Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/blockmatic/basilic-skills --skill w-tdd- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads w-tdd automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Use TDD only when the user asked for it or the repository requires it. Follow the repo testing MDX and vitest-v5 (or the stack's test skill). Do not commit unless asked.
- Red: write a failing test for the desired behavior. Use real APIs where the repo tests do; mock only at documented boundaries.
- Green: write the smallest implementation that passes that test.
- Refactor: improve structure while tests stay green.
- Repeat for the next increment. Run the focused test file each cycle, then the affected suite.
- Docs:
/w-docsif behavior or commands changed.
