Tsdd
Test-Spec Driven Development (TSDD): tests are the durable specification, TDD is the operating discipline, prose carries only Why, and `CLAUDE.md` stays a navigation map. Load before production code, tests, ADRs, architectural decisions, `CLAUDE.md` edits, or any durable prose artifact that would duplicate tests or code. Also load when the user asks to write tests or define test behavior before implementation, including "test 書いて", "test 書いて", "テスト書いて", "pytest", "テスト環境", "TSDD", "Test-Spec Driven Development", "TDD で実装", "ADR を書いて", "decision record", or "executable specification".

When should I use the Tsdd skill?
Use Tsdd when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the testing area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Tsdd" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Tsdd skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Tsdd is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category. Learn more at
