/tdd

description: Enforce test-driven development workflow. Scaffold interfaces, generate tests FIRST, then implement minimal code to pass. Ensure 80%+ coverage.

TDD Command

This command invokes the **tdd-guide** agent to enforce test-driven development methodology.

What This Command Does

1. **Scaffold Interfaces** - Define types/interfaces first 2. **Generate Tests First** - Write failing tests (RED) 3. **Implement Minimal Code** - Write just enough to pass (GREEN) 4. **Refactor** - Improve code while keeping tests green (REFACTOR) 5. **Verify Coverage** - Ensure 80%+ test coverage

When to Use

Use `/tdd` when:

• Implementing new features
• Adding new functions/components
• Fixing bugs (write test that reproduces bug first)
• Refactoring existing code
• Building critical business logic

How It Works

The tdd-guide agent will:

1. **Define interfaces** for inputs/outputs 2. **Write tests that will FAIL** (because code doesn't exist yet) 3. **Run tests** and verify they fail for the right reason 4. **Write minimal implementation** to make tests pass 5. **Run tests** and verify they pass 6. **Refactor** code while keeping tests green 7. **Check coverage** and add more tests if below 80%

TDD Cycle

RED → GREEN → REFACTOR → REPEAT

RED:      Write a failing test
GREEN:    Write minimal code to pass
REFACTOR: Improve code, keep tests passing
REPEAT:   Next feature/scenario

Example Usage

User: /tdd I need a function to calculate market liquidity score

Agent (tdd-guide):
# TDD Session: Market Liquidity Score Calculator

## Step 1: Define Interface (SCAFFOLD)

```typescript
// lib/liquidity.ts
export interface MarketData {
  totalVolume: number
  bidAskSpread: number
  activeTraders: number
  lastTradeTime: Date
}

export function calculateLiquidityScore(market: MarketData): number {
  // TODO: Implementation
  throw new Error('Not implemented')
}

Step 2: Write Failing Test (RED)

// lib/liquidity.test.ts
import { calculateLiquidityScore } from './liquidity'

describe('calculateLiquidityScore', () => {
  it('should return high score for liquid market', () => {
    const market = {
      totalVolume: 100000,
      bidAskSpread: 0.01,
      activeTraders: 500,
      lastTradeTime: new Date()
    }

    const score = calculateLiquidityScore(market)

    expect(score).toBeGreaterThan(80)
    expect(score).toBeLessThanOrEqual(100)
  })

  it('should return low score for illiquid market', () => {
    const market = {
      totalVolume: 100,
      bidAskSpread: 0.5,
      activeTraders: 2,
      lastTradeTime: new Date(Date.now() - 86400000) // 1 day ago
    }

    const score = calculateLiquidityScore(market)

    expect(score).toBeLessThan(30)
    expect(score).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(0)
  })

  it('should handle edge case: zero volume', () => {
    const market = {
      totalVolume: 0,
      bidAskSpread: 0,
      activeTraders: 0,
      lastTradeTime: new Date()
    }

    const score = calculateLiquidityScore(market)

    expect(score).toBe(0)
  })
})

Step 3: Run Tests - Verify FAIL

npm test lib/liquidity.test.ts

FAIL lib/liquidity.test.ts
  ✕ should return high score for liquid market (2 ms)
    Error: Not implemented

1 test failed, 0 passed

✅ Tests fail as expected. Ready to implement.

Step 4: Implement Minimal Code (GREEN)

// lib/liquidity.ts
export function calculateLiquidityScore(market: MarketData): number {
  // Handle zero volume edge case
  if (market.totalVolume === 0) {
    return 0
  }

  // Calculate component scores (0-100 scale)
  const volumeScore = Math.min(market.totalVolume / 1000, 100)
  const spreadScore = Math.max(100 - (market.bidAskSpread * 1000), 0)
  const traderScore = Math.min(market.activeTraders / 10, 100)

  // Recent activity bonus
  const hoursSinceLastTrade = (Date.now() - market.lastTradeTime.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60)
  const recencyScore = Math.max(100 - (hoursSinceLastTrade * 10), 0)

  // Weighted average
  const score = (
    volumeScore * 0.4 +
    spreadScore * 0.3 +
    traderScore * 0.2 +
    recencyScore * 0.1
  )

  return Math.min(Math.max(score, 0), 100) // Clamp to 0-100
}

Step 5: Run Tests - Verify PASS

npm test lib/liquidity.test.ts

PASS lib/liquidity.test.ts
  ✓ should return high score for liquid market (3 ms)
  ✓ should return low score for illiquid market (2 ms)
  ✓ should handle edge case: zero volume (1 ms)

3 tests passed

✅ All tests passing!

Step 6: Refactor (IMPROVE)

// lib/liquidity.ts - Refactored with constants and better readability
const WEIGHTS = {
  VOLUME: 0.4,
  SPREAD: 0.3,
  TRADERS: 0.2,
  RECENCY: 0.1,
} as const

const SCALE_FACTORS = {
  VOLUME: 1000,
  SPREAD: 1000,
  TRADERS: 10,
  RECENCY_PENALTY: 10,
} as const

function clamp(value: number, min: number, max: number): number {
  return Math.min(Math.max(value, min), max)
}

export function calculateLiquidityScore(market: MarketData): number {
  if (market.totalVolume === 0) return 0

  const volumeScore = Math.min(market.totalVolume / SCALE_FACTORS.VOLUME, 100)
  const spreadScore = clamp(100 - (market.bidAskSpread * SCALE_FACTORS.SPREAD), 0, 100)
  const traderScore = Math.min(market.activeTraders / SCALE_FACTORS.TRADERS, 100)

  const hoursSinceLastTrade = (Date.now() - market.lastTradeTime.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60)
  const recencyScore = clamp(100 - (hoursSinceLastTrade * SCALE_FACTORS.RECENCY_PENALTY), 0, 100)

  const weightedScore =
    volumeScore * WEIGHTS.VOLUME +
    spreadScore * WEIGHTS.SPREAD +
    traderScore * WEIGHTS.TRADERS +
    recencyScore * WEIGHTS.RECENCY

  return clamp(weightedScore, 0, 100)
}

Step 7: Verify Tests Still Pass

npm test lib/liquidity.test.ts

PASS lib/liquidity.test.ts
  ✓ should return high score for liquid market (3 ms)
  ✓ should return low score for illiquid market (2 ms)
  ✓ should handle edge case: zero volume (1 ms)

3 tests passed
