tdd-workflow

Develop features through a test-first workflow using mocks, or stand-ins for dependencies. Write a failing behavior test, implement the minimum code, refactor, and record observed results from final target and regression tests.

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Follow the TDD London School (mock-first) approach:

  1. Write the failing test first -- define expected behavior with mocked dependencies
  2. Run the test -- confirm it fails for the right reason
  3. Implement minimal code -- make the test pass with the simplest solution
  4. Refactor -- clean up while keeping tests green
  5. Repeat -- add the next behavior

Before starting: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_pre-task({ description: "TDD: FEATURE_NAME" }) Before reporting the outcome, run the final target tests and the regression suite after the last edit. Record the actual commands, exit codes, whether tests ran, and failing test names. The initial red test is expected during TDD; only the final validation determines success.

Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_post-task with the observed result, including when the task is abandoned or validation is interrupted. Set completed, targetTestsRan, and regressionTestsRan to true only when observed; use null for missing exit codes. Skipped or unrun validation is not success. Never substitute an expected result for an observed one.

The following example maps those observations to the hook input (tool-call notation):

const success = completed && targetTestsRan && regressionTestsRan
  && targetExitCode === 0 && regressionExitCode === 0;
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_post-task({
  taskId: "tdd-FEATURE",
  success,
  storeResults: true,
  task: JSON.stringify({
    feature: "FEATURE",
    targetCommand, targetExitCode, targetTestsRan,
    regressionCommand, regressionExitCode, regressionTestsRan,
    failingTestNames,
    failureReason: success ? null : failureReason
  })
});

On failure, report success: false and the failing test names in task. If the runner failed before identifying tests, or the task was abandoned, state that reason instead of inventing test names.

Principles:

  • Mock external dependencies at boundaries
  • Test behavior, not implementation
  • One assertion per test when possible
  • Descriptive names: should [behavior] when [condition]

adr-create

FreeSummary

Create an Architecture Decision Record, a document for recording important design choices, with the next sequential number. It generates a Markdown template, registers the record in AgentDB, and links related decisions found through search.

  • Record the reasoning behind adopting a technology
  • Start an ADR for an API or data model change
  • Document an infrastructure decision

adr-index

FreeSummary

Build a searchable index and relationship graph from ADRs, records of architectural decisions. Import two supported document formats, refresh existing metadata without duplicate relationships, and review summaries of statuses, missing references, and inconsistencies.

  • Index ADRs imported from another project
  • Refresh a graph that differs from files on disk
  • Set up ADR tracking in an existing codebase

adr-reindex

FreeSummary

Rebuild the index of ADRs, records of architectural decisions, after files or relationship lines are deleted. It clears stored records and relationships, indexes the files still present, and checks that the final record count matches.

  • Rebuild the index after deleting an ADR file
  • Remove stale relationships after editing an ADR
  • Reconcile the ADR index on a schedule

adr-review

FreeSummary

Review code changes against accepted Architecture Decision Records, documents that capture agreed design choices. Report violations, outdated references, compliant changes, and areas without ADR coverage, then suggest code fixes or a new decision record where appropriate.

  • Check a pull request before merging
  • Review major code changes against agreed design decisions
  • Find references to superseded ADRs

adr-verify

FreeSummary

Check saved architecture decision records (ADRs) for broken references, circular replacement relationships, and inconsistent statuses. Use the results to verify imported records or stop a CI check when selected integrity rules fail.

  • Checking ADR integrity after import
  • Blocking CI when ADR issues are found
  • Reviewing ADR data before a release
