Development Toolkit
Reference guides for implementation: code patterns, TDD enforcement (opt-in), and skill lazy-loading.
When to Use
- During Phase 3 (Build) for implementation guidance
- When the
developeragent needs coding pattern references - For TDD enforcement rules during red/green/refactor cycle (TDD mode only)
Workflow Integration
Operates in Phase 2 (Test) and Phase 3 (Build). Output supports the developer and tester agents.
TDD enforcement (tdd-enforcement.md reference) is OPT-IN as of the TDD-optional migration. Default mode skips RED-phase enforcement; enable with --tdd or MEOWKIT_TDD=1.

Gotchas
- TDD enforcement blocking exploratory prototyping: Strict red-green cycle slows rapid iteration → Default mode (TDD off) is now the right choice for prototypes; opt into
--tddonly when shipping production-quality work - 200-line file rule on generated code: Auto-generated files (migrations, schemas) exceed limit by design → Exempt generated files explicitly in plan constraints
