tidy
tidy provides an interactive TDD workflow powered by Kent Beck's Tidy First approach. You write a plan (a markdown checklist of small tasks), then execute them one by one through a strict Red → Green → Refactor cycle. The plugin acts as a "Genie" — it executes your commands (go, refactor, commit) but never makes strategic decisions on its own. You stay in control of what to build, when to tidy, and when to commit. Key features: go: Write a failing test, then write the minimum code to pass it. One task at a time. refactor: Apply one Tidy First pattern (Guard Clause, Extract Method, Rename, etc.) and verify tests still pass. commit: Commit with strict separation — structural changes and behavioral changes never mix. Built-in Tidy First patterns: 11 tidying patterns with prioritization (eliminate duplication → improve clarity → reduce complexity). Context-constrained: Only loads the current task, never the full plan. Keeps the conversation focused.Description from the marketplace entry / plugin manifest.
