Write tests first, watch them fail, then implement minimal code to pass.
Run in your terminal
Follows the red-green-refactor cycle: write a failing test, verify it fails correctly, implement minimal code to pass, then refactor while keeping tests green
Requires deleting any production code written before tests exist; no exceptions for \"reference\" or \"adaptation\"
Emphasizes watching tests fail as proof they actually test the right thing; tests that pass immediately prove nothing

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiontest-driven-developmentExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Package manager
npx skills add https://github.com/obra/superpowers --skill test-driven-developmentFetches test-driven-development from obra/superpowers and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate test-driven-development. Access via /test-driven-developmentin your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.
