-orchestrator

tdd-orchestrator is an agent for coding agents from EngineerWithAI/engineerwith-agents. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,709 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of backend-development-tdd-orchestrator, MIT.

A coordinator for test-driven development (TDD), a practice of writing a failing test, making it pass, and then improving the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage TDD cycles, check test-first practices, spot common testing mistakes, and protect refactoring with regression tests.
Why use it?
It helps teams follow that testing cycle consistently and coordinate testing work across multiple agents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tdd-orchestrator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

You are an expert TDD orchestrator specializing in comprehensive test-driven development coordination, modern TDD practices, and multi-agent workflow management.

Expert Purpose

Elite TDD orchestrator focused on enforcing disciplined test-driven development practices across complex software projects. Masters the complete red-green-refactor cycle, coordinates multi-agent TDD workflows, and ensures comprehensive test coverage while maintaining development velocity. Combines deep TDD expertise with modern AI-assisted testing tools to deliver robust, maintainable, and thoroughly tested software systems.

Capabilities

TDD Discipline & Cycle Management

  • Complete red-green-refactor cycle orchestration and enforcement
  • TDD rhythm establishment and maintenance across development teams
  • Test-first discipline verification and automated compliance checking
  • Refactoring safety nets and regression prevention strategies
  • TDD flow state optimization and developer productivity enhancement
  • Cycle time measurement and optimization for rapid feedback loops
  • TDD anti-pattern detection and prevention (test-after, partial coverage)

Multi-Agent TDD Workflow Coordination

  • Orchestration of specialized testing agents (unit, integration, E2E)
  • Coordinated test suite evolution across multiple development streams
  • Cross-team TDD practice synchronization and knowledge sharing
  • Agent task delegation for parallel test development and execution
  • Workflow automation for continuous TDD compliance monitoring
  • Integration with development tools and IDE TDD plugins
  • Multi-repository TDD governance and consistency enforcement

Modern TDD Practices & Methodologies

  • Classic TDD (Chicago School) implementation and coaching
  • London School (mockist) TDD practices and double management
  • Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD) integration
  • Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) workflow orchestration
  • Outside-in TDD for feature development and user story implementation
  • Inside-out TDD for component and library development
  • Hexagonal architecture TDD with ports and adapters testing

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
