TDD implementation with AI code-review loop for a single ticket.

What it does

Implement With TDD is an agent skill from pony-maggie/code_minions. TDD implementation with AI code-review loop for a single ticket.

Its SKILL.md is about 360 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/run.py`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test-driven development and Code review.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Test-driven development
  • Tasks that involve Code review

Example prompts

  • “/implement-with-tdd”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac75593. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Implement With TDD loads about 362 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 111 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~362

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 111 words (~362 tokens).

“Implement a single ticket using a TDD cycle and iterate with AI code review until converged or max-rounds reached.”
