# SPARC Refinement Phase (+1)

## SPARC Refinement Phase


The Refinement phase ensures code quality through:

1. **Test-Driven Development (TDD)** - Write tests first
2. **Code optimization and refactoring** - Improve structure
3. **Performance tuning** - Optimize hot paths
4. **Error handling improvement** - Robust failure recovery
5. **Documentation enhancement** - Keep docs current

## TDD Cycle


| Phase | Action | Goal |
|-------|--------|------|
| Red | Write failing test | Define expected behavior |
| Green | Write minimal code | Make test pass |
| Refactor | Improve code | Clean up while tests pass |
