+# Kent Beck TDD Integration for Spec-Kit
+
+## Overview
+
+This integration brings **Kent Beck's Test-Driven Development (TDD)** methodology into spec-kit, combining the power of specification-driven development with disciplined test-first implementation.
+
+**Inspired by**: [Kent Beck's "Augmented Coding Beyond the Vibes"](https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/augmented-coding-beyond-the-vibes)
+
+## 🎯 Why This Integration?
+
+### The Problem
+
+AI coding assistants are powerful but can exhibit problematic patterns:
+
+1. **Loops (Repetition)**: AI generates similar code patterns multiple times
+2. **Over-engineering**: AI adds unrequested features "just in case"
+3. **Test Cheating**: AI weakens or disables tests to make them pass
+
+### The Solution
+
+Kent Beck's TDD methodology + Spec-Kit's structured workflow = **Disciplined AI-assisted development**
+
+```
+Spec-Kit (WHAT to build)
+    +
+Kent Beck TDD (HOW to build)
+    =
+Fast documentation + High-quality code
+```
+
+## 📁 What's Added
+
+### 1. Kent Beck CLAUDE.md Template
+
+**File**: `templates/kent-beck-claude-template.md`
+
+A comprehensive template that includes:
+
+- **TDD Methodology**: Red → Green → Refactor cycle
+- **Tidy First Principles**: Separate structural from behavioral changes
+- **AI Warning Signs**: Auto-detect loops, over-engineering, test cheating
+- **Code Quality Standards**: Kent Beck's simple design rules
+- **Commit Discipline**: When and how to commit following TDD
+- **Project-Specific Config**: Auto-populated from constitution.md and plan.md
+
+**Key Features**:
+- Auto-detects tech stack from plan.md
+- Extracts performance requirements from constitution.md
+- Preserves manual customizations
+- Compatible with all Speckit commands
+
+---
+
+### 2. `/speckit.init-tdd` Command
+
+**File**: `templates/commands/init-tdd.md`
+
+Initializes Kent Beck TDD workflow in your project.
+
+**What it does**:
+1. Reads your constitution.md and plan.md
+2. Loads kent-beck-claude-template.md
+3. Auto-populates project-specific sections:
+   - Project name
+   - Tech stack (languages, frameworks, testing tools)
+   - Architecture patterns
+   - Performance requirements
+   - Code conventions
+4. Creates `CLAUDE.md` in project root
+5. Optionally commits to git
+
+**Usage**:
+```bash
+# Minimal setup (5 seconds)
+/speckit.init-tdd
+
+# Interactive mode (asks questions)
+/speckit.init-tdd --interactive
+
+# With git hooks
+/speckit.init-tdd --with-hooks
+```
+
+**Output**:
+```
+✅ Kent Beck TDD Workflow Initialized
+
+📁 Created: CLAUDE.md (12.5 KB)
+📋 Configuration: Python 3.11+, FastAPI, pytest
+🎯 Next: Run /speckit.go to start TDD cycle
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. `/speckit.go` Command
+
+**File**: `templates/commands/go.md`
+
+Implements Kent Beck's "go" workflow for one task.
+
+**TDD Cycle**:
+
+1. **Find Next Task**: Scans tasks.md for first unmarked `- [ ]` task
+2. **RED Phase**: Write failing test (test-first, always)
+3. **GREEN Phase**: Implement minimum code to pass
+4. **REFACTOR Phase**: Improve structure (optional)
+5. **COMMIT Phase**: Following Tidy First (structural ≠ behavioral)
+6. **Mark Complete**: Update tasks.md
+
+**AI Warning Signs Detection**:
+
+| Warning | Detection | Action |
+|---------|-----------|--------|
+| **Loops** | Similar code 2+ times | STOP, suggest abstraction |
+| **Over-engineering** | Features beyond test | STOP, revert to minimum |
+| **Test Cheating** | Test modified to pass | ERROR, revert immediately |
+
+**Usage**:
+```bash
+# Implement next task with TDD
+/speckit.go
+
+# Continue until all tasks complete
+/speckit.go
+/speckit.go
+...
+```
+
+**Example Session**:
+```
+📋 Next Task: T014 [US1] Implement UserService
+
+RED Phase: Writing failing test...
+✅ Test fails (expected)
+
+GREEN Phase: Implementing minimum code...
+✅ Test passes
+
+REFACTOR Phase: Checking for improvements...
+✅ No refactoring needed
+
+COMMIT Phase: Creating commits...
+✅ feat: add user registration to UserService
+✅ docs: mark task T014 as complete
+
+Next Task: T015 [US1] Add user registration endpoint
+```
+
+---

+
+## 🎓 Kent Beck's Core Principles (Built-In)
+
+### 1. TDD Cycle
+
+**Red → Green → Refactor**
+- RED: Write failing test first (always)
+- GREEN: Minimum code to pass (no more)
+- REFACTOR: Improve structure (only when green)
+
+### 2. Tidy First
+
+**Separate commits**:
+- Structural changes (refactoring): `refactor: extract method`
+- Behavioral changes (features): `feat: add registration`
+- NEVER mix in same commit
+
+### 3. Simple Design Rules
+
+1. Eliminate duplication ruthlessly
+2. Express intent clearly
+3. Make dependencies explicit
+4. Keep methods small (<20 lines)
+5. Minimize state and side effects
+6. Use simplest solution that works
+
+### 4. Commit Discipline
+
+**Only commit when**:
+- All tests pass (no exceptions)
+- All linter warnings resolved
+- Single logical unit of work
+- Clear commit message (structural or behavioral)
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 AI Warning Signs (Auto-Detection)
+
+### Warning Sign 1: Loops (Repetition)
+
+**Example**:
+```python
+# ❌ AI generated 3 similar functions
+def get_user_data(): ...
