📋 Summary

This PR adds comprehensive Test-Driven Development (TDD) capabilities to OpenAgentsControl, transforming it into a true TDD-first development framework with mandatory testing requirements at every level.

✅ Changes

NEW: TDD Standards Context

  • Added .opencode/context/core/standards/tdd.md
  • Establishes mandatory TDD practices with strict enforcement rules
  • Red-Green-Refactor sequence enforcement
  • Test quality requirements (positive/negative, AAA pattern, mocking)
  • Blocking rules for CoderAgent

ENHANCED: CoderAgent

  • Modified .opencode/agent/subagents/code/coder-agent.md
  • Added @test_first rule: Write failing test BEFORE implementation
  • Added @test_never_skip rule: Never complete without tests
  • Added Step 3.5: Verify Test Exists (TDD Mandate)
  • Enhanced Step 6: Implement with TDD Green Phase
  • Added Check 5: TDD Verification in Self-Review Loop

ENHANCED: OpenCoder

  • Modified .opencode/agent/core/opencoder.md
  • Added TDD Verification (MANDATORY) to Stage 6: ValidateAndHandoff
  • Verifies RED→GREEN pattern before handoff
  • Rejects implementation if TDD checks fail
  • Added TDD Enforcement statement to execution philosophy

🎯 Architecture

TDD enforcement is distributed across two levels:

  1. CoderAgent (Implementation): Enforces TDD at code implementation time

    • RED phase: Write failing test first
    • GREEN phase: Implement to pass test
  2. OpenCoder (Orchestration): Validates TDD at handoff time

    • Verifies all TDD checks passed
    • Rejects if any checks fail

✨ Benefits

  • Mandatory test-first development: All code must follow RED→GREEN workflow
  • Production-ready code: Comprehensive testing at every stage
  • Reduced bugs: Early detection through TDD methodology
  • Team consistency: Shared standards committed to repository
  • Clear enforcement: Blocking rules prevent test-free completion

🔍 What This Means

  • CoderAgent now blocks completion if tests are missing or failing
  • OpenCoder validates TDD was followed before handoff
  • All tests must follow Arrange-Act-Assert pattern
  • Both positive and negative test cases required
  • No exceptions to TDD workflow without documentation

TDD is now the foundation of OAC development!
