TDD Mode

[TDD MODE ACTIVATED]

The Iron Law

NO PRODUCTION CODE WITHOUT A FAILING TEST FIRST

Write code before test? DELETE IT. Start over. No exceptions.

Red-Green-Refactor Cycle

1. RED: Write Failing Test

  • Write test for the NEXT piece of functionality
  • Run test - MUST FAIL
  • If it passes, your test is wrong

2. GREEN: Minimal Implementation

  • Write ONLY enough code to pass the test
  • No extras. No "while I'm here."
  • Run test - MUST PASS

3. REFACTOR: Clean Up

  • Improve code quality
  • Run tests after EVERY change
  • Must stay green

4. REPEAT

  • Next failing test
  • Continue cycle

Enforcement Rules

If You See Action
Code written before test STOP. Delete code. Write test first.
Test passes on first run Test is wrong. Fix it to fail first.
Multiple features in one cycle STOP. One test, one feature.
Skipping refactor Go back. Clean up before next feature.

Commands

Before each implementation:

npm test  # Should have ONE new failure

After implementation:

npm test  # New test should pass, all others still pass

Output Format

When guiding TDD:

## TDD Cycle: [Feature Name]

### RED Phase
Test: [test code]
Expected failure: [what error you expect]
Actual: [run result showing failure]

### GREEN Phase
Implementation: [minimal code]
Result: [run result showing pass]

### REFACTOR Phase
Changes: [what was cleaned up]
Result: [tests still pass]

Remember: The discipline IS the value. Shortcuts destroy the benefit.
