Cobuilder:tdd Pipeline

This skill should be used when System 3 or Guardian needs to "generate a TDD pipeline", "create a worker pipeline", "instantiate the tdd-validated template", "set up TDD execution pipeline", or when creating DOT pipeline files for test-driven worker execution. Documents the tdd-validated template and worker powers configuration.

TDD Pipeline Template

The tdd-validated template generates DOT pipeline files with explicit RED → GREEN → REFACTOR nodes per worker. Each worker receives superpowers for TDD, debugging, and verification.

Template Location

.cobuilder/templates/tdd-validated/

Instantiation

python3 cobuilder/templates/instantiator.py tdd-validated \
  --param prd_ref=PRD-AUTH-001 \
  --param sd_path=docs/sds/SD-AUTH-001.md \
  --param-file workers.yaml \
  --output .pipelines/pipelines/auth-tdd.dot

Workers YAML Format

workers:
  - label: "User Login"
    worker_type: backend-solutions-engineer
    bead_id: AUTH-LOGIN
    acceptance: "Login endpoint returns JWT token for valid credentials"
    scope: "src/auth/login.py,tests/test_login.py"
    test_command: "pytest tests/test_login.py -v"
  - label: "Login Form"
    worker_type: frontend-dev-expert
    bead_id: AUTH-FORM
    acceptance: "Login form submits credentials and stores JWT"
    scope: "src/components/LoginForm.tsx,tests/LoginForm.test.tsx"
    test_command: "npm test -- --testPathPattern=LoginForm"

Pipeline Structure Per Worker

Each worker gets three codergen nodes in sequence:

RED (write failing tests) → GREEN (minimal implementation) → REFACTOR (clean up)
    → Validation Gate → Decision (pass → next | fail → retry from RED)

Color coding: RED nodes = #ffcccc, GREEN nodes = #ccffcc, REFACTOR nodes = #ccccff

Worker Powers Configuration

All codergen nodes in the TDD template receive worker_powers attribute:

Power Key	Sub-Skills Available	Default
`tdd`	`cobuilder:tdd`, `cobuilder:verification-before-completion`	Yes
`systematic-debugging`	`cobuilder:systematic-debugging`	Yes
`verification`	`cobuilder:verification-before-completion`	Yes
`brainstorming`	`cobuilder:brainstorming`	No
`all`	All cobuilder sub-skills	No

Default: tdd,systematic-debugging,verification

Override per-worker:

workers:
  - label: "Complex UI"
    worker_powers: "all"  # Full power mode for complex tasks

Template Parameters

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
`prd_ref`	Yes	—	PRD identifier
`sd_path`	Yes	—	Path to Solution Design
`workers`	Yes	—	List of worker definitions
`include_research`	No	`false`	Prepend research node
`include_e2e`	No	`true`	Append E2E integration test node
`default_worker_powers`	No	`tdd,systematic-debugging,verification`	Power set for all workers
`llm_profile_test`	No	`anthropic-fast`	LLM for RED phase (test writing)
`llm_profile_impl`	No	`anthropic-smart`	LLM for GREEN phase (implementation)
`llm_profile_refactor`	No	`anthropic-fast`	LLM for REFACTOR phase

Validation

After generating a pipeline, validate it:

python3 cobuilder/engine/cli.py validate .pipelines/pipelines/auth-tdd.dot

Then launch:

python3 cobuilder/engine/pipeline_runner.py --dot-file .pipelines/pipelines/auth-tdd.dot
