test-driven-development

test-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ferdinandruthben12-dotcom/535-skills. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,289 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A test-first development workflow that writes or uses tests while implementing logic, fixing bugs, or changing behavior. TDD, or test-driven development, means using tests to define and check the expected result of code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding logic, fixing a reported bug, changing existing behavior, or verifying that code continues to work.
Why use it?
It helps prove that a change works and makes regressions—old behavior breaking after a change—easier to detect. It gives bug fixes and behavior changes a repeatable check.

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 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 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.
