Test it

Using "test-driven-development". User asks Codex to add retry behavior.

Expected outcome:

A red-phase test objective for three attempts and success.
A required test-run check that the test fails for the expected reason.
A minimal green-phase implementation direction.

Using "test-driven-development". User reports that empty email submissions are accepted.

Expected outcome:

A regression test plan that first reproduces the bug, followed by the smallest validation fix.

Using "test-driven-development". User wants to clean up duplicated validation logic.

Expected outcome:

A reminder to refactor only after tests pass.
A checklist that all behavior remains green after cleanup.

Security Audit

Safe

v9 • 7/9/2026 Open versioned report

Static findings are false positives caused by Markdown fences, inline examples, and safe local npm test commands in SKILL.md. The network-reconnaissance hits are checklist wording about tests passing, and manual review of SKILL.zip found only the reviewed SKILL.md copy.

Spec Compliance

What You Can Build

Feature Implementation

Write a failing behavior test before building a new feature.

Bug Fix Regression

Reproduce a reported bug with a failing test before changing code.

Refactor Safety

Keep behavior stable by verifying tests stay green while cleaning code.

Try These Prompts

Start A TDD Change

Use this skill for the next change. Identify the first behavior to test, write the red-phase test plan, and wait for failure evidence before implementation.

Repair A Bug With Red First

A bug occurs in [brief behavior]. First define the failing regression test and expected failure, then propose the smallest fix after red is proven.

Refactor While Staying Green

Before refactoring this area, list the existing behavior tests to run, identify the next safe cleanup, and keep behavior unchanged.

Audit A Change For TDD Compliance

Review this completed change for TDD discipline. Check whether each behavior had a failing test first, whether failures were expected, and whether implementation stayed minimal.

Best Practices

Run the targeted test after writing it and confirm the failure is meaningful.
Keep each test focused on one observable behavior.
Refactor only after the test suite is green.

Avoid

Writing implementation code before the failing test exists.
Keeping untested code as a reference while writing tests.
Changing the test to match broken implementation behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skill write tests for me?

It guides the agent to design tests first, then implement minimal code after the red phase.

Can I use it with Codex?

Yes. The report marks support for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.

Does it run test commands automatically?

No. It gives workflow instructions and examples; execution depends on the connected agent and project tools.

What projects fit this skill?

It fits feature work, bug fixes, refactoring, and behavior changes in codebases with automated tests.

When should I skip it?

Skip only for approved exceptions, such as throwaway prototypes, generated code, or configuration-only changes.

Does it require npm?

No. The npm examples are illustrative; adapt commands to your project test runner.
