tdd-workflows-tdd-green
Implement the minimal code needed to make failing tests pass in the TDD green phase.
Best use case
tdd-workflows-tdd-green is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Implement the minimal code needed to make failing tests pass in the TDD green phase.
Teams using tdd-workflows-tdd-green should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Green Phase: Simple function
def product_list(request):
products = Product.objects.all()
return JsonResponse({'products': list(products.values())})
# Refactor: Class-based view
class ProductListView(View):
def get(self, request):
products = Product.objects.all()
return JsonResponse({'products': list(products.values())})
# Refactor: Generic view
class ProductListView(ListView):
model = Product
context_object_name = 'products'
```
### Express Patterns
**Inline → Middleware → Service Layer:**
```javascript
// Green Phase: Inline logic
app.post('/api/users', (req, res) => {
const user = { id: Date.now(), ...req.body };
users.push(user);
res.json(user);
});
// Refactor: Extract middleware
app.post('/api/users', validateUser, (req, res) => {
const user = userService.create(req.body);
res.json(user);
});
// Refactor: Full layering
app.post('/api/users',
validateUser,
asyncHandler(userController.create)
);
```
## Use this skill when
- Moving from red to green in a TDD cycle
- Implementing minimal behavior to satisfy tests
- You want to keep implementation intentionally simple
## Do not use this skill when
- You are refactoring for design or performance
- Tests are already passing and you need new requirements
- You need a full architectural redesign
## Instructions
1. Review failing tests and identify the smallest fix.
2. Implement the minimal change to pass the next test.
3. Run tests after each change to confirm progress.
4. Record shortcuts or debt for the refactor phase.
## Safety
- Avoid bypassing tests to make them pass.
- Keep changes scoped to the failing behavior only.
## Resources
- `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.Related Skills
