tdd

tdd is a skill for Cursor from craigcossairt/trellis. It costs 51 tokens per session (99 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test-driven development workflow, also called red-green-refactor, for writing a failing test, making it pass, and then improving the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for test-first development, following the repository's documented TDD method, and handling requests to write the failing test before the implementation.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to develop behavior from tests and helps keep changes aligned with the expected result.

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 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 8d 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

Router, not a procedure. Cursor does not auto-load Claude Code skills, so this file exists only to point at the canonical one. Read .claude/commands/tdd.md and follow it.

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.

Test-driven development, or TDD, is a way to build software by writing a test that fails, adding the smallest code that makes it pass, and then cleaning up the code. These instructions require that process for features, bug fixes, refactors, and behavior changes.
