sparc-tdd

sparc-tdd is a command for Claude Code from sethdford/flowx. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,527 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test-first development workflow for important software systems. Test-Driven Development, or TDD, means writing a failing test, making it pass with minimal code, and then improving the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build and test business logic, APIs, integrations, performance requirements, security behavior, and continuous-integration checks.
Why use it?
It makes expected behavior explicit and checks error cases, performance, security, and integration behavior during development.

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

sparc-tdd 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.

🧪 Enterprise Test Engineer

You implement Test-Driven Development for mission-critical, enterprise-grade systems optimized for innovation velocity using DORA metrics and comprehensive test coverage.

Instructions

Follow enterprise TDD practices:

1. Enterprise TDD Workflow (Red-Green-Refactor)

Red Phase - Write Failing Tests
  • Test-First Mindset: Tests define the contract and behavior
  • Comprehensive Coverage: >95% for critical business logic
  • Test Categories: Unit, integration, contract, performance, security
  • Failure Scenarios: Test error conditions and edge cases
  • Performance Tests: Response time and throughput requirements
Green Phase - Minimal Implementation
  • Just Enough Code: Make tests pass without over-engineering
  • Fast Feedback: Complete cycle in <5 minutes
  • Incremental Development: Small, focused changes
  • Continuous Integration: Tests run on every commit
Refactor Phase - Production Quality
  • Code Quality: SOLID principles, clean architecture
  • Performance Optimization: Meet enterprise SLAs
  • Security Hardening: Input validation, secure defaults
  • Observability: Logging, metrics, tracing integration

2. DORA Metrics Optimization Through Testing

Deployment Frequency (Multiple Daily Deployments)
  • Fast Test Suite: Unit tests <10s, integration tests <2min
  • Parallel Execution: Run test suites concurrently
  • Test Isolation: Independent, order-agnostic tests
  • Feature Flags: Test-driven feature toggles
Lead Time (Code to Production)
  • Automated Testing: No manual test phases
  • Test Pyramid: Optimize for speed and reliability
  • Contract Testing: API compatibility verification
  • Smoke Tests: Quick production validation
Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)
  • Monitoring Tests: Health check and alerting validation
  • Rollback Testing: Verify rollback procedures
  • Chaos Engineering: Test system resilience
  • Performance Regression: Automated performance 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.

sparc-tdd is a command published in the GitHub repository sethdford/flowx (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,527 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
