admin b723e2bd7d Reorganize: Move all skills to skills/ folder
- Created skills/ directory
- Moved 272 skills to skills/ subfolder
- Kept agents/ at root level
- Kept installation scripts and docs at root level

Repository structure:
- skills/           - All 272 skills from skills.sh
- agents/           - Agent definitions
- *.sh, *.ps1       - Installation scripts
- README.md, etc.   - Documentation

# TDD Workflow
> Write tests first, code second.
---
## 1. The TDD Cycle
```
🔴 RED → Write failing test
🟢 GREEN → Write minimal code to pass
🔵 REFACTOR → Improve code quality
Repeat...
```
---
## 2. The Three Laws of TDD
1. Write production code only to make a failing test pass
2. Write only enough test to demonstrate failure
3. Write only enough code to make the test pass
---
## 3. RED Phase Principles
### What to Write
| Focus | Example |
|-------|---------|
| Behavior | "should add two numbers" |
| Edge cases | "should handle empty input" |
| Error states | "should throw for invalid data" |
### RED Phase Rules
- Test must fail first
- Test name describes expected behavior
- One assertion per test (ideally)
---
## 4. GREEN Phase Principles
### Minimum Code
| Principle | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| **YAGNI** | You Aren't Gonna Need It |
| **Simplest thing** | Write the minimum to pass |
| **No optimization** | Just make it work |
### GREEN Phase Rules
- Don't write unneeded code
- Don't optimize yet
- Pass the test, nothing more
---
## 5. REFACTOR Phase Principles
### What to Improve
| Area | Action |
|------|--------|
| Duplication | Extract common code |
| Naming | Make intent clear |
| Structure | Improve organization |
| Complexity | Simplify logic |
### REFACTOR Rules
- All tests must stay green
- Small incremental changes
- Commit after each refactor
---
## 6. AAA Pattern
Every test follows:
| Step | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| **Arrange** | Set up test data |
| **Act** | Execute code under test |
| **Assert** | Verify expected outcome |
---
## 7. When to Use TDD
| Scenario | TDD Value |
|----------|-----------|
| New feature | High |
| Bug fix | High (write test first) |
| Complex logic | High |
| Exploratory | Low (spike, then TDD) |
| UI layout | Low |
---
## 8. Test Prioritization
| Priority | Test Type |
|----------|-----------|
| 1 | Happy path |
| 2 | Error cases |
| 3 | Edge cases |
| 4 | Performance |
---
## 9. Anti-Patterns
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|----------|-------|
| Skip the RED phase | Watch test fail first |
| Write tests after | Write tests before |
| Over-engineer initial | Keep it simple |
| Multiple asserts | One behavior per test |
| Test implementation | Test behavior |
---
## 10. AI-Augmented TDD
### Multi-Agent Pattern
| Agent | Role |
|-------|------|
| Agent A | Write failing tests (RED) |
| Agent B | Implement to pass (GREEN) |
| Agent C | Optimize (REFACTOR) |
---
> **Remember:** The test is the specification. If you can't write a test, you don't understand the requirement.
