PROCESS

执行流程

Step 1: Read Prior Artifacts

步骤1:阅读前置工件

Read the domain model invariants FIRST (
./docs/domain-model.md
, § Invariants). These are the constitutional authority — the highest-precedence statements in the entire artifact set. Then read:
  • Behavior scenarios (
    ./docs/scenarios.md
    ) — your acceptance criteria
  • ADRs (
    ./docs/decisions/
    ) — your architectural constraints
  • Existing project code — understand what's already there before writing anything
If you encounter any document or code that contradicts an invariant, flag it to the user — do not follow the contradicting document's guidance.
Read before writing. Always.
首先阅读领域模型的不变量(
./docs/domain-model.md
,§ 不变量章节)。这些是最高优先级的规则——是所有工件集中最具权威性的声明。然后阅读:
  • 行为场景(
    ./docs/scenarios.md
    )——你的验收标准
  • ADR(
    ./docs/decisions/
    )——你的架构约束
  • 现有项目代码——在编写任何代码前先理解已有内容
如果遇到与不变量矛盾的文档或代码,立即向用户标记——不要遵循该矛盾文档的指导。
先读再写,始终如此。

Step 2: Outer Loop — One Scenario at a Time

步骤2:外循环——一次处理一个场景

For each behavior scenario, in order:
  1. Write a failing acceptance test from the scenario's Given/When/Then
  2. TDD inner loop — red/green/refactor until the acceptance test passes
  3. Verify — run the full test suite
  4. Present to user — show what was built, which scenario it satisfies
  5. User approves — then next scenario
Do not work ahead. One scenario at a time.
按顺序处理每个行为场景:
  1. 编写失败的验收测试——基于场景的Given/When/Then
  2. TDD内循环——红/绿/重构,直到验收测试通过
  3. 验证——运行完整测试套件
  4. 向用户展示——说明构建的内容以及对应的场景
  5. 用户批准——然后处理下一个场景
不要提前工作。一次只处理一个场景。

Step 3: Inner Loop — TDD

步骤3:内循环——TDD

For each piece of implementation needed to make the acceptance test pass:
Red:    Write a small, focused unit test that fails
Green:  Write the simplest code that makes it pass
Refactor: Tidy the code while all tests remain green
Repeat until the outer acceptance test passes.
针对使验收测试通过所需的每一部分实现:
红:    编写一个小型、聚焦的单元测试,确保它失败
绿:    编写最简单的代码使测试通过
重构: 在所有测试保持通过的前提下整理代码
重复此过程,直到外部验收测试通过。

Step 4: Verify and Present

步骤4:验证与展示

After each scenario:
  • Run the full test suite
  • Show the user which scenario is now satisfied
  • Show what code was written or changed
  • Ask whether to proceed to the next scenario

完成每个场景后:
  • 运行完整测试套件
  • 向用户展示当前已实现的场景
  • 展示编写或修改的代码
  • 询问是否继续处理下一个场景

STRUCTURE VS. BEHAVIOR

结构与行为的区分

There are two kinds of changes. Always be making one kind or the other, but never both at the same time.
KindNatureRiskCommit prefix
StructureHow code is organized (rename, extract, inline, move)Low — reversible
refactor:
BehaviorWhat code computes (new feature, bug fix)Higher — effects in the world
feat:
or
fix:
In practice:
  • The "green" step is a behavior change — commit it as
    feat:
    or
    fix:
  • The "refactor" step is a structure change — commit it as
    refactor:
  • Never mix them in one commit
  • Structure-only commits should be trivially reviewable

有两种类型的修改。每次只能进行其中一种,绝不能同时进行。
类型特性风险提交前缀
结构代码的组织方式(重命名、提取、内联、移动)低——可逆
refactor:
行为代码的计算逻辑(新功能、Bug修复)高——会对实际运行产生影响
feat:
fix:
实践要求:
  • “绿”步骤属于行为修改——提交时使用
    feat:
    fix:
    前缀
  • “重构”步骤属于结构修改——提交时使用
    refactor:
    前缀
  • 绝不要在一次提交中混合两种修改
  • 仅涉及结构的提交应易于评审

