tdd-patterns

tdd-patterns is a cursor rule for Cursor from SecondLifes/delphi-expert. It costs 285 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Rigorous Test-Driven Development (TDD) with DUnitX, naming and dependency injection for isolation with fakes and mocks.

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-patterns 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 today.

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.

What it actually says

Delphi TDD and Unit Tests (DUnitX)

  • Test-First (Red-Green-Refactor): When implementing new rules under "TDD" order, you MUST first structure the Test Case and its failed assertions (Assert), before designing the concrete business logic algorithms.
  • Expressive Standard Nomenclature: Test method prefixes must follow the Metodo_Cenario_Expectativa semantic scope. Example: [Test] procedure CalculateTax_EmptyOrder_ThrowsException;.
  • Default Framework: Use DUnitX. Always decorate test classes with [TestFixture], methods with [Test] and setups with [Setup] / [TearDown].
  • Total Isolation (Fakes/Mocks): NEVER write a unit test that involves direct coupling with the TFDConnection Database, external APIs, Network or VCL/Forms. Everything external to the tested Service or Entity must be simulated in the test file in a FAKE isolated subclass implementing the Dependency Interface (IMyRepository).
  • Exception Validation: To prove domain Guard Clauses, instantiate anonymous methods using Assert.WillRaise() by injecting the expected type of Exception.

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.

tdd-patterns is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository SecondLifes/delphi-expert (3 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 285 tokens to every session, about $0.0014 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 2026-09-03.
