test-driven-development

test-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from peterblazejewicz/claude-plugins. It costs 103 tokens per session (6,792 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test-driven development guide for .NET and C#, where you write a test before the code and use the test result to guide the change. It covers unit, integration, and end-to-end tests with xUnit or MSTest.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing .NET behavior, fixing bugs, or handling edge cases. It also guides test choices for web applications and user interfaces, including the test runner already used by the project.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of changes that only seem correct by requiring a failing test for new behavior or bugs before the implementation.

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 4d 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.

Test-Driven Development

Overview

Write a failing test before writing the code that makes it pass. For bug fixes, reproduce the bug with a test before attempting a fix. Tests are proof — "seems right" is not done. A codebase with good tests is an AI agent's superpower; a codebase without tests is a liability.

When to Use

  • Implementing any new logic or behavior
  • Fixing any bug (the Prove-It Pattern)
  • Modifying existing functionality
  • Adding edge case handling
  • Any change that could break existing behavior

When NOT to use: Pure configuration changes, documentation updates, or static content changes that have no behavioral impact.

Related: For HTTP and UI integration, combine TDD with integration-testing-dotnet — that skill covers WebApplicationFactory<T>, Testcontainers, Microsoft.Playwright, and Avalonia.Headless for Blazor / ASP.NET Core / Avalonia tests respectively.

Version Awareness: xUnit v2 vs v3, and Microsoft.Testing.Platform

The guidance below works with both current xUnit major versions and both current runners. Detect which one the project uses (the .csproj package references are the tell) and apply the matching packaging.

Aspect xUnit v2 (mature) xUnit v3 (current)
Core package xunit xunit.v3
IDE / VSTest runner xunit.runner.visualstudio xunit.v3.runner.visualstudio
Output of dotnet build on the test project DLL loaded by the runner Executable (can be run directly: ./MyApp.Tests.exe)
Native runner VSTest (dotnet test) Microsoft.Testing.Platform (MTP) — faster startup, self-contained; still invokable via dotnet test
Minimum target framework netcoreapp3.1+ / net472 net8.0 or later
Source-level API compatibility [Fact], [Theory], [InlineData], Assert.*, IClassFixture<T>, ICollectionFixture<T>, [Collection]all identical between v2 and v3 for normal test code same

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.