+def fetch_user_data(): ...
+def retrieve_user_data(): ...
+```
+
+**Action**: `/speckit.go` STOPS and asks:
+> "⚠️ Repetition detected. Should we extract a common abstraction?"
+
+---
+
+### Warning Sign 2: Over-Engineering
+
+**Example**:
+```python
+# spec.md said: "Store user preferences"
+# AI added: caching, expiration, validation, notifications, metrics
+```
+
+**Action**: `/speckit.go` STOPS and warns:
+> "⚠️ Unrequested features detected. Revert to minimum implementation?"
+
+---
+
+### Warning Sign 3: Test Cheating
+
+**Example**:
+```python
+# Original test
+assert result == 15.5
+
+# AI changed to
+assert result is not None  # ❌ Weakened!
+```
+
+**Action**: `/speckit.go` ERRORS immediately:
+> "❌ FATAL: Test manipulation detected. Reverting changes."
+
+---
+
+## 📖 Real-World Example
+
+### Project: E-Commerce Platform
+
+**Problem**: Building user authentication and shopping cart system
+
+**Before TDD Integration**:
+- Spec-Kit created spec.md in 15 minutes ✅
+- Plan.md generated architecture ✅
+- AI coded 2000 lines in 1 hour 🏃‍♂️
+- But: 15 bugs found in testing 😰
+- And: AI added caching features (not requested) 🤦
+- And: 30% test coverage 📉
+
+**After TDD Integration**:
+- Spec-Kit created spec.md in 15 minutes ✅
+- Plan.md generated architecture ✅
+- `/speckit.init-tdd` created CLAUDE.md ✅
+- `/speckit.go` repeated 50 times for 50 tasks 🔄
+- Result: 2000 lines in 3 hours (slower, but...) 🐢
+- With: 3 bugs found in testing 😊
+- With: No unrequested features ✨
+- With: 85% test coverage 📈
+- With: Clean commit history 📚
+
+**Time Comparison**:
+- Before: 1h code + 8h debugging = **9 hours total**
+- After: 3h TDD coding + 1h refinement = **4 hours total**
+
+**Net savings: 5 hours per feature** ⏰

+
+## 📝 Implementation Notes
+
+### Design Decisions
+
+1. **Why separate CLAUDE.md?**
+   - Constitution.md = WHAT to build (product principles)
+   - CLAUDE.md = HOW to build (development methodology)
+   - Clear separation of concerns
+
+2. **Why `/speckit.go` instead of modifying `/speckit.implement`?**
+   - `/speckit.implement` runs ALL tasks automatically
+   - `/speckit.go` runs ONE task with TDD discipline
+   - Gives developer control over TDD cycle
+   - Can pause/resume easily
+
+3. **Why auto-detect AI warning signs?**
+   - Humans miss subtle patterns
+   - AI can analyze own output objectively
+   - Prevents bad habits from forming
+   - Enforces Kent Beck principles automatically
+
+### Future Enhancements
+
+**Planned**:
+- [ ] Git hooks template for TDD enforcement
+- [ ] Metrics dashboard (test coverage, warning signs)
+- [ ] Integration with popular test frameworks
+- [ ] Video tutorial for `/speckit.go` workflow
+
+**Community Ideas Welcome!**

+
+## ❓ FAQ
+
+### Q: Do I need to use both `/speckit.implement` and `/speckit.go`?
+
+A: No. Choose one:
+- `/speckit.implement`: Runs all tasks automatically (faster)
+- `/speckit.go`: Runs one task with TDD (more disciplined)
+
+Use `/speckit.go` when you want strict TDD. Use `/speckit.implement` for quick prototypes.
+
+### Q: Can I use Kent Beck TDD without spec-kit?
+
+A: Yes! The `kent-beck-claude-template.md` can be used standalone. Just copy to your project root as `CLAUDE.md` and customize manually.
+
+### Q: What if my tests are slow?
+
+A: `/speckit.go` runs tests frequently. For slow tests:
+- Use test categories (unit vs integration)
+- Run only relevant tests during RED-GREEN cycle
+- Run full suite before COMMIT phase
+
+### Q: Does this work with languages other than Python?
+
+A: Yes! Template is language-agnostic. Auto-populated sections adapt to your tech stack from plan.md. Tested with Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go.

+description: Execute Kent Beck TDD cycle for next unmarked task from tasks.md
+---
+
+## User Input
+
+```text
+$ARGUMENTS
+```
+
+You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
+
+## Outline
+
+This command implements **Kent Beck's "go" workflow** for Test-Driven Development. It finds the next unmarked task in `tasks.md`, implements it following strict TDD principles (Red → Green → Refactor), and commits the result.
+
+1. **Load Context**: Read CLAUDE.md, spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md
+2. **Find Next Task**: Locate first unmarked `- [ ]` task
+3. **Execute TDD Cycle**: Red → Green → Refactor
+4. **Commit**: Following Tidy First principles
+5. **Mark Complete**: Update tasks.md
+
+## Execution Flow
+
+### Phase 0: Context Loading
+
+1. **Verify Prerequisites**:
+   - `CLAUDE.md` exists in project root (Kent Beck development guidelines)
+   - `specs/[feature]/tasks.md` exists (task checklist)
+   - Git working directory has no uncommitted changes in spec files (tasks.md, plan.md, spec.md)
+
+   **If missing**:
+   - ERROR: "CLAUDE.md not found. Run `/speckit.init-tdd` first."
+   - ERROR: "tasks.md not found. Run `/speckit.tasks` first."
+   - WARN: "Uncommitted changes detected in spec files. Consider committing before TDD cycle."
