77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured TDD skill that efficiently communicates a clear methodology with good workflow sequencing and anti-pattern guidance. Its main weakness is the lack of concrete, executable code examples showing an actual red-green-refactor cycle, and the referenced supporting files (tests.md, mocking.md, etc.) are not provided in the bundle, making the progressive disclosure promises hollow.
Suggestions
Add a brief, concrete code example showing one complete RED→GREEN→REFACTOR cycle (e.g., a simple function with a test in Python or JavaScript) to improve actionability.
Provide the referenced bundle files (tests.md, mocking.md, deep-modules.md, interface-design.md, refactoring.md) or remove the references if they don't exist.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every section earns its place. The content avoids explaining what TDD is at a basic level and instead focuses on the specific methodology and anti-patterns Claude should follow. The ASCII diagram for horizontal vs vertical slices is efficient and informative. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | The workflow steps and checklists are clear and specific, but there are no executable code examples showing actual test code (e.g., a concrete test in a language, a real red-green-refactor cycle). The guidance is concrete in process terms but lacks copy-paste-ready code artifacts. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The workflow is clearly sequenced (Planning → Tracer bullet → Incremental loop → Refactor) with explicit validation checkpoints (per-cycle checklist, 're-run tests after each step', 'never refactor while RED'). The feedback loop of RED→GREEN→REFACTOR is well-defined with clear rules at each stage. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References to supporting files (tests.md, mocking.md, deep-modules.md, interface-design.md, refactoring.md) are well-signaled and one level deep, which is good. However, no bundle files were provided, so these references are unverifiable and potentially broken. The main content is well-structured but the referenced files don't exist. | 2 / 3 |
