RED — Write Failing Test\n- Write a test for the desired behavior\n- The test MUST fail — if it passes, the test is wrong\n- Do NOT write any implementation code yet\n- Verify failure: run the test suite\n\n### 2. GREEN — Minimal Implementation\n- Write the MINIMUM code to make the failing test pass\n- Do not add features beyond what the test requires\n- Do not refactor yet\n- Verify: run the test suite — all tests pass\n\n### 3. REFACTOR — Clean Up\n- Improve code quality while keeping tests green\n- Extract functions, reduce duplication, clarify names\n- Run tests after each change to ensure nothing breaks\n\n## Rules\n- NEVER write tests and implementation in the same step\n- Test names describe behavior, not implementation\n- One assertion per test when practical\n- Run the full test suite after each phase"