+
+2. **Read Context Files**:
+   ```bash
+   # Required files
+   CLAUDE.md                        # TDD methodology
+   memory/constitution.md           # Project principles
+   specs/[feature]/spec.md          # Feature requirements
+   specs/[feature]/plan.md          # Architecture
+   specs/[feature]/tasks.md         # Task checklist
+
+   # Optional files (if present)
+   specs/[feature]/data-model.md    # Data structures
+   specs/[feature]/contracts/       # API specs
+   ```
+
+3. **Extract Key Information**:
+   - Current feature name from branch/directory
+   - Tech stack from plan.md
+   - Test framework from plan.md (pytest, Jest, etc.)
+   - Code conventions from CLAUDE.md
+
+---
+
+### Phase 1: Find Next Task
+
+1. **Parse tasks.md**:
+   ```markdown
+   ## Phase 3: User Story 1 - User Registration
+
+   - [x] T012 [US1] Create User model in src/models/user.py
+   - [x] T013 [US1] Write User model tests in tests/test_user.py
+   - [ ] T014 [US1] Implement UserService in src/services/user_service.py  ← NEXT
+   - [ ] T015 [US1] Add user registration endpoint
+   ```
+
+2. **Identify Next Unmarked Task**:
+   - Scan for first `- [ ]` (unchecked checkbox)
+   - Extract task details:
+     - **Task ID**: T014
+     - **Story Label**: [US1]
+     - **Description**: "Implement UserService in src/services/user_service.py"
+     - **File Path**: `src/services/user_service.py`
+
+3. **Validate Task**:
+   - Task must have clear file path
+   - Task must be actionable (not vague)
+   - All prerequisite tasks (earlier in list) must be marked complete
+
+   **If validation fails**:
+   - ERROR: "Task T014 has no file path specified"
+   - ERROR: "Task T012 is not complete yet (prerequisite)"
+
+4. **Display to User**:
+   ```
+   📋 Next Task: T014 [US1]
+   📝 Description: Implement UserService in src/services/user_service.py
+   📁 File: src/services/user_service.py
+   🎯 User Story: US1 - User Registration
+
+   Starting TDD cycle...
+   ```
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: RED - Write Failing Test
+
+**CRITICAL**: Follow Test-Driven Development strictly. Test MUST be written first.
+
+1. **Determine Test File Location**:
+   - If task mentions "test" → use specified path
+   - If implementation file → infer test path from conventions:
+     - Python: `src/services/user_service.py` → `tests/test_user_service.py`
+     - TypeScript: `src/services/userService.ts` → `src/services/userService.test.ts`
+     - (Follow project conventions from CLAUDE.md)
+
+2. **Reference Spec for Behavior**:
+   - Find relevant user story in spec.md (use [US1] label)
+   - Extract acceptance criteria
+   - Identify testable behavior
+
+3. **Write Minimal Failing Test**:
+   - Test name describes behavior (not implementation)
+   - ✅ GOOD: `test_user_service_should_register_new_user()`
+   - ❌ BAD: `test_register()`, `test1()`
+
+   **Example**:
+   ```python
+   # tests/test_user_service.py
+   def test_user_service_should_register_new_user():
+       """User service should create new user with email and hashed password"""
+       service = UserService()
+       result = service.register_user(email="test@example.com", password="secret123")
+
+       assert result.email == "test@example.com"
+       assert result.password != "secret123"  # Should be hashed
+       assert len(result.password) > 20       # Hashed passwords are long
+   ```
+
+4. **Run Test - Confirm Failure**:
+   ```bash
+   # Python example
+   pytest tests/test_user_service.py::test_user_service_should_register_new_user -v
+
+   # Expected output: FAILED (ModuleNotFoundError or AttributeError)
+   ```
+
+5. **Verify Correct Failure**:
+   - Test fails for the RIGHT reason (missing implementation)
+   - Test does NOT fail due to syntax error or wrong imports
+   - Error message is clear about what's missing
+
+   **If wrong failure**:
+   - Fix test syntax/imports
+   - Re-run until failure is "implementation missing"
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: GREEN - Implement Minimum Code
+
+**CRITICAL**: Write ONLY enough code to make test pass. No more.
+
+1. **Create Implementation File** (if not exists):
+   ```python
+   # src/services/user_service.py
+   ```
+
+2. **Implement Minimum Logic**:
+   - Use "simplest solution that could possibly work"
+   - No premature abstractions
+   - No "we might need this later"
+   - Hardcode if necessary (refactor later)
+
+   **Example**:
+   ```python
+   # src/services/user_service.py
+   import hashlib
+   from models.user import User
+
+   class UserService:
+       def register_user(self, email: str, password: str) -> User:
+           # Hash password (simple implementation)
+           hashed = hashlib.sha256(password.encode()).hexdigest()
+
+           # Create user (minimum viable)
+           user = User(email=email, password=hashed)
+
+           return user
+   ```
+
+3. **Run Test Again**:
+   ```bash
+   pytest tests/test_user_service.py::test_user_service_should_register_new_user -v
+
+   # Expected: PASSED ✅
+   ```
+
+4. **Run ALL Tests**:
+   ```bash
+   pytest  # Run entire test suite
+
+   # Must be: All tests pass ✅
+   ```
+
+   **If any test fails**:
+   - STOP immediately
+   - Fix the regression
+   - Do NOT proceed to refactor
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: REFACTOR - Improve Structure (Optional)
+
+**Only execute if refactoring is needed. Skip if code is already clean.**
+
+1. **Identify Code Smells**:
+   - [ ] Duplication exists?
+   - [ ] Method too long (>20 lines)?
+   - [ ] Unclear naming?
+   - [ ] Hardcoded values should be constants?
+   - [ ] Logic should be extracted?
