test-driven-development

test-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Miosa-osa/OSA. It costs 47 tokens per session (340 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A development method that writes an automated test before the code, then follows a repeated red, green, refactor cycle: make the test fail, make it pass, and improve the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for new features, bug fixes, behavior changes with clear acceptance criteria, and regression tests.
Why use it?
It makes expected behavior explicit and helps catch regressions—old behavior that breaks after a change—especially in risky logic.

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 1mo 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

Use tests to define the behavior before implementing it.

Red

  1. Identify the narrowest externally meaningful behavior.
  2. Find the nearest existing test style and harness.
  3. Write one focused test using the public interface or real user surface.
  4. Run it and confirm it fails for the intended reason.
  5. If it passes immediately, the test does not prove the requested change.

Green

  1. Implement the smallest production change that satisfies the behavior.
  2. Run the focused test.
  3. Run nearby tests that exercise the same module or seam.
  4. Keep unrelated cleanup out of the green step.

Refactor

  1. Remove duplication and clarify names without changing behavior.
  2. Keep the tests green after each meaningful change.
  3. Run formatting, static checks, and the proportionate broader suite.

Test quality

  • Prefer observable outcomes over implementation details.
  • Include meaningful failure messages for complex invariants.
  • Avoid sleeps when a deterministic signal is available.
  • Do not mock the behavior under test.
  • For a bug, preserve the original reproduction as a regression test whenever practical.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository Miosa-osa/OSA (78 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 340 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
