- test-driven-developmentaddyosmani/agent-skillsDrives development with tests using the red-green-refactor loop. Use when implementing any logic, fixing any bug, or changing any behavior. Use when you need to prove that code works, when a bug report arrives, or when you're about to modify existing functionality. Use when asked to add tests to a function, fix a bug in it or change its behavior, even when the code is pasted inline and the request does not mention tests.Testing★ 109.1K
