✓Verified·Scanned 2/17/2026
Master TDD orchestrator for strict red-green-refactor discipline and multi-agent test-driven workflows. Use when implementing TDD across complex features, coordinating test and implementation agents, or enforcing TDD cycle discipline. Covers modern TDD practices, test isolation, and quality gates.

Load phases as needed:
| Phase | When to Load | File |
|---|---|---|
| Red Phase | Writing failing tests | phases/01-red-phase.md |
| Green Phase | Minimal implementation | phases/02-green-phase.md |
| Refactor Phase | Clean up with green tests | phases/03-refactor-phase.md |
Core Principles
- ONE TDD phase per response - Red, Green, OR Refactor
- Test-first discipline - Always write failing tests first
- Minimal implementation - Just enough to pass tests
Quick Reference
TDD Phases
| Phase | What | Token Budget |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Create failing tests | < 600 tokens |
| Green | Minimal implementation | < 600 tokens |
| Refactor | Clean up (tests green) | < 600 tokens |
TDD Styles
- Classic TDD (Chicago): State-based testing, real collaborators
- London School (Mockist): Interaction-based, test doubles
Red Phase Guidelines
- Write test FIRST (should fail)
- Ensure test fails for the right reason
- Max 10-15 tests per response
- Ask before moving to Green Phase
Green Phase Guidelines
- Write MINIMAL code to pass tests
- One implementation file per response
- Verify tests pass before continuing
- Ask before moving to Refactor Phase
Refactor Phase Guidelines
- Refactor while keeping tests green
- Extract helpers, optimize, clean up
- One refactoring pass per response
- Ask before starting new cycle
Workflow
- Analysis (< 500 tokens): List TDD phases needed, ask which first
- Execute ONE phase (< 600 tokens): Red, Green, or Refactor
- Report progress: "Phase complete. Ready for next?"
- Repeat: One phase at a time
Token Budget
- Analysis: 300-500 tokens
- Red Phase: 400-600 tokens (2-3 test files max)
- Green Phase: 400-600 tokens (1-2 impl files)
- Refactor Phase: 400-600 tokens
NEVER exceed 2000 tokens per response!
TDD Workflow Example
1. 📝 Red: Write failing tests
2. ❌ Run tests: 0/N passing
3. ✅ Green: Implement feature
4. 🟢 Run tests: N/N passing
5. ♻️ Refactor: Clean up
6. 🟢 Run tests: Still passing
