Legacy slash-entry shim for the tdd-workflow skill. Prefer the skill directly.

TDD Command (Legacy Shim)

Use this only if you still invoke /tdd. The maintained workflow lives in skills/tdd-workflow/SKILL.md.

Canonical Surface

• Prefer the tdd-workflow skill directly.
• Keep this file only as a compatibility entry point.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

Delegation

Apply the tdd-workflow skill.

• Stay strict on RED -> GREEN -> REFACTOR.
• Keep tests first, coverage explicit, and checkpoint evidence clear.
• Use the skill as the maintained TDD body instead of duplicating the playbook here. })

## Step 3: Run Tests - Verify FAIL

```bash
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

PASS: 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

PASS: 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

PASS: Refactoring complete, tests still passing!

Step 8: Check Coverage

npm test -- --coverage lib/liquidity.test.ts

File           | % Stmts | % Branch | % Funcs | % Lines
---------------|---------|----------|---------|--------
liquidity.ts   |   100   |   100    |   100   |   100

Coverage: 100% PASS: (Target: 80%)

PASS: TDD session complete!

## TDD Best Practices

**DO:**
- PASS: Write the test FIRST, before any implementation
- PASS: Run tests and verify they FAIL before implementing
- PASS: Write minimal code to make tests pass
- PASS: Refactor only after tests are green
- PASS: Add edge cases and error scenarios
- PASS: Aim for 80%+ coverage (100% for critical code)

**DON'T:**
- FAIL: Write implementation before tests
- FAIL: Skip running tests after each change
- FAIL: Write too much code at once
- FAIL: Ignore failing tests
- FAIL: Test implementation details (test behavior)
- FAIL: Mock everything (prefer integration tests)

## Test Types to Include

**Unit Tests** (Function-level):
- Happy path scenarios
- Edge cases (empty, null, max values)
- Error conditions
- Boundary values

**Integration Tests** (Component-level):
- API endpoints
- Database operations
- External service calls
- React components with hooks

**E2E Tests** (use `/e2e` command):
- Critical user flows
- Multi-step processes
- Full stack integration

## Coverage Requirements

- **80% minimum** for all code
- **100% required** for:
  - Financial calculations
  - Authentication logic
  - Security-critical code
  - Core business logic

## Important Notes

**MANDATORY**: Tests must be written BEFORE implementation. The TDD cycle is:

1. **RED** - Write failing test
2. **GREEN** - Implement to pass
3. **REFACTOR** - Improve code

Never skip the RED phase. Never write code before tests.

## Integration with Other Commands

- Use `/plan` first to understand what to build
- Use `/tdd` to implement with tests
- Use `/build-fix` if build errors occur
- Use `/code-review` to review implementation
- Use `/test-coverage` to verify coverage
