What it does

TDD Workflow is an agent skill from archibate/dotfiles-opencode. Use this skill for developing software in TDD (Test-Driven Design).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test-driven development. The repository describes itself as: Archibate's personal configuration for OpenCode.

When your agent uses it

  • Developing software in TDD (Test-Driven Design)
  • Tasks that involve Test-driven development

Example prompts

  • “/tdd-workflow”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check Existing Progress
  2. Understand Intent
  3. Write Scenario Docs
  4. Write Failing Test (RED)
  5. Implement to Make Tests Pass (GREEN)
  6. Refactor for Maintainability
  7. Regression Test
  8. Final Review

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46b6b23. 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 (its code samples are markdown and bash).

    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

TDD Workflow loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 638 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 638 words (~1,752 tokens).

“A strict 7-step TDD cycle that produces high-quality, well-tested code. Each step must be verified and confirmed before proceeding. Status is only updated after real verification”
