tdd

tdd is a skill for Codex from wangmiaozero/pi-harness. It costs 33 tokens per session (774 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A guide to test-driven development, or TDD: writing a test that fails, making the code pass, and then improving the code. It is intended for feature work or bug fixes done test-first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building features or fixing bugs with the red-green-refactor cycle, and writing integration tests.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a repeatable way to define expected behavior before changing implementation. This helps expose regressions and keeps the code tied to tested requirements.

About the project

Pi-Harness is a desktop workspace for the Pi Coding Agent, a software agent that helps with coding tasks, adding management of sessions, projects, files, Git, models, and skills. It provides tools for observing and controlling runs, recovering work, evaluating results, and coordinating multiple agents across macOS, Windows, and Linux. The catalogue entries are skills and instructions for its agent workflow.

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 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 8d 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 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.