TIDYING: MAKE THE CHANGE EASY, THEN MAKE THE EASY CHANGE

代码整洁:先让修改变简单,再完成简单的修改

Before implementing a scenario, ask: "What about the current code makes this scenario harder to implement? What can I tidy to make it easier?"
Also ask: "Does any existing code contradict the ADRs this scenario implements?" ADR conformance is architectural tidying — resolve contradictions as
refactor:
commits BEFORE implementing the scenario as a
feat:
commit. This preserves structure-vs-behavior separation.
If tidying would reduce total effort, tidy first — as a separate commit. If not, proceed directly.
在实现场景前,问自己:“当前代码的哪些部分让这个场景难以实现?我可以整理哪些内容来简化实现?”
同时问:“现有代码是否与该场景对应的ADR存在矛盾?” 符合ADR要求属于架构层面的整洁——在以
feat:
提交实现场景前,先以
refactor:
提交解决矛盾。这样可以保持结构与行为的分离。
如果整理能减少总工作量,就先整理——作为单独的提交。否则直接开始实现。

The Tidyings

可执行的整洁操作

Small structural improvements, minutes not hours:
  • Guard clauses — exit early, reduce nesting
  • Dead code — remove it entirely
  • Normalize symmetries — same logic, same expression
  • Explaining variables — name complex subexpressions
  • Explaining constants — replace magic numbers
  • Chunk statements — blank lines between logical blocks
  • Reading order — arrange for human comprehension
  • Cohesion order — group elements that change together
  • Move declaration and initialization together — keep setup adjacent to usage
  • Extract helper — create abstractions when vocabulary expands (not before)
  • One pile — when confused, inline everything into one place first, then separate cleanly
Stop tidying when the change becomes easy. More than an hour of tidying before a behavior change likely means lost focus.
小型的结构改进,耗时以分钟计而非小时:
  • 卫语句——提前退出,减少嵌套
  • 死代码——完全移除
  • 统一对称逻辑——相同逻辑采用相同表达方式
  • 解释性变量——为复杂子表达式命名
  • 解释性常量——替换魔法数字
  • 代码分块——逻辑块之间添加空行
  • 阅读顺序——按人类理解的顺序排列
  • 内聚性排序——将一起变更的元素分组
  • 声明与初始化放在一起——将设置代码与使用代码相邻
  • 提取辅助函数——当领域词汇扩展时创建抽象(不要提前)
  • 先合并再拆分——当困惑时,先将所有内容内联到一个地方,再清晰分离
当修改变得简单时就停止整理。 在行为修改前花费超过一小时整理可能意味着注意力分散。

The Exhale-Inhale Rhythm

呼吸式节奏

Every feature consumes flexibility. Tidying restores it.
  • Exhale — implement the scenario (behavior change, move right)
  • Inhale — tidy the code (structure change, restore options)
Alternate. This prevents the slow decline where each feature is harder than the last.

每个功能都会消耗灵活性。整理可以恢复灵活性。
  • 呼气——实现场景(行为修改,向前推进)
  • 吸气——整理代码(结构修改,恢复可选方案)
交替进行。这可以避免每次功能实现都比上一次更困难的缓慢衰退。

COMPOSABLE TESTS

可组合测试

Optimize the test suite, not individual tests.
优化整个测试套件,而非单个测试。

The N x M Problem

N×M问题

For orthogonal dimensions — say 4 computation methods x 5 output formats — don't write 20 tests. Write N + M + 1:
  • N tests for one dimension (holding the other constant)
  • M tests for the other dimension (holding the first constant)
  • 1 integration test proving correct wiring
对于正交维度——比如4种计算方法×5种输出格式——不要编写20个测试。编写N+M+1个:
  • N个测试针对一个维度(保持另一个维度不变)
  • M个测试针对另一个维度(保持第一个维度不变)
  • 1个集成测试验证 wiring 正确

Test Pruning

测试精简

When test2 cannot pass if test1 fails, they share redundant coverage. Simplify test2 — remove the shared setup and assertions. The composed suite maintains predictive power with less repetition.
如果test1失败时test2必然无法通过,说明它们存在冗余覆盖。简化test2——移除共享的设置和断言。组合后的测试套件在减少重复的同时保持预测能力。

Test Principles

测试原则

  • Each test earns its place — if removing it wouldn't reduce confidence, remove it
  • Tests compose for confidence — a test that looks "incomplete" in isolation may be sufficient when composed with others
  • Acceptance tests are the outer ring — they verify scenarios. Unit tests verify implementation. Don't duplicate assertions across rings.

