Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00052 | $0.00683 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00273 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00137 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00068 |
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 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.
This is a copy
94% identical to tdd — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
TDD Bug Fix
When fixing a bug with a clear, cheap test path, make the broken behavior executable before changing production code. The goal is a focused regression test that fails before the fix and passes after it.
Do not force a test when it would be impractical. If the available test would require broad harness setup, brittle mocks, slow end-to-end infrastructure, production-only state, vague reproduction steps, or large unrelated fixture churn, skip adding a new test and use the closest useful verification instead.
Workflow
- Understand the bug. Identify the intended behavior, current behavior, affected path, and smallest observable reproduction.
- Choose the narrowest executable check. Prefer the closest unit, component, integration, or regression test already used for that codepath. If no practical test path is obvious, do not create one from scratch just to satisfy the workflow.
- Write the failing test first. Add the smallest focused test that would have caught the bug. The test should encode intended behavior, not mirror the current implementation.
- Run the new test before fixing. Confirm it fails for the intended reason. If it passes or fails for an unrelated reason, correct the test or reproduction before editing the implementation.
- Fix the bug. Make the smallest production change that satisfies the intended behavior while preserving nearby contracts.
- Rerun the regression test. Confirm the test now passes.
- Run nearby validation. Run relevant adjacent tests, type checks, lint, or scenario checks when the change has broader risk.
If a Failing Test Is Impractical
Do not silently skip the regression step. Before fixing, explicitly explain why a failing test is impossible or not worth the cost, then choose the closest executable regression check available. Examples include a targeted script, manual reproduction command, browser automation, snapshot comparison, log assertion, or focused integration check.
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.

tdd is a skill published in the GitHub repository painhardcore/pstack (8 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 683 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to tdd, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
autonomous-tdd-debugger
Empowers the agent to autonomously run tests, read terminal stack traces, and self-heal code until tests pass. Transforms the agent from a passive coder to an active CI pipeline debugger.
testing-patterns
Plan, write, and maintain automated tests in any language, with worked examples in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript. Use this skill whenever the user wants to write or plan tests, apply TDD (red-green-refactor), structure unit tests with arrange-act-assert and given-when-then naming, choose between fakes, stubs, and…
test-driven-development
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code - write the test first, watch it fail, write minimal code to pass; ensures tests actually verify behavior by requiring failure first.
tdd-arrange-act-assert
This skill should be used when the user asks to "structure tests", "organize test code", mentions "arrange act assert", "AAA pattern", "given when then", discusses test readability, or wants to improve test structure.
tdd
A guide to test-driven development, or TDD, where you write a failing test, add the code that makes it pass, and then improve the code.
implement
An implementation skill for turning requirements or task lists into code. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing small tests as part of the coding process.
