    "description": "Test-Driven Development is a rigid process skill from the Superpowers plugin that enforces a strict red-green-refactor loop for any feature implementation or bug fix. Before the agent is allowed to write production code, the skill requires it to write a failing test that captures the desired behavior, watch that test fail for the right reason, write the minimum implementation that makes the test pass, and only then refactor with the test still passing as a guardrail.\n\nFunctionally, the skill reads existing test and source files to find the right place for new tests and code, and writes new test files plus implementation files as the agent moves through the loop. It does not request shell execution — the test runs themselves go through the Claude Code Bash tool — and it does not request network or credential access.\n\nThe skill is community trust because it ships in an independent plugin. The active risk signals come from filesystem read and write, the minimum surface for any skill that produces tests and code, and do not match any dangerous combination. The notable property of the skill is not its capability surface but its discipline: it actively prevents agents from skipping the test step when the underlying task is harder than expected.",
