test-driven-development

test-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ahnafyy/skills-evals. It costs 32 tokens per session (108 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test-driven development workflow, where a failing test is written before the code that fixes or adds behavior. TDD means test-driven development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when fixing bugs, adding features, or refactoring code that does not yet have enough tests.
Why use it?
It demonstrates the bug or missing behavior first and checks that the fix works without breaking the rest of the test suite.

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

test-driven-development 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.

What it actually says

Test-Driven Development

Overview

Always demonstrate the bug or missing behavior with a failing test before touching implementation code.

When to Use

Use when fixing a reported bug, adding a feature, or refactoring untested code.

Verification

The failing test must be shown failing before the fix, and the full suite must pass after.

Changes

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.
