Test Driven Development
Skill Verified ActiveUse when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
To enforce a strict Test-Driven Development process for all coding tasks, ensuring code quality and reliability by writing tests first.
Features
- Enforces Red-Green-Refactor cycle
- Mandates writing failing tests before implementation
- Provides detailed guidance on test writing and code minimalization
- Addresses common rationalizations for skipping TDD
- Includes a verification checklist for TDD adherence
Use Cases
- Implementing any new feature
- Fixing any bug
- Refactoring existing code
- Making behavior changes
Non-Goals
- Writing implementation code before writing a failing test
- Treating TDD as optional or skippable
- Allowing code written without a preceding failing test to remain

Semgrep Rule Creator
100Creates custom Semgrep rules for detecting security vulnerabilities, bug patterns, and code patterns. Use when writing Semgrep rules or building custom static analysis detections.
Moyu (摸鱼)
100과잉 엔지니어링 패턴이 감지되면 자동으로 활성화됩니다: (1) 사용자가 명시적으로 변경을 요청하지 않은 코드나 파일을 수정하는 경우 (2) 요청되지 않은 새로운 추상화 레이어(class, interface, factory, wrapper)를 생성하는 경우 (3) 요청되지 않은 주석, 문서, JSDoc, 타입 어노테이션을 추가하는 경우 (4) 요청되지 않은 새로운 의존성을 도입하는 경우 (5) 최소한의 편집 대신 파일 전체를 다시 작성하는 경우 (6) diff 범위가 사용자의 요청을 명백히 초과하는 경우 (7) 사용자가 "너무 많아", "거기는 건드리지 마", "X만 변경해", "간단하게", "그만" 등의 신호를 보내는 경우 (8) 발생할 수 없는 시나리오에 대한 에러 처리, 유효성 검사, 방어적 코드를 추가하는 경우 (9) 요청되지 않은 테스트, 설정 스캐폴딩, 문서를 생성하는 경우
Wrap Up Ritual
100End-of-session ritual that audits changes, runs quality checks, captures learnings, and produces a session summary. Use when saying "wrap up", "done for the day", "finish coding", or ending a coding session.
Cleanup Cycles
100Detect and untangle circular dependencies. Runs madge/skott (TS), pycycle (Py), or compiler-only checks (Go/Rust). Auto-fixes leaf-extractable cycles; reports core cycles for human review. Use when the user asks to find circular imports, fix dependency cycles, or untangle module graph. Example queries — "find circular imports", "fix dependency cycles", "untangle our module graph", "why is madge complaining".
