TDD Route: strict from another Aegis workflowTypical strict-route shapes once entry is already justified: new features, bug fixes, refactoring, behavior or logic changes, interface/data contract changes, cross-module or shared-module changes, and core logic refactors.
Exceptions (ask your human partner): throwaway prototypes, generated code, config files, pure docs cleanup, read-only diagnosis, comment-only changes.
Before source edits, decide:
Aegis Visibility:
- Why this TDD route is strict, light, or skipped:
- What RED/GREEN proves:
- What still needs verification:
TDD Route:
- Mode: auto | off
- Decision: strict | light | skipped
- Strict authority: explicit user/project request | recorded auto decision | not applicable
- Test posture: diagnostic reproduction | post-change regression | strict RED test
- Reason:
- Verification:
In auto, use strict for behavior, bugfix, contract, shared/core, producer /
consumer, persistence, permission, migration, or meaningful regression risk.
Use light for tiny low-risk edits with an obvious readback or command check.
Use skipped for read-only, docs-only, generated, throwaway, comment-only, or
environment-bound work where TDD does not fit.
In off, do not automatically require TDD, create a strict route, or infer one
from risk alone. Explicit user/project TDD requests still apply; risky work may
still need regression coverage and verification-before-completion before any
completion claim.
For plan or execution review, Mode: off / Decision: skipped is the normal
record unless an explicit user/project strict request overrides it. That record
does not load this skill or turn a diagnostic reproduction into RED. An
approved plan does not supply strict authority by itself.
If this skill was loaded anyway without an explicit TDD request or a visible
TDD Route: strict marker, exit instead of improvising an automatic strict
route from risk words alone.
Keep Aegis Visibility task-specific: explain the route decision and the
regression boundary, not a generic claim that TDD was used.
TDD is the implementation discipline for an approved behavior or atomic task. It is not a substitute for task routing, product clarification, or planning.
Before writing tests or production code, stop and route to brainstorming or writing-plans if the current request has any medium- or high-complexity signal:
For these tasks, require a baseline read-set, plan, and atomic tasks before TDD. High-complexity or ambiguous tasks also need a spec/design review before planning. Only proceed directly with TDD for low-complexity work whose intent, owner, compatibility boundary, verification path, and slice goal / success evidence are already clear.
Before strict RED/GREEN enters production code edits, make the code-change
decision visible. Any new source-code path needs this check before RED/GREEN
normalizes it as work to implement. This is the "should code change at all?"
check; it is not a new artifact and does not belong in the using-aegis hot
path.
This is behavior-triggered, not prompt-triggered. If strict TDD is about to add any new source-code path or enter production source edits, expose a natural readback even when the user did not ask for it. A tiny helper, small guard, new branch, fallback, adapter, or owner is not exempt. Example: "Code necessity check: a non-code path is insufficient because ; the minimum change boundary is <owner/files>, so the decision is code-change."
Change Necessity:
- User-visible need:
- No-change / non-code option:
- Why code change is necessary:
- Minimum change boundary:
- Decision: no-change | docs/config-only | code-change | needs-clarification
If the decision is no-change, do not write tests or production code for a
non-change. If the decision is docs/config-only, route to that narrower
surface and verify it. If the decision is needs-clarification, pause before
RED/GREEN. If the decision is code-change, carry the minimum boundary into
TDD Route, RED, and regression scope.
Before strict TDD on non-trivial work, record the planned complexity budget so RED/GREEN does not silently normalize a wrong or overloaded owner.
Complexity Budget:
- Artifact class:
- Current pressure:
- Projected post-change pressure:
- Planned governance:
Use using-aegis/references/complexity-governance.md for shared artifact
classes, pressure signals, and the meaning of planned governance.
Before production code edits, check whether the intended source edit would add logic to an overloaded or wrong owner. Tiny edits can keep this to one line.
Use using-aegis/references/complexity-governance.md for shared pressure
signals and the meaning of over-budget.
Pre-Edit Complexity Check:
- Target edit file:
- Existing pressure signal:
- Owner fit:
- Safer edit boundary:
- Decision: edit-in-place | extract helper | add owner file | split task | pause for plan update
Pre-Edit Owner-Fit Decision:
- Edit intent: wiring-only | move-out / extract-first | local-fix-without-new-responsibility | new-responsibility | emergency / compatibility patch
- Owner fit:
- Safer edit boundary:
- Decision: edit-in-place | extract helper | add owner file | split task | pause for plan update
If the decision is pause for plan update, stop TDD and return to
writing-plans or brainstorming with the evidence.
If the predicted result is that this slice would push a maintained artifact over budget and the slice does not also govern that overrun, do not continue with RED/GREEN as if the task were safely scoped. Pause and update the plan.
When the target edit file is over-budget or mixed-purpose, classify edit intent
before production source edits. new-responsibility must not be added in place
by default. wiring-only, move-out / extract-first, and
local-fix-without-new-responsibility may proceed only when they do not add a
new responsibility and the verification boundary is clear. emergency / compatibility patch requires residual risk and a retirement trigger.