+
+   **If NO smells detected**: SKIP to Phase 5 (Commit)
+
+2. **Make ONE Refactoring at a Time**:
+
+   **Example - Extract hardcoded algorithm**:
+   ```python
+   # Before (hardcoded SHA256)
+   hashed = hashlib.sha256(password.encode()).hexdigest()
+
+   # After (extracted method)
+   def _hash_password(self, password: str) -> str:
+       return hashlib.sha256(password.encode()).hexdigest()
+
+   hashed = self._hash_password(password)
+   ```
+
+3. **Run ALL Tests After Each Refactoring**:
+   ```bash
+   pytest
+   # Must stay green ✅
+   ```
+
+4. **Repeat** until no more obvious improvements (max 3 refactorings per cycle)
+
+5. **Final Test Run**:
+   ```bash
+   pytest
+   # All tests must pass ✅
+   ```
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: COMMIT - Following Tidy First
+
+**CRITICAL**: Separate structural commits from behavioral commits.
+
+1. **Determine Commit Type**:
+
+   **Behavioral commit** (this cycle added NEW functionality):
+   ```bash
+   git add src/services/user_service.py tests/test_user_service.py
+   git commit -m "feat: add user registration to UserService
+
+   Implements task T014 for user story US1.
+   UserService.register_user() creates new users with hashed passwords.
+
+   🤖 Generated with Claude Code"
+   ```
+
+   **Structural commit** (if refactoring was done):
+   ```bash
+   # If you did refactoring, commit it SEPARATELY
+   git add src/services/user_service.py
+   git commit -m "refactor: extract password hashing to private method
+
+   Tidy First: moved SHA256 hashing logic to _hash_password() for clarity.
+   No behavior changed. All tests still pass.
+
+   🤖 Generated with Claude Code"
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify Commit**:
+   ```bash
+   git status
+   # Should be: nothing to commit, working tree clean
+
+   git log -1 --stat
+   # Verify files and commit message
+   ```
+
+---
+
+### Phase 6: Mark Task Complete
+
+1. **Update tasks.md**:
+   ```markdown
+   ## Phase 3: User Story 1 - User Registration
+
+   - [x] T012 [US1] Create User model in src/models/user.py
+   - [x] T013 [US1] Write User model tests in tests/test_user.py
+   - [x] T014 [US1] Implement UserService in src/services/user_service.py  ← COMPLETED
+   - [ ] T015 [US1] Add user registration endpoint
+   ```
+
+2. **Commit Task Update**:
+   ```bash
+   git add specs/[feature]/tasks.md
+   git commit -m "docs: mark task T014 as complete"
+   ```
+
+3. **Report to User**:
+   ```
+   ✅ Task T014 Complete
+
+   📝 Test: test_user_service_should_register_new_user()
+   ✅ Status: PASSED
+
+   📁 Files Changed:
+   - src/services/user_service.py (new)
+   - tests/test_user_service.py (new)
+
+   📊 Test Results:
+   - Total tests: 15
+   - Passed: 15 ✅
+   - Failed: 0
+
+   💾 Commits:
+   - feat: add user registration to UserService (abc1234)
+   - docs: mark task T014 as complete (def5678)
+
+   🎯 Next Task: T015 [US1] Add user registration endpoint
+
+   Ready for next cycle. Run `/speckit.go` again to continue.
+   ```
+

+
+## AI WARNING SIGNS - AUTO-DETECT
+
+During execution, automatically check for Kent Beck's warning signs:
+
+### 🚨 Detection 1: Repetition (Loops)
+
+**Trigger**: Similar code patterns generated 2+ times in this session
+
+**Example**:
+```python
+# RED FLAG: AI generated similar functions
+def get_user(): ...
+def fetch_user(): ...
+def retrieve_user(): ...
+```
+
+**Action**:
+1. STOP execution
+2. WARN user: "⚠️ AI Warning Sign: Repetition detected"
+3. Show duplicated patterns
+4. Ask: "Should we extract a common abstraction?"
+5. Wait for user confirmation before proceeding
+
+---
+
+### 🚨 Detection 2: Over-engineering
+
+**Trigger**: Implementation goes beyond test requirements
+
+**Example**:
+```python
+# Test only requires: register_user(email, password)
+# AI added: caching, metrics, logging, retry logic, circuit breaker
+# ❌ Over-engineering!
+```
+
+**Action**:
+1. STOP execution
+2. WARN user: "⚠️ AI Warning Sign: Unrequested features added"
+3. List added features not in test
+4. Ask: "Remove extra features and keep minimum?"
+5. Revert to minimal implementation
+
+---
+
+### 🚨 Detection 3: Test Manipulation
+
+**Trigger**: Test is modified to pass instead of fixing implementation
+
+**Example**:
+```python
+# Original test (failing)
+assert result == 15.5
+
+# AI changed to (passing)
+assert result is not None  # ❌ Weakened!
+```
+
+**Action**:
+1. STOP execution immediately
+2. ERROR: "❌ FATAL: Test manipulation detected"
+3. REVERT all changes
+4. Show original vs modified test
+5. Require manual intervention
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Common Errors
+
+**ERROR 1: No unmarked tasks**
+```
+All tasks in tasks.md are complete! ✅
+
+Next steps:
+- Review implementation against spec.md
+- Run full test suite: pytest
+- Create pull request: /speckit.pr
+```
+
+**ERROR 2: Test won't pass**
+```
+❌ Test failed after 3 attempts
+
+Test: test_user_service_should_register_new_user()
+Error: AssertionError: Expected hashed password length > 20, got 8
+
+Possible issues:
+1. Test expectations are wrong (review spec.md)
+2. Implementation has a bug (review code)
+3. Missing dependency or setup
+
+Action: Manual debugging required. Type 'continue' when ready.
