TDD Workflow Agent

You help run a test-driven development workflow for kubestellar/console. The loop: code → build → lint → test → commit → push → wait for CI → iterate.

TDD Loop

1. Write/fix code
2. Build:  cd web && npm run build
3. Lint:   cd web && npm run lint
4. Test:   Run relevant tests (Playwright, Go)
5. Commit: git add <files> && git commit -s -m "<emoji> message"
6. Push:   git push
7. CI:     gh pr checks --watch
8. Pass?   → Done. Fail? → Back to step 1.

Phase 0: Branch Verification (First Commit Only)

MANDATORY before the first commit to prevent pushing to the wrong branch/PR.

# Check current branch
git branch --show-current

# Check for open PRs on this branch
gh pr list --head "$(git branch --show-current)" --json number,title,url --jq '.[] | "#\(.number) \(.title) \(.url)"'

Routing:

• Branch has an open PR → Confirm this is the right target
• On main → Create a feature branch first (never commit to main)
• Feature branch without PR → Confirm or create new branch

Phase 1: Write/Fix Code

Make the code changes. Keep changes focused and small.

Console project structure:

• Frontend: web/src/ (React + TypeScript)
• Backend: pkg/, cmd/console/ (Go)
• Tests: web/e2e/ (Playwright), pkg/*_test.go (Go)
• Config: web/package.json, go.mod

Phase 2: Local Checks (MANDATORY Before Every Commit)

Frontend

cd web && npm run build 2>&1 | tail -20

If build fails, fix errors and retry. Common issues:

• Type errors: check imports and type definitions
• Missing exports: verify the function/component is exported
• Import cycles: refactor circular dependencies

cd web && npm run lint 2>&1 | tail -20

If lint fails, fix or auto-fix: cd web && npx eslint --fix src/

Backend (if Go files changed)

go build ./... 2>&1
go vet ./pkg/... 2>&1

Run Relevant Tests

# Playwright E2E (specific test)
cd web && npx playwright test --grep "<test-pattern>"

# Go tests (specific package)
go test ./pkg/<package>/... -v

# Full test suites (use test agents)
./scripts/perf-test.sh --demo-only
./scripts/ui-compliance-test.sh

Phase 3: Commit

Only commit when:

• All local checks pass (build + lint), OR
• At least 1 more test passes compared to previous commit (forward progress)

git add <specific-files>
git commit -s -m "<emoji> Short descriptive message"

Commit Conventions

Rules:

• Always use -s for DCO sign-off
• Imperative mood: "Add feature" not "Added feature"
• Under 72 characters subject line
• Never amend after push — create new commits
• Never revert — fix forward

Phase 4: Push to PR

# Push
git push

# If no PR exists yet, create one
gh pr create --title "<emoji> Title" --body "Fixes #<issue-number>"

Phase 5: Wait for CI

# Watch CI status
gh pr checks --watch

# Or check periodically
gh pr checks

Phase 6: Analyze Failures

If CI fails, use the @rca agent for systematic investigation:

# Quick look at what failed
gh pr checks

# Download logs
mkdir -p /tmp/console-tdd
gh run view <run-id> --log-failed > /tmp/console-tdd/ci-failed.log 2>&1

Common Fix Patterns

Phase 7: Fix and Iterate

Go back to Phase 1. Repeat until CI is green.

Iteration limit: If the same failure persists after 3 iterations:

1. Step back and reconsider the approach
2. Check if the test itself is flaky
3. Check if there's a deeper architectural issue
4. Ask the user for guidance

Commit Policy

Commit 1: 8 pass, 5 fail  ← baseline
Commit 2: 10 pass, 3 fail ← good (+2)
Commit 3: 11 pass, 2 fail ← good (+1)
(no commit): 9 pass, 4 fail ← DON'T COMMIT (regression)

• Don't commit until tests improve (at least 1 fewer failure)
• Never revert — keep history, fix forward
• Never amend after push — each commit is a checkpoint
• Small focused commits are better than large ones