When a medium- or high-complexity task needs project records, use configured Aegis workspace support
lazily. Prefer the installed Aegis workspace helper
(python <aegis-workspace-helper> init --root <target-project-root>) when it
is available. If the task needs a process trail under work/, prefer
python <aegis-workspace-helper> new-work --root <target-project-root> ...
so the intent, checkpoint, drift, and evidence paths are indexed and
structurally checkable:

Do not promote reusable project facts, decisions, specs, or plans into those directories unless the workflow needs them and no existing project authority already owns them.
State: input | output | boundary | acceptance criteria. Check existing test coverage first. Write one minimal test showing what should happen. A minimal test anchors the next behavior slice; it does not by itself define whole-task completeness unless the parent acceptance is already fully pinned.
```typescript test('retries failed operations 3 times', async () => { let attempts = 0; const operation = () => { attempts++; if (attempts < 3) throw new Error('fail'); return 'success'; };const result = await retryOperation(operation);
expect(result).toBe('success'); expect(attempts).toBe(3); });

# Test-Driven Development (TDD)
## Overview
Under `TDD Route: strict`, write the test first. Watch it fail. Write minimal
code to pass.
If you didn't watch the test fail, you don't know if it tests the right thing.
TDD Mode has two values: `off` and `auto`. The default `off` mode disables
automatic TDD routing but never disables `verification-before-completion`.
`auto` lets Aegis choose a `TDD Route` by task risk.
On native-direct-skill hosts, automatic entry must stay anchored to literal
conversation markers such as `TDD Route: strict`, `strict TDD`, `test-first`,
or `RED / GREEN / REFACTOR`, not generic risky-implementation wording.
## When to Use
Only enter this skill after one of these explicit entry signals exists:
- the user explicitly asks for strict TDD, test-first development, or RED / GREEN / REFACTOR
- the current conversation already contains `TDD Route: strict` from another Aegis workflow
Typical strict-route shapes once entry is already justified: new features, bug
fixes, refactoring, behavior or logic changes, interface/data contract changes,
cross-module or shared-module changes, and core logic refactors.
Exceptions (ask your human partner): throwaway prototypes, generated code, config files, pure docs cleanup, read-only diagnosis, comment-only changes.
## TDD Mode and Route
Before source edits, decide:
```text
Aegis Visibility:
- Why this TDD route is strict, light, or skipped:
- What RED/GREEN proves:
- What still needs verification:
TDD Route:
- Mode: auto | off
- Decision: strict | light | skipped
- Strict authority: explicit user/project request | recorded auto decision | not applicable
- Test posture: diagnostic reproduction | post-change regression | strict RED test
- Reason:
- Verification:
```
In `auto`, use `strict` for behavior, bugfix, contract, shared/core, producer /
consumer, persistence, permission, migration, or meaningful regression risk.
Use `light` for tiny low-risk edits with an obvious readback or command check.
Use `skipped` for read-only, docs-only, generated, throwaway, comment-only, or
environment-bound work where TDD does not fit.
In `off`, do not automatically require TDD, create a strict route, or infer one
from risk alone. Explicit user/project TDD requests still apply; risky work may
still need regression coverage and `verification-before-completion` before any
completion claim.
For plan or execution review, `Mode: off / Decision: skipped` is the normal
record unless an explicit user/project strict request overrides it. That record
does not load this skill or turn a diagnostic reproduction into RED. An
approved plan does not supply strict authority by itself.
If this skill was loaded anyway without an explicit TDD request or a visible
`TDD Route: strict` marker, exit instead of improvising an automatic strict
route from risk words alone.
Keep `Aegis Visibility` task-specific: explain the route decision and the
regression boundary, not a generic claim that TDD was used.
## Preflight Gate
TDD is the implementation discipline for an approved behavior or atomic task.
It is not a substitute for task routing, product clarification, or planning.
Before writing tests or production code, stop and route to brainstorming or
writing-plans if the current request has any medium- or high-complexity signal:
- multiple files, modules, pages, screens, services, or owners
- user-visible flows such as navigation, onboarding, checkout, lifecycle, or
recovery paths
- state transitions, routing rules, API or data contracts, compatibility
boundaries, migrations, permissions, or persistence
- more than one acceptance path or manual/visual verification requirement
- unclear product behavior, competing constraints, or long-running execution
For these tasks, require a baseline read-set, plan, and atomic tasks before TDD.
High-complexity or ambiguous tasks also need a spec/design review before
planning. Only proceed directly with TDD for low-complexity work whose intent,
owner, compatibility boundary, verification path, and slice goal / success
evidence are already clear.
## Change Necessity
Before strict RED/GREEN enters production code edits, make the code-change
decision visible. Any new source-code path needs this check before RED/GREEN
normalizes it as work to implement. This is the "should code change at all?"
check; it is not a new artifact and does not belong in the `using-aegis` hot
path.
