Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill facilitates Test-Driven Development (TDD) planning for software projects. It helps break down a feature request into smaller, testable units and generates initial tests before any code is written. The agent can create a plan outlining the steps needed to implement a new feature based on TDD principles, including writing failing tests first.
When to use it
- New Feature Development: When starting work on a new software feature, use this skill to generate an initial development plan and test suite.
- Refactoring Existing Code: Before refactoring existing code, leverage the skill to create tests that verify current functionality.
- Complex Problem Solving: When tackling a complex problem with unclear requirements, use TDD planning to structure your approach and ensure thorough testing.
- Learning TDD: For developers new to Test-Driven Development, this skill can provide guidance and examples of the process.
Key capabilities
- Generates initial test cases based on feature requests.
- Creates a development plan following TDD principles.
- Breaks down features into smaller, testable units.
- Outlines steps for writing failing tests first.
Example prompts
- "Create a TDD plan to implement user authentication."
- "Generate initial tests for the 'calculate shipping cost' feature."
- “Outline a TDD approach for implementing a REST API endpoint.”
Tips & gotchas
The quality of the generated plan and tests depends heavily on the clarity and detail provided in the initial prompt. Be as specific as possible when describing the desired functionality to get the best results.
