Overview

Agent Arena Skill supports coding practices with best practices and proven patterns.

Workflow

# Example: TDD workflow
def test_user_creation():
    user = create_user(name="Alice", email="alice@example.com")
    assert user.name == "Alice"
    assert user.email == "alice@example.com"
    assert user.created_at is not None

def test_user_creation_invalid_email():
    with pytest.raises(ValidationError):
        create_user(name="Alice", email="invalid")

1. Understand requirements — Clarify acceptance criteria and constraints
2. Design solution — Plan architecture and identify patterns
3. Implement — Write code following project conventions
4. Test — Unit tests, integration tests, edge cases
5. Review — Code review for quality, security, and performance
6. Document — Update relevant docs and changelogs

Quality Gates

• All tests passing
• No lint errors or warnings
• Code coverage meets threshold (≥70%)
• No security vulnerabilities detected
• Documentation updated

Best Practices

• Follow SOLID principles and KISS
• Write self-documenting code with clear naming
• Handle errors explicitly — no silent failures
• Keep functions small and focused (<50 lines)
• Use immutable data patterns where possible
