skills_loader.rs walks skills/**/*.md, parses YAML frontmatter
(name, description, when_to_use, tags), upserts via
skills_catalog::upsert_builtin. Idempotent per boot — bumps version
+ appends skill_versions row ONLY when body changes. Deterministic
sha256-derived ids so builtins are stable across boots.
Dockerfile copies skills/ to /etc/clawmates/skills. Server boot
task spawns loader alongside team_template_loader.
Follow-ups (Slice 3.5c continuation, future PRs):
- 20-30 more skills (duckdb, shadcn composition, a11y, WebGPU
migration, metal frame capture, rocprof, deep gitea forge
integration, semgrep rulepacks)
- Bind skills to team template roles (add [role.skills] refs to
templates/teams/*.toml + wire template_role_skills population
in team_template_loader)

description: Strict test-driven development — write the failing test first, make it pass minimally, then refactor. Prevents overbuilt code and pinpoints regressions.
|
|
when_to_use: Before writing any behavior-adding code. Applies to Rust, TypeScript, Python, anywhere tests can run cheap.

tags: [foundation, testing, tdd]

# TDD: red → green → refactor
|
|
|
|
## The loop
|
|
|
|
1. **RED** — Write the test that fails because the behavior doesn't exist yet. Run it. Confirm it fails for the RIGHT reason (missing symbol, wrong output — not a syntax error).
|
|
2. **GREEN** — Write the simplest possible code that makes the test pass. Not the "correct" version — the SIMPLEST one. Hardcoded return value is legal.
|
|
3. **REFACTOR** — Now that you have a passing safety net, restructure. Extract, rename, tighten types. Every intermediate state must still be green.
|
|
4. **Commit the RED-to-GREEN pair as one commit.** The refactor is its own commit.
|
|
|
|
## Why this order
|
|
|
|
- Writing the test first forces you to design the API from the caller's perspective. The API you wish existed usually beats the API you accidentally get.
|
|
- Watching the test fail proves the test can fail — a test that has never failed is a test you don't trust.
|
|
- Refactoring under a green bar means every step is safe. Refactoring in the dark means every step could silently break behavior.
|
|
|
|
## What counts as "a test"
|
|
|
|
- Rust: `#[test]` unit test, `#[tokio::test]` async, or an integration test under `tests/`. Not a `println!`.
|
|
- TypeScript: Vitest / Jest / Playwright. Storybook + a visual snapshot counts for component work.
|
|
- Any language: it exits non-zero when the behavior is broken, without a human interpreting the output.
|
|
|
|
## Coverage discipline
|
|
|
|
- Target: ≥90% line coverage on files you touched in this INT-XX item. Measured by `cargo llvm-cov` for Rust, `vitest --coverage` for TS.
|
|
- Coverage regressions on changed files block merge — enforce via the mission's `commit_policy` (Slice 4).
|
|
- 100% coverage is a smell — usually means testing implementation details. Aim for behavior coverage.
|
|
|
|
## Anti-patterns
|
|
|
|
- Writing the impl first "because it's obvious" and adding tests after — you already lost the design feedback and the tests will inevitably shape to what the impl happens to do.
|
|
- Testing multiple behaviors in one `#[test]` — a failure now hides what actually broke.
|
|
- Snapshot-only test suites — snapshots catch NOTHING structural. Pair with at least one assertion per behavior.