+```
+
+**ERROR 3: Git conflicts**
+```
+❌ Cannot commit: merge conflicts detected
+
+Files with conflicts:
+- src/services/user_service.py
+
+Action: Resolve conflicts manually, then run /speckit.go again.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Guidelines for Success
+
+### Do's ✅
+
+- **Follow TDD strictly**: Test first, ALWAYS
+- **Keep cycles small**: 5-10 minutes per task
+- **Run tests frequently**: After every code change
+- **Commit often**: After each green cycle
+- **Read CLAUDE.md**: When uncertain about patterns
+- **Reference spec.md**: To understand behavior
+- **Ask user**: When ambiguous requirements
+
+### Don'ts ❌
+
+- **Never skip RED phase**: Always write failing test first
+- **Never commit failing tests**: Only commit when green
+- **Never mix commits**: Structural ≠ Behavioral
+- **Never over-implement**: Just enough to pass test
+- **Never modify test to pass**: Fix implementation instead
+- **Never ignore warnings**: AI warning signs are serious

+description: Initialize Kent Beck TDD workflow by creating CLAUDE.md from template
+---
+
+## User Input
+
+```text
+$ARGUMENTS
+```
+
+You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
+
+## Outline
+
+This command sets up **Kent Beck's Test-Driven Development workflow** in your project by creating a customized `CLAUDE.md` file based on your project's constitution, plan, and tech stack.
+
+1. **Check Prerequisites**: Verify constitution.md and plan.md exist
+2. **Load Template**: Read kent-beck-claude-template.md
+3. **Customize**: Auto-populate project-specific sections
+4. **Create CLAUDE.md**: Write to project root
+5. **Report**: Confirm setup complete
+
+## Execution Flow
+
+### Phase 1: Prerequisites Check
+
+1. **Verify Required Files**:
+   ```bash
+   # Must exist:
+   memory/constitution.md           # Project principles
+   specs/[feature]/plan.md          # Implementation plan
+
+   # Nice to have:
+   specs/[feature]/spec.md          # Feature requirements
+   specs/[feature]/tasks.md         # Task checklist
+   ```
+
+2. **Check Git Status**:
+   - Repository must be initialized (`git init` already run)
+   - Working directory should be clean (warn if not)
+
+3. **Detect Current Feature** (in priority order):
+   1. From git branch name (e.g., `001-user-auth`) - **checked first**
+   2. From environment variable `SPECIFY_FEATURE` - **fallback**
+   3. ERROR if cannot detect feature context from either method
+
+### Phase 2: Load Context
+
+1. **Read Constitution**:
+   ```markdown
+   From memory/constitution.md:
+   - Extract project name
+   - Extract core principles (§I, §II, etc.)
+   - Extract non-functional requirements (latency, uptime, etc.)
+   ```
+
+2. **Read Plan**:
+   ```markdown
+   From specs/[feature]/plan.md:
+   - Extract tech stack (languages, frameworks)
+   - Extract architecture patterns
+   - Extract testing frameworks
+   - Extract code conventions
+   ```
+
+3. **Read Spec** (if exists):
+   ```markdown
+   From specs/[feature]/spec.md:
+   - Extract feature name
+   - Extract user stories for context
+   ```
+
+### Phase 3: Customize Template
+
+1. **Load Base Template**:
+   ```bash
+   Read: templates/kent-beck-claude-template.md
+   ```
+
+2. **Replace Placeholders**:
+
+   **[PROJECT NAME]** → From constitution or git repo name
+   ```markdown
+   # MyProject - Development Guidelines (Kent Beck TDD)
+   ```
+
+   **[AUTO-GENERATED DATE]** → Current date
+   ```markdown
+   **Last Updated**: 2025-11-12
+   ```
+
+   **[AUTO-DETECTED FROM BRANCH]** → Current feature
+   ```markdown
+   **Current Feature**: 001-user-auth (User Authentication System)
+   ```
+
+   **[AUTO-POPULATED FROM plan.md]** → Tech stack section
+   ```markdown
+   ### Tech Stack
+
+   **Languages**: Python 3.11+, TypeScript 5.0+
+   **Frameworks**: FastAPI, React
+   **Databases**: PostgreSQL 15, Redis 7
+   **Testing**: pytest, pytest-asyncio, Jest
+   ```
+
+   **[AUTO-POPULATED FROM plan.md]** → Architecture patterns
+   ```markdown
+   ### Architecture Patterns
+
+   **Design Patterns**: Repository pattern, Dependency Injection
+   **API Style**: REST with OpenAPI 3.0
+   **Data Format**: JSON (API), GeoJSON (spatial data)
+   ```
+
+   **[AUTO-POPULATED FROM constitution.md]** → Performance requirements
+   ```markdown
+   ### Performance Requirements
+
+   **Latency**: p95 < 500ms (from §I. Real-Time Performance)
+   **Throughput**: 1000 req/sec (from §I. Real-Time Performance)
+   **Availability**: 99.9% uptime (from §II. Reliability)
+   ```
+
+   **[e.g., Black for Python, Prettier for TypeScript]** → Code conventions
+   ```markdown
+   ### Code Conventions
+
+   **Python**:
+   - Formatting: Black (line length 88, default)
+   - Linting: Pylint, mypy strict mode
+   - Type hints: Required for all functions
+
+   **TypeScript**:
+   - Formatting: Prettier
+   - Linting: ESLint with Airbnb config
+   - Strict mode: Enabled
+   ```
+
+3. **Preserve Manual Additions Section**:
+   ```markdown
+   <!-- MANUAL ADDITIONS START -->
+   <!-- User can add custom notes here -->
+   <!-- MANUAL ADDITIONS END -->
+   ```
+
+### Phase 4: Create CLAUDE.md
+
+1. **Write to Project Root**:
+   ```bash
+   # Create file
+   ./CLAUDE.md
+
+   # File structure:
+   # - Header (project name, date, feature)
+   # - Kent Beck TDD principles
+   # - Project-specific config (auto-populated)
+   # - AI warning signs
+   # - Integration with Speckit
+   ```
+
+2. **Set File Permissions**:
+   ```bash
+   chmod 644 CLAUDE.md
+   # Read/write for owner, read for others
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify Creation**:
+   ```bash
+   # Check file exists
+   test -f CLAUDE.md
+
+   # Check file size (should be >10KB)
+   # Check all placeholders replaced
+   ```
+
+### Phase 5: Optional Git Commit
+
+1. **Ask User**:
+   ```
+   ✅ CLAUDE.md created successfully!
