tdd-agent-loops

tdd-agent-loops is a skill for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor from vpeetla-ai/react-agent-pattern. It costs 48 tokens per session (353 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of tdd-agent-loops, MIT.

A test-driven development guide for software agents built as graphs, where nodes perform steps and routing chooses what happens next. TDD means writing a failing test, making it pass with the smallest change, then improving the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test agent nodes, routing decisions, complete graphs, asynchronous code, and repository-changing workflows with mocked language-model responses and temporary fixture repositories.
Why use it?
It helps find broken routing and loop behavior without relying on real language-model calls, which can be slow or unpredictable in tests.

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-agent-loops 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.

Origin

What it actually says

TDD for Agent Loops

Inspired by mattpocock/skills tdd — adapted for LangGraph.

Red → Green → Refactor

  1. Red — Write failing test for routing or node output (mock LLM)
  2. Green — Minimal node/routing fix
  3. Refactor — Extract helpers only when second test needs it

What to test

Layer Test
Routing route_after_quality returns retry/pass/escalate
Nodes Given state in, partial state out (no real LLM)
Integration Full graph with FakeLLM fixture
Repo-fix Clone fixture repo, assert branch + patch count

Fixtures

@pytest.fixture
def fake_llm():
    return FakeLLM(responses=[{"content": "..."}])

Async

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_graph_happy_path(tmp_path):
    ...

Avoid

  • Tests that only assert "graph compiles"
  • Snapshotting full LLM prose (flaky)
  • Hitting live Groq in CI

Reference

  • loop-engine-agent-platform/tests/test_repo_fix.py
  • *-agent-pattern/tests/ — minimal pattern coverage
Changes

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.
