The SPARC methodology provides a comprehensive, multi-agent development framework with 17 specialized modes for systematic software creation. It guides developers through Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, and Completion phases, integrating TDD and orchestration patterns. Use this skill when you need structured, end-to-end development workflow from initial research through deployment.

The SPARC methodology skill provides a systematic, multi-agent framework for comprehensive software development. It guides developers through 17 specialized modes covering all phases from specification and architecture to refinement and completion. Use this skill when you need structured development workflows with integrated testing, orchestration, and deployment capabilities.

This Claude Skill helps developers apply both London (mock-based) and Chicago (state-based) TDD approaches when practicing test-driven development. It guides you to choose the appropriate style based on your context—using Chicago for domain logic and London for code with external dependencies. The skill follows the red-green-refactor cycle and works with specialized testing agents to generate, implement, and refactor tests.

This Claude skill applies the Six Thinking Hats framework to software testing, guiding structured analysis for test strategy design, failure analysis, and retrospectives. It systematically explores a problem through six distinct perspectives: factual data, risks, benefits, creative solutions, emotional responses, and process control. Use it to facilitate comprehensive testing discussions and ensure balanced quality evaluations.