+
+   Commit this file to git? (y/n)
+   ```
+
+2. **If Yes**:
+   ```bash
+   git add CLAUDE.md
+   git commit -m "docs: initialize Kent Beck TDD workflow
+
+   Added CLAUDE.md with project-specific TDD guidelines.
+   Auto-populated from constitution.md and plan.md.
+
+   🤖 Generated with Claude Code"
+   ```
+
+### Phase 6: Report Success
+
+```markdown
+✅ Kent Beck TDD Workflow Initialized
+
+📁 Created: CLAUDE.md (12.5 KB)
+
+📋 Configuration:
+- Project: MyProject
+- Current Feature: 001-user-auth
+- Tech Stack: Python 3.11+, FastAPI, PostgreSQL
+- Test Framework: pytest
+
+🎯 Next Steps:
+
+1. Review CLAUDE.md and customize if needed
+2. Generate tasks: /speckit.tasks
+3. Start TDD cycle: /speckit.go
+
+📖 Quick Start:
+
+```bash
+# Implement next task with TDD
+/speckit.go
+
+# AI will:
+# 1. Find next unmarked task
+# 2. Write failing test (RED)
+# 3. Implement minimum code (GREEN)
+# 4. Refactor if needed
+# 5. Commit following Tidy First
+# 6. Mark task complete
+```
+
+---
+
+**Kent Beck TDD Principles Active** ✅
+- Test-Driven Development (Red-Green-Refactor)
+- Tidy First (Structural ≠ Behavioral commits)
+- AI Warning Signs Detection
+- Constitution Compliance
+```
+
+---
+
+## Customization Options
+
+### Option 1: Minimal Setup (Quick Start)
+
+```bash
+/speckit.init-tdd
+# Uses defaults from constitution.md and plan.md
+# Takes 5 seconds
+```
+
+### Option 2: Interactive Setup
+
+```bash
+/speckit.init-tdd --interactive
+# Asks questions:
+# - Test framework? (pytest/Jest/RSpec)
+# - Code formatter? (Black/Prettier/Rustfmt)
+# - Linter? (Pylint/ESLint/Clippy)
+# - Git hooks? (yes/no)
+# Takes 2-3 minutes
+```
+
+### Option 3: From Existing CLAUDE.md
+
+```bash
+/speckit.init-tdd --from-existing
+# If CLAUDE.md already exists
+# Merge Speckit conventions into existing file
+# Preserve user customizations
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### ERROR 1: Missing Prerequisites
+
+```
+❌ Cannot initialize TDD workflow
+
+Missing required files:
+- memory/constitution.md (run /speckit.constitution first)
+- specs/[feature]/plan.md (run /speckit.plan first)
+
+Action: Complete Speckit workflow before enabling TDD.
+```
+
+### ERROR 2: CLAUDE.md Already Exists
+
+```
+⚠️ CLAUDE.md already exists (5.2 KB)
+
+Options:
+1. Backup and replace with Speckit version
+2. Merge Speckit conventions into existing file
+3. Cancel initialization
+
+Your choice (1/2/3):
+```
+
+If user chooses "2" (merge):
+```bash
+# Backup existing
+mv CLAUDE.md CLAUDE.md.backup
+
+# Create merged version
+# - Keep user's custom sections
+# - Add Speckit TDD sections
+# - Add AI warning signs
+# - Add integration workflow
+
+✅ Merged: CLAUDE.md (15.3 KB)
+📁 Backup: CLAUDE.md.backup
+```
+
+### ERROR 3: Cannot Detect Feature
+
+```
+❌ Cannot detect current feature context
+
+Tried:
+- Git branch name (on 'main', not a feature branch)
+- SPECIFY_FEATURE env var (not set)
+
+Action: Checkout a feature branch first:
+git checkout -b 001-my-feature
+
+Or set environment variable:
+export SPECIFY_FEATURE=001-my-feature
+```
+
+---
+
+## Integration with Speckit Workflow
+
+### Full Workflow Sequence
+
+```
+1. /speckit.constitution     → Define project principles
+2. /speckit.specify          → Create feature spec
+3. /speckit.plan             → Create implementation plan
+4. /speckit.tasks            → Generate task breakdown
+5. /speckit.init-tdd         → Enable Kent Beck TDD ← YOU ARE HERE
+6. /speckit.go               → Implement task 1 (TDD)
+7. /speckit.go               → Implement task 2 (TDD)
+8. /speckit.go               → Implement task N (TDD)
+9. All tasks complete!
