TDD Test Generation

Invoke the test-master agent to write comprehensive TDD tests for a feature.

Implementation

Invoke the test-master agent with the user's feature description.

ARGUMENTS: {{ARGUMENTS}}

Use the Task tool to invoke the test-master agent with subagent_type="test-master" and provide the feature description from ARGUMENTS.

What This Does

You describe a feature. The test-master agent will:

1. Write comprehensive unit tests (TDD - tests FIRST)
2. Create integration tests for workflows
3. Add edge case and error handling tests
4. Ensure tests FAIL initially (ready for implementation)

Time: 2-5 minutes (vs 20-30 min full pipeline)

Usage

/test-feature rate limiting with sliding window

/test-feature JWT authentication with token refresh

/test-feature blog post CRUD API with pagination

Output

The test-master provides:

• Unit Tests: Core logic tests
• Integration Tests: Workflow and system tests
• Edge Cases: Boundary conditions and error handling
• Test Coverage: Comprehensive test suite (80%+ target)

All tests will FAIL initially (TDD approach - write tests before code).

When to Use

Use /test-feature when you need:

• Tests written before implementation (TDD)
• Comprehensive test coverage planning
• Test suite for manual implementation
• Quick test generation without full pipeline

Next Steps

After test generation, you can:

1. Review tests - Ensure tests cover requirements
2. Implement feature - Use /implement <feature> to make tests pass
3. Manual coding - Write code yourself to make tests pass
4. Full pipeline - Use /auto-implement <feature> for complete workflow

Comparison

Command	Time	What It Does
/research	2-5 min	Research only
/plan	3-5 min	Research + planning
/test-feature	2-5 min	TDD test generation (this command)
/implement	5-10 min	Code implementation
/auto-implement	20-30 min	Full pipeline (research → plan → test → implement → review → security → docs)

Technical Details

This command invokes the test-master agent with:

• Model: Sonnet (balanced speed/quality)
• Tools: Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash
• Permissions: Can write test files only
