054-design-tdd
FeaturedUse when Java implementation work should be guided by Test-Driven Development, including maintaining a test list, choosing the next behavior, writing a failing test first, implementing only enough production code to pass, and refactoring while keeping tests green. This should trigger for requests such as Apply TDD; Use test-driven development; Drive this Java change with tests; Write the failing test first; Red-green-refactor this feature.

058-design-bdd
Use when a Java change needs independent Behavior-Driven Development guidance from trusted behavior facts through concrete examples and observable scenarios, with focused clarification when behavior is pending or ambiguous. This should trigger for requests such as Apply BDD; Facilitate behavior examples; Discover scenarios with Given When Then; Review these examples for shared domain language; Complete BDD discovery as a self-contained interaction. Part of Plinth Toolkit
tdd
Apply practical, language-agnostic test-driven development when implementing observable behavior, reproducing and fixing bugs, or changing untested code where executable examples can guide the design. Use a small List → Red → Green → Refactor loop, with regression-first, characterization-first, refactoring, and spike-then-test variants. Do not use strict TDD for visual-only styling, exploratory work before behavior is understood, mechanical migrations, or documentation-only changes unless tests clarify a real contract or risk.
tdd
Use test-driven development for behavior-changing feature or fix work, and whenever the user mentions TDD, test-first, red-green-refactor, tracer bullets, integration tests, or public-interface behavior tests. Skip for docs-only, path-only rename, formatting-only, or purely mechanical chores unless explicitly requested.
