test-gen

name	test-gen
description	Generates failing tests before implementation using test-driven development (TDD) with Vitest in TypeScript/Next.js projects. Writes unit test stubs covering happy path, edge cases, and error conditions, then confirms they fail. Use when writing tests first, starting TDD, doing red-green-refactor, verifying test coverage after refactoring, or when the implement workflow reaches the test step.

Generate tests for a TypeScript/Next.js project using Vitest following TDD (red-green-refactor).

Workflow: Before implementation (red phase)

1. Read the requirement or issue description
2. Find existing test patterns — glob **/*.test.ts **/*.spec.ts — and match their style
3. Write failing tests covering happy path, edge cases, and error conditions
4. Run npm run test:run -- --testPathPattern=<file> — confirm all new tests fail
5. Report which tests fail and what behavior they expect

Workflow: After refactoring (verify green)

1. Run npm run test:run -- --testPathPattern=<file> — confirm existing tests still pass
2. Add tests for any new code paths introduced during refactoring
3. Report results

Example test structure

import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest'
import { calculateDiscount } from '../utils/pricing'

describe('calculateDiscount', () => {
  it('should apply percentage discount to subtotal', () => {
    expect(calculateDiscount(100, 0.2)).toBe(80)
  })

  it('should return original price when discount is zero', () => {
    expect(calculateDiscount(100, 0)).toBe(100)
  })

  it('should throw when discount exceeds 100%', () => {
    expect(() => calculateDiscount(100, 1.5)).toThrow()
  })
})

Rules

• Descriptive names: should [expected behavior] when [condition]
• Mock external dependencies (APIs, DB), not internal logic
• One assertion per concept — keep tests focused
• Always run with --testPathPattern=<file>, never the full suite
• Model escalation: default Haiku. Escalate to Sonnet for complex domain logic (multi-step auth, transaction rollbacks, distributed state)
