What it does

Test Driven Development is an agent skill from 6BNBN/FlowPilot. Use when implementing a feature, fixing a bug, or changing behavior in Cursor and you want a disciplined red-green-refactor workflow.

Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `testing-anti-patterns.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test-driven development. The repository describes itself as: 一句需求，自动拆任务、并行多代理写码、断点恢复、验证收尾。FlowPilot 让 Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / snow-cli 进入真正的自动开发流程。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Implementing a feature
  • Changing behavior in Cursor and you want a disciplined red-green-refactor workflow

Example prompts

  • “/test-driven-development”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Write one failing test for one behavior.
  2. Run it and confirm it fails for the right reason.
  3. Implement the minimal code needed to pass.
  4. Re-run the test and nearby checks.
  5. Refactor while keeping everything green.
  6. Repeat for the next behavior.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 57b1d49. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Test Driven Development loads about 276 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 136 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~276

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Test-Driven Development

Goal

Write the failing test first, then the smallest implementation that makes it pass.

Workflow

  1. Write one failing test for one behavior.
  2. Run it and confirm it fails for the right reason.
  3. Implement the minimal code needed to pass.
  4. Re-run the test and nearby checks.
  5. Refactor while keeping everything green.
  6. Repeat for the next behavior.

Rules

  • No production code before a failing test unless the user explicitly asks to skip TDD.
  • Keep tests focused on behavior, not incidental implementation details.
  • Prefer real code paths over heavy mocking.
  • If the test passes immediately, you are probably testing existing behavior or the wrong thing.
  • Use verification-before-completion before claiming the bug or feature is finished.

Good Test Qualities

  • one behavior
  • clear name
  • obvious expected outcome
  • minimal setup
  • catches the intended regression
