SPARC TDD Mode

Purpose

Test-driven development with TodoWrite planning and comprehensive testing.

Activation

Option 1: Using MCP Tools (Preferred in Claude Code)

mcp__claude-flow__sparc_mode {
  mode: "tdd",
  task_description: "shopping cart feature",
  options: {
    coverage_target: 90,
    test_framework: "jest"
  }
}

Option 2: Using NPX CLI (Fallback when MCP not available)

# Use when running from terminal or MCP tools unavailable
npx claude-flow sparc run tdd "shopping cart feature"

# For alpha features
npx claude-flow@alpha sparc run tdd "shopping cart feature"

Option 3: Local Installation

# If claude-flow is installed locally
./claude-flow sparc run tdd "shopping cart feature"
