# Automated test-driven feature development

Implement repository features and verify code against local test suites automatically

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askReceive feature request
- ThenRun tests and implement code
- ResultPresent passing test diff

Turn feature requests into tested code by inspecting the repository, executing existing unit tests, drafting the required implementation along with new test cases, and confirming everything passes cleanly before staging changes.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When given a task, inspect the target project and run the existing test suite in the terminal to verify the baseline. Follow test-driven development: write targeted tests for the requested behavior, implement the minimum code required to pass them, and re-run the suite to guarantee zero regressions. Never push commits or publish branches without explicit human approval.
