Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo --skill tdd-workflow- 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 tdd-workflow 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.
Follow the TDD London School (mock-first) approach:
- Write the failing test first -- define expected behavior with mocked dependencies
- Run the test -- confirm it fails for the right reason
- Implement minimal code -- make the test pass with the simplest solution
- Refactor -- clean up while keeping tests green
- Repeat -- add the next behavior
Before starting: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_pre-task({ description: "TDD: FEATURE_NAME" })
After completing: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_post-task({ taskId: "tdd-FEATURE", success: true, storeResults: true })
Principles:
- Mock external dependencies at boundaries
- Test behavior, not implementation
- One assertion per test when possible
- Descriptive names:
should [behavior] when [condition]
