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 ./...
Report package coverage and total coverage in the PR.