+```
+
+### When to Use
+
+**Use `/speckit.init-tdd` when**:
+- ✅ Starting a new project with TDD
+- ✅ Want strict test-driven development
+- ✅ Need AI warning sign detection
+- ✅ Team wants Kent Beck's methodology
+
+**Skip `/speckit.init-tdd` when**:
+- ❌ Already have existing test culture
+- ❌ Not using TDD (just implementation)
+- ❌ Project is throw-away prototype
+
+---
+
+## Advanced: Custom Template
+
+If you want to customize the Kent Beck template:
+
+1. **Copy template**:
+   ```bash
+   cp templates/kent-beck-claude-template.md my-template.md
+   ```
+
+2. **Edit sections**:
+   ```markdown
+   # Add your team's specific rules
+   # Modify AI warning thresholds
+   # Add custom refactoring patterns
+   ```
+
+3. **Use custom template**:
+   ```bash
+   /speckit.init-tdd --template=my-template.md
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Git Hooks Integration (Optional)
+
+During initialization, you can enable git hooks for TDD enforcement:
+
+```bash
+/speckit.init-tdd --with-hooks
+```
+
+This creates:
+
+**.git/hooks/pre-commit**:
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Kent Beck TDD Pre-Commit Hook
+
+# 1. All tests must pass
+pytest
+if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
+    echo "❌ Tests failed - commit blocked"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+# 2. Check commit message format
+# Must be: "feat:", "refactor:", "test:", "fix:", etc.
+COMMIT_MSG=$(cat $1)
+if ! echo "$COMMIT_MSG" | grep -qE "^(feat|refactor|test|fix|docs):"; then
+    echo "❌ Invalid commit message format"
+    echo "Required: feat:|refactor:|test:|fix:|docs:"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+# 3. Detect structural vs behavioral
+if echo "$COMMIT_MSG" | grep -q "^refactor:"; then
+    # Must have "Tidy First" or "No behavior changed"
+    if ! echo "$COMMIT_MSG" | grep -qE "(Tidy First|No behavior changed)"; then
+        echo "⚠️ Refactor commit should mention 'Tidy First'"
+    fi
+fi
+
+echo "✅ Pre-commit checks passed"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+After running `/speckit.init-tdd`, verify:
+
+- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` exists in project root
+- [ ] File size >10KB (fully populated)
+- [ ] Project name is correct (not "[PROJECT NAME]")
+- [ ] Tech stack matches plan.md
+- [ ] Performance requirements from constitution.md
+- [ ] Manual additions section preserved
+- [ ] `/speckit.go` command works (try it)
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- This command is idempotent (safe to run multiple times)
+- Updates existing CLAUDE.md with new project context
+- Preserves user customizations in manual sections
+- Auto-detects changes in plan.md and re-populates
+- Compatible with all Speckit commands
+- Follows spec-kit conventions and philosophy

+
+## How to Use This File
+
+This file follows **Kent Beck's Test-Driven Development (TDD)** methodology. When implementing features:
+
+1. **Read the plan**: Check `specs/[feature]/plan.md` for architecture and design decisions
+2. **Find next test**: Look for the next unmarked test in `specs/[feature]/tasks.md`
+3. **Say "go"**: Use `/speckit.go` command to start TDD cycle
+4. **Follow the cycle**: Red → Green → Refactor → Commit

+
+## ROLE AND EXPERTISE
+
+You are a senior software engineer who follows Kent Beck's Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Tidy First principles. Your purpose is to guide development following these methodologies precisely.
+
+---
+
+## CORE DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES
+
+### The TDD Cycle
+
+**ALWAYS follow this cycle - no exceptions:**
+
+1. **RED**: Write a failing test that defines a small increment of functionality
+2. **GREEN**: Implement the minimum code needed to make tests pass
+3. **REFACTOR**: Improve structure only after tests are passing
+4. **COMMIT**: Only when all tests pass and linter is clean
+
+### Tidy First Approach
+
+**Separate all changes into two distinct types:**
+
+1. **STRUCTURAL CHANGES**: Rearranging code without changing behavior
+   - Renaming variables, functions, classes
+   - Extracting methods or modules
+   - Moving code to different files
+   - Reformatting or reorganizing
+
+2. **BEHAVIORAL CHANGES**: Adding or modifying functionality
+   - New features
+   - Bug fixes
+   - Algorithm changes
+   - Business logic modifications
+
+**NEVER mix structural and behavioral changes in the same commit.**
+
+**ALWAYS make structural changes first when both are needed.**
+
+---
+
+## TDD METHODOLOGY GUIDANCE
+
+### Writing Tests
+
+- Start by writing a failing test that defines a small increment of functionality
+- Use meaningful test names that describe behavior:
+  - ✅ GOOD: `test_should_calculate_total_price_with_tax()`
+  - ❌ BAD: `test_price()`, `test1()`
+- Make test failures clear and informative
+- Write just enough code to make the test pass - no more
+- Once tests pass, consider if refactoring is needed
+- Repeat the cycle for new functionality
+
+### Fixing Defects
+
+When fixing a bug:
+
+1. **First**: Write an API-level failing test that demonstrates the bug
+2. **Second**: Write the smallest possible test that replicates the problem
+3. **Third**: Get both tests to pass with minimal code changes
+4. **Finally**: Refactor if needed (structural changes only)
+
+---
+
+## COMMIT DISCIPLINE
+
+### Only Commit When
+
+- [x] **ALL tests are passing** (no exceptions)
+- [x] **ALL compiler/linter warnings resolved** (zero warnings)
+- [x] **Single logical unit of work** (one thing changed)
+- [x] **Clear commit message** stating structural or behavioral change
+
+### Commit Message Format
+
+**Structural commits**:
+```
+refactor: extract price calculation to separate method
+
+Tidy First: moved calculation logic from OrderService to PriceCalculator
+for better separation of concerns. No behavior changed.
+```
+
+**Behavioral commits**:
+```
+feat: add tax calculation for orders
+
+Implements user story US-003. Calculates sales tax based on
+order total and customer location.
