When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Adding new behavior
• Fixing a bug
• Refactoring logic with branch complexity

---

TDD Loop

1. Write a failing test for the target behavior.
2. Implement the smallest code to pass.
3. Refactor while keeping tests green.
4. Add edge/error-path tests before closing.

---

Coverage Rules

• Cover happy path + error paths + edge cases.
• Prefer deterministic tests over flaky integration paths.
• Add seams only when branches are impossible to trigger naturally.
• Keep runtime behavior unchanged when adding seams.

---

Validation Commands

Run:

go test ./...
go test -cover ./...