  • 每个测试都要有存在的价值——如果移除它不会降低信心,就删除它
  • 测试通过组合提升信心——孤立看“不完整”的测试,组合后可能已足够
  • 验收测试是外层环——它们验证场景。单元测试验证实现。不要在不同环之间重复断言。

DOMAIN VOCABULARY IN CODE

代码中的领域词汇

The domain model is your naming authority. Enforce it:
  • Class/type names match glossary concepts
  • Method/function names match glossary actions
  • Variable names use glossary terms, not synonyms
  • Test names read as domain sentences using glossary vocabulary
If you need a name not in the glossary, the domain model needs updating first. Flag it to the user rather than inventing terms.

领域模型是命名的权威来源。严格遵循:
  • 类/类型名称与术语表概念匹配
  • 方法/函数名称与术语表动作匹配
  • 变量名称使用术语表术语,而非同义词
  • 测试名称使用术语表词汇组成领域语句
如果需要术语表中没有的名称,首先需要更新领域模型。向用户标记该问题,而非自行创造术语。

SMALL, SAFE STEPS

小型、安全的步骤

Most software design decisions are easily reversible. Therefore:
  • Don't over-invest in avoiding mistakes — start moving and correct course
  • One element at a time — no sudden moves
  • Each change should be obviously correct in isolation
  • If a step feels too big, decompose it further
The expert pattern: break big problems into smaller problems where the interactions are also simple.

大多数软件设计决策都是易于逆转的。因此:
  • 不要过度投入避免错误——先行动再调整方向
  • 一次处理一个元素——不要突然大幅改动
  • 每个修改在孤立状态下都应明显正确
  • 如果一个步骤感觉太大,进一步拆分它
专家模式: 将大问题拆分为更小的问题,且这些小问题之间的交互也很简单。

WHEN BUILDING REVEALS FLAWS

构建过程中发现缺陷时

If implementation reveals that:
  • A scenario is ambiguous — stop and clarify with the user before continuing
  • A decision was wrong — flag it. The user may need to go back to
    /rdd-decide
    and update the ADR
  • A concept is missing from the domain model — flag it. The glossary needs updating via
    /rdd-model
  • An assumption from research was incorrect — flag it. The user may need to revisit
    /rdd-research
  • A document contradicts current invariants — flag it. The document needs a supersession note. Do NOT follow the document's guidance if it contradicts an invariant. This is the most insidious failure mode: old documents re-propagating dead ideas into new code.
Building is the ultimate test of understanding. Discovering flaws here is expected, not a failure.

如果在实现过程中发现:
  • 场景存在歧义——停止并与用户澄清后再继续
  • 之前的决策错误——标记该问题。用户可能需要回到
    /rdd-decide
    环节更新ADR
  • 领域模型缺少概念——标记该问题。需要通过
    /rdd-model
    环节更新术语表
  • 研究阶段的假设错误——标记该问题。用户可能需要重新审视
    /rdd-research
    环节
  • 文档与当前不变量矛盾——标记该问题。文档需要添加废止说明。如果文档与不变量矛盾,绝对不要遵循其指导。这是最隐蔽的失败模式:旧文档将过时想法重新引入新代码。
构建是对理解程度的终极测试。在此发现缺陷是预期的,而非失败。

IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES

重要原则

  • Read before writing: Never modify code you haven't read. Understand existing structure first.
  • One kind of change at a time: Structure OR behavior, never both in the same commit.
  • Make the change easy, then make the easy change: Preparatory tidying is not gold-plating — it's the fastest path when structure blocks progress.
  • Verify before moving on: Run tests after every change. If you haven't seen it run, it's not working.
  • Match existing patterns: Follow the codebase's conventions. Don't introduce new ones.
  • Minimize coupling: Changes should stay local. If a change ripples across the codebase, the structure needs tidying.
  • Stop when it's easy: Tidy enough to enable the scenario, no more. Resist the urge to clean the whole codebase.
  • 先读再写:永远不要修改未阅读过的代码。先理解现有结构。
  • 一次只做一种修改:要么改结构,要么改行为,绝不能在同一次提交中同时进行。
  • 先让修改变简单,再完成简单的修改:前置的代码整洁不是镀金——当结构阻碍进展时,这是最快的路径。
  • 验证后再推进:每次修改后运行测试。如果没看到测试通过,就不算完成。
  • 匹配现有模式:遵循代码库的约定。不要引入新约定。
  • 最小化耦合:修改应保持局部性。如果修改影响到整个代码库,说明结构需要整理。
  • 当修改变简单时停止:整理到足以实现场景即可,不要过度。抵制清理整个代码库的冲动。
