tdd-workflow

tdd-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from djscheuf/agentic-dev-ecosystem-template. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,506 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A complete test-driven development workflow for implementing a feature or fixing a bug. It moves through planning, writing a failing test, making it pass, and cleaning up the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the top-level workflow for TDD work. It plans tests, runs the Red and Green phases, refactors passing code, and repeats the cycle while more planned tests remain.
Why use it?
It provides one repeatable process for connecting tests, implementation, and refactoring instead of treating them as separate tasks.

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-workflow 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 3d 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.

TDD Workflow (Composite)

Purpose

Complete Test-Driven Development cycle for implementing a feature or fixing a bug.

Overview

This workflow orchestrates the four TDD phases in a continuous cycle until the feature is complete.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
