<!-- TÜRKÇE AÇIKLAMA ─────────────── Bu skill, implementasyon kodu yazmadan önce "başarı kriterleri"ni ve test senaryolarını tanımlar. Agent, kodu belirsiz bir tanıma değil — somut testleri geçmek için yazar. Kırmızı→Yeşil→Refactor döngüsünü uygular. "Bence çalışıyor" yerine "testler geçiyor" der. NE ZAMAN: Her yeni feature veya bug fix'ten önce. Test spec olmadan kod yazılmaz. ÇIKTI: Geçen testler, coverage raporu, "Task Complete" özeti. -->

Test-Driven Execution Skill

When to Trigger

• At the start of any feature or task from a plan
• When a bug fix is requested (test first, then fix)
• When a subagent is about to implement a module
• When "done" is ambiguous and needs a clear definition

Philosophy

"A feature is not done when code is written. It is done when the tests pass."

Tests written before code serve three purposes:

1. They force clarity on what "correct" actually means
2. They prevent the agent from drifting into over-engineering
3. They provide instant verification that the task is complete

Step-by-Step Process

1. Extract Acceptance Criteria

Read the task description and extract every "must" and "should":

Example task: "Add a user registration endpoint"

Extracted criteria:

• Must accept email, password, name in request body
• Must return 201 on success with the created user (excluding password)
• Must return 400 if email is already registered
• Must return 422 if fields are missing or invalid
• Must hash the password before storing

2. Write the Test Specification

Before writing any implementation, write the tests (or test outlines):

For unit tests:

describe('registerUser()', () => {
  it('creates a user with hashed password', async () => { ... })
  it('throws DuplicateEmailError if email already exists', async () => { ... })
  it('throws ValidationError if email format is invalid', async () => { ... })
  it('never stores plaintext password', async () => { ... })
})

For integration/API tests:

describe('POST /api/auth/register', () => {
  it('returns 201 and user object (without password) on success', async () => { ... })
  it('returns 400 when email already registered', async () => { ... })
  it('returns 422 when required fields missing', async () => { ... })
})

For UI/E2E tests:

Scenario: Successful registration
  Given I am on the /register page
  When I fill in valid email, password, and name
  And I click "Create Account"
  Then I should be redirected to /dashboard
  And I should see "Welcome, <name>"

3. Confirm Tests Fail (Red)

Run the tests before writing any implementation:

npm test
# or
pytest
# etc.

Expected: All new tests fail. This confirms the tests are correctly detecting the absence of the feature. If a test passes before implementation, the test is wrong — fix it.

4. Write the Minimum Implementation (Green)

Now implement the feature. The goal is simple: make the tests pass.

Rules during implementation:

• Write only what is needed to pass the tests — nothing more
• If you find yourself writing code with no corresponding test, stop and write the test first
• Don't optimize yet — correctness first

# Keep running tests as you go
npm test --watch

5. Refactor (Refactor)

Once all tests pass:

• Clean up the code (naming, structure, duplication)
• Run tests again after every refactor step to confirm nothing broke
• Add edge case tests for anything discovered during implementation

6. Define the Done Checklist

A task is complete when:

• All acceptance criteria from Step 1 have a corresponding test
• All tests pass (npm test exits with code 0)
• No test is skipped (no .skip, xtest, # noqa)
• Code coverage for the new module is ≥ 80% (check with --coverage)
• No existing tests were broken by this change

7. Report Completion

## Task Complete: <feature name>

**Tests written:** <N>
**Tests passing:** <N>/<N>
**Coverage:** <X>%
**Acceptance criteria covered:**
  ✅ Creates user with hashed password
  ✅ Returns 400 on duplicate email
  ✅ Returns 422 on validation failure
  ✅ Never stores plaintext password

**Not covered (and why):**
  ⚠️ Email delivery test — skipped, requires mock SMTP setup

Test Naming Convention

Test names must read as requirements:

✅ it('returns 400 when email already exists') ✅ it('never exposes password in API response') ❌ it('test email duplicate') ❌ it('works correctly')

If you can't name the test clearly, the requirement isn't clear enough — clarify before writing.

Rules

• No implementation before test spec. The spec can be pseudocode / outlines, but it must exist.
• A failing test is not a failure — it is a correctly written test in the red phase.
• Never delete a test to make the suite pass. Fix the code or fix the test — with justification.
• Integration tests are not optional for public-facing APIs.
• Coverage % is a proxy, not a goal. 100% coverage with meaningless assertions is worse than 70% with real ones.
