tdd-execution

tdd-execution is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tommymorgan/claude-plugins. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,911 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for implementing planned features with test-driven development, or TDD: write a failing test, make it pass, then improve the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute plan tasks autonomously, add tests before implementation, run review checks, update progress, and investigate blocked work.
Why use it?
It defines completion through tests, keeps tasks small, and uses evidence-based debugging when something fails.

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-execution 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.

TDD Execution

Workflow for executing plan tasks autonomously using Test-Driven Development, with code review gates and root cause analysis for failures.

Core Principles

Test-First: Write the failing test before any implementation. The test defines what "done" looks like.

Atomic Tasks: Each task = one test file = one commit. Keep changes small and reviewable.

Evidence-Based: Never guess at failures. Use root-cause-analysis before declaring anything blocked.

Continuous Progress: Update the plan file after each task. Progress survives session interruption.

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-execution is a skill published in the GitHub repository tommymorgan/claude-plugins (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,911 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