This is behavior-triggered, not prompt-triggered. If strict TDD is about to add
any new source-code path or enter production source edits, expose a natural
readback even when the user did not ask for it. A tiny helper, small guard, new
branch, fallback, adapter, or owner is not exempt. Example: "Code necessity
check: a non-code path is insufficient because <reason>; the minimum change
boundary is <owner/files>, so the decision is code-change."
```text
Change Necessity:
- User-visible need:
- No-change / non-code option:
- Why code change is necessary:
- Minimum change boundary:
- Decision: no-change | docs/config-only | code-change | needs-clarification
```
If the decision is `no-change`, do not write tests or production code for a
non-change. If the decision is `docs/config-only`, route to that narrower
surface and verify it. If the decision is `needs-clarification`, pause before
RED/GREEN. If the decision is `code-change`, carry the minimum boundary into
`TDD Route`, RED, and regression scope.
## Complexity Budget
Before strict TDD on non-trivial work, record the planned complexity budget so
RED/GREEN does not silently normalize a wrong or overloaded owner.
```text
Complexity Budget:
- Artifact class:
- Current pressure:
- Projected post-change pressure:
- Planned governance:
```
Use `using-aegis/references/complexity-governance.md` for shared artifact
classes, pressure signals, and the meaning of planned governance.
## Pre-Edit Complexity Check
Before production code edits, check whether the intended source edit would add
logic to an overloaded or wrong owner. Tiny edits can keep this to one line.
Use `using-aegis/references/complexity-governance.md` for shared pressure
signals and the meaning of `over-budget`.
```text
Pre-Edit Complexity Check:
- Target edit file:
- Existing pressure signal:
- Owner fit:
- Safer edit boundary:
- Decision: edit-in-place | extract helper | add owner file | split task | pause for plan update
Pre-Edit Owner-Fit Decision:
- Edit intent: wiring-only | move-out / extract-first | local-fix-without-new-responsibility | new-responsibility | emergency / compatibility patch
- Owner fit:
- Safer edit boundary:
- Decision: edit-in-place | extract helper | add owner file | split task | pause for plan update
```
If the decision is `pause for plan update`, stop TDD and return to
`writing-plans` or `brainstorming` with the evidence.
If the predicted result is that this slice would push a maintained artifact
over budget and the slice does not also govern that overrun, do not continue
with RED/GREEN as if the task were safely scoped. Pause and update the plan.
When the target edit file is over-budget or mixed-purpose, classify edit intent
before production source edits. `new-responsibility` must not be added in place
by default. `wiring-only`, `move-out / extract-first`, and
`local-fix-without-new-responsibility` may proceed only when they do not add a
new responsibility and the verification boundary is clear. `emergency /
compatibility patch` requires residual risk and a retirement trigger.
When a medium- or high-complexity task needs project records, use configured Aegis workspace support
lazily. Prefer the installed Aegis workspace helper
(`python <aegis-workspace-helper> init --root <target-project-root>`) when it
is available. If the task needs a process trail under `work/`, prefer
`python <aegis-workspace-helper> new-work --root <target-project-root> ...`
so the intent, checkpoint, drift, and evidence paths are indexed and
structurally checkable:
```text

```
Do not promote reusable project facts, decisions, specs, or plans into those
directories unless the workflow needs them and no existing project authority
already owns them.
## Red-Green-Refactor
### RED - Write Failing Test
State: input | output | boundary | acceptance criteria. Check existing test coverage first. Write one minimal test showing what should happen.
A minimal test anchors the next behavior slice; it does not by itself define
whole-task completeness unless the parent acceptance is already fully pinned.
<Good>
```typescript
test('retries failed operations 3 times', async () => {
let attempts = 0;
const operation = () => {
attempts++;
if (attempts < 3) throw new Error('fail');
return 'success';
};
const result = await retryOperation(operation);
expect(result).toBe('success');
expect(attempts).toBe(3);
});
```
Clear name, tests real behavior, one thing
</Good>
<Bad>
```typescript
test('retry works', async () => {
const mock = jest.fn()
.mockRejectedValueOnce(new Error())
.mockRejectedValueOnce(new Error())
.mockResolvedValueOnce('success');
await retryOperation(mock);
expect(mock).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(3);
});
```
Vague name, tests mock not code
</Bad>
**Requirements:**
- One behavior
- Clear name
- Real code (no mocks unless unavoidable)
- If a new feature changes user-observable behavior, prefer one minimal
end-to-end or integration test for the main path before narrower unit tests
- For user-visible work, cover the main journey and the highest-risk experience
or operational floor before treating unit tests as sufficient
- Add unit tests for core rules, boundary conditions, and error branches
### Verify RED - Watch It Fail
**MANDATORY. Never skip.**
```bash
npm test path/to/test.test.ts
```
Confirm:
- Test fails (not errors)
- Failure message is expected
- Fails because feature missing (not typos)
**Test passes?** You're testing existing behavior. Fix test.
**Test errors?** Fix erSkill source recorded
