tdd-workflow

tdd-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ronmkr/PromptBook. It costs 43 tokens per session (3,076 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of tdd-workflow, Apache-2.0.

A test-driven development workflow for features, bug fixes, and refactoring that includes unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. End-to-end tests check complete user flows, often through a browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing application code, APIs, databases, components, or browser-based user journeys.
Why use it?
It makes testing happen before implementation and sets explicit expectations for coverage, edge cases, errors, and checkpoints.

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

tdd-workflow 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.

Test-Driven Development Workflow

This skill ensures all code development follows TDD principles with comprehensive test coverage.

When to Activate

  • Writing new features or functionality
  • Fixing bugs or issues
  • Refactoring existing code
  • Adding API endpoints
  • Creating new components

Core Principles

1. Tests BEFORE Code

ALWAYS write tests first, then implement code to make tests pass.

2. Coverage Requirements

  • Minimum 80% coverage (unit + integration + E2E)
  • All edge cases covered
  • Error scenarios tested
  • Boundary conditions verified

3. Test Types

Unit Tests
  • Individual functions and utilities
  • Component logic
  • Pure functions
  • Helpers and utilities
Integration Tests
  • API endpoints
  • Database operations
  • Service interactions
  • External API calls
E2E Tests (Playwright)
  • Critical user flows
  • Complete workflows
  • Browser automation
  • UI interactions

4. Git Checkpoints

  • If the repository is under Git, create a checkpoint commit after each TDD stage
  • Do not squash or rewrite these checkpoint commits until the workflow is complete
  • Each checkpoint commit message must describe the stage and the exact evidence captured
  • Count only commits created on the current active branch for the current task
  • Do not treat commits from other branches, earlier unrelated work, or distant branch history as valid checkpoint evidence
  • Before treating a checkpoint as satisfied, verify that the commit is reachable from the current HEAD on the active branch and belongs to the current task sequence
  • The preferred compact workflow is:
    • one commit for failing test added and RED validated
    • one commit for minimal fix applied and GREEN validated
    • one optional commit for refactor complete
  • Separate evidence-only commits are not required if the test commit clearly corresponds to RED and the fix commit clearly corresponds to GREEN

TDD Workflow Steps

Step 1: Write User Journeys

As a [role], I want to [action], so that [benefit]

Example:
As a user, I want to search for markets semantically,
so that I can find relevant markets even without exact keywords.

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.