+```
+
+### Use Small, Frequent Commits
+
+- ✅ GOOD: 10-20 commits per feature
+- ❌ BAD: 1 massive commit at the end
+
+---
+
+## CODE QUALITY STANDARDS
+
+### The Simple Design Rules
+
+1. **Eliminate duplication ruthlessly**
+   - If you see similar code twice, extract it
+   - DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) is non-negotiable
+
+2. **Express intent clearly**
+   - Names should reveal intention
+   - Code should read like prose
+   - Comments explain "why", not "what"
+
+3. **Make dependencies explicit**
+   - No hidden global state
+   - Constructor injection for dependencies
+   - Explicit parameter passing
+
+4. **Keep methods small and focused**
+   - One responsibility per method
+   - 5-15 lines is ideal
+   - If it does "and", it's too big
+
+5. **Minimize state and side effects**
+   - Pure functions when possible
+   - Clear input → output relationships
+   - Avoid mutable global state
+
+6. **Use the simplest solution that could possibly work**
+   - No premature optimization
+   - No "we might need this later"
+   - YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It)
+
+---
+
+## REFACTORING GUIDELINES
+
+### When to Refactor
+
+- **Only when tests are passing** (Green phase)
+- **After adding new functionality**
+- **When you notice code smells**:
+  - Duplication
+  - Long methods (>20 lines)
+  - Large classes (>200 lines)
+  - Long parameter lists (>3 parameters)
+  - Divergent change (one class changes for multiple reasons)
+
+### How to Refactor
+
+1. **Make one refactoring change at a time**
+   - Extract method
+   - Rename variable
+   - Move function
+   - (One thing only)
+
+2. **Run tests after each step**
+   - Tests should stay green
+   - If tests fail, revert immediately
+
+3. **Use established refactoring patterns**
+   - Extract Method
+   - Inline Method
+   - Extract Variable
+   - Rename Method/Variable
+   - Move Method/Class
+   - (See Fowler's "Refactoring" catalog)
+
+4. **Prioritize refactorings**
+   - Duplication removal first
+   - Clarity improvements second
+   - Performance optimizations last (only if measured)
+

+
+## AI WARNING SIGNS - STOP IMMEDIATELY
+
+### 🚨 Warning Sign 1: Loops (Repetition)
+
+**Detection**: AI generates similar code patterns 2+ times
+
+**Example**:
+```python
+# ❌ BAD: AI created 3 similar functions
+def get_user_data(): ...
+def fetch_user_data(): ...
+def retrieve_user_data(): ...
+```
+
+**Action**: STOP. Ask "How can we eliminate this with ONE abstraction?"
+
+**Prevention**: Follow DRY principle ruthlessly
+
+---
+
+### 🚨 Warning Sign 2: Unrequested Features (Over-engineering)
+
+**Detection**: AI implements functionality beyond current spec.md/tasks.md
+
+**Example**:
+```python
+# spec.md said: "Store user preferences"
+# AI added: caching, expiration, validation, notifications, metrics
+# ❌ Over-engineering!
+```
+
+**Action**: STOP. Return to spec.md scope. Add features ONE task at a time.
+
+**Prevention**:
+- Reference spec.md before every implementation
+- Implement ONLY what current test requires
+- Use "simplest solution that could possibly work"
+
+---
+
+### 🚨 Warning Sign 3: Test Cheating (Test Manipulation)
+
+**Detection**: AI disables, deletes, or weakens tests to make them pass
+
+**Example**:
+```python
+# ❌ BAD: AI commented out failing assertion
+def test_calculate_total():
+    result = calculate_total(...)
+    # assert result == 15.5  # AI commented this out
+    assert result is not None  # Weakened to pass!
+```
+
+**Action**: STOP. REVERT immediately. Fix implementation, not tests.
+
+**Prevention**:
+- Tests are sacred - never modify to pass
+- If test is wrong, discuss with team first
+- Failed test = implementation bug (99% of time)
+
+---
+
+## EXAMPLE WORKFLOW
+
+### Starting a New Feature (use `/speckit.go`)
+
+1. **Read current context**:
+   - Constitution: `memory/constitution.md`
+   - Feature spec: `specs/[feature]/spec.md`
+   - Implementation plan: `specs/[feature]/plan.md`
+   - Task list: `specs/[feature]/tasks.md`
+
+2. **Find next unmarked task**:
+   ```markdown
+   - [ ] T012 [US1] Create User model in src/models/user.py
+   ```
+
+3. **Write failing test** (RED):
+   ```python
+   def test_user_model_should_have_email():
+       user = User(email="test@example.com")
+       assert user.email == "test@example.com"
+   ```
+
+4. **Run test** - confirm it fails:
+   ```bash
+   pytest tests/test_user.py::test_user_model_should_have_email
+   # FAILED: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'models'
+   ```
+
+5. **Implement minimum code** (GREEN):
+   ```python
+   # src/models/user.py
+   class User:
+       def __init__(self, email):
+           self.email = email
+   ```
+
+6. **Run test** - confirm it passes:
+   ```bash
+   pytest tests/test_user.py::test_user_model_should_have_email
+   # PASSED
+   ```
+
+7. **Refactor if needed** (REFACTOR):
+   ```python
+   # No duplication yet, no refactoring needed
+   ```
+
+8. **Run ALL tests**:
+   ```bash
+   pytest
+   # All passed ✅
+   ```
+
+9. **Commit**:
+   ```bash
+   git add src/models/user.py tests/test_user.py
+   git commit -m "feat: add User model with email field
+
+   Implements task T012 for user story US1.
+   Added basic User class with email attribute.
+
+   🤖 Generated with Claude Code"
+   ```
+
+10. **Mark task complete**:
+    ```markdown
+    - [x] T012 [US1] Create User model in src/models/user.py
+    ```
+
+11. **Repeat** for next task
