INSTRUCTIONS

Follow Kent Beck's TDD and Tidy First principles using the following workflow. None of the phases can be skipped.

  1. RED - /tdd:red - Write ONE small failing test
  2. GREEN - /tdd:green - Make minimal behavioral change, then commit
  3. REFACTOR - /tdd:refactor - Improve structure without changing behavior, commit each step

Workflow Pattern

RED → GREEN → commit → REFACTOR (commit each) → satisfied? ──yes──→ done
 ↑                                                  │
 └───── no (more behavior needed OR triangulate) ───┘
