What it does

Bmad Tea Testarch Atdd is an agent skill from chenjackle45/SayIt. Generate failing acceptance tests using TDD cycle. Use when the user says "lets write acceptance tests" or "I want to do ATDD"

Its SKILL.md is about 230 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 End-to-end testing and Test-driven development. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says lets write acceptance tests
  • I want to do ATDD

Example prompts

  • “lets write acceptance tests”
  • “I want to do ATDD”
  • “/bmad-tea-testarch-atdd”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Always LOAD the FULL {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
  2. READ its entire contents - this is the CORE OS for EXECUTING the specific workflow-config…
  3. Pass the yaml path _bmad/tea/workflows/testarch/atdd/workflow.yaml as 'workflow-config' parameter to the workflow.xml instructions
  4. Follow workflow.xml instructions EXACTLY as written to process and follow the specific workflow config and its instructions
  5. Save outputs after EACH section when generating any documents from templates

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bb32b61. 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

Bmad Tea Testarch Atdd loads about 225 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 89 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~225

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.
