Test Driven Development

Test Driven Development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Raidriar7170/hermes-skilleval. It costs 22 tokens per session (288 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development method called test-driven development, or TDD, where you write a test, confirm it fails, and then add the smallest code needed to pass it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding a feature, fixing a bug, or refactoring code that can be described by a test.
Why use it?
It checks that a test actually detects the missing behavior and helps keep feature changes and bug fixes focused.

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 6d 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 when implementing a feature, bug fix, or refactor that can be described by a test. Start with a focused failing test, confirm the failure reason, implement the minimal code, and rerun the test until it passes.

Evidence

  • Failing test output before the fix.
  • Passing targeted test after implementation.
  • Notes on any skipped broader validation.

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.
