Asked it to build a discount calculator with TDD: it refused to write the implementation first, wrote a failing DUnitX test against a stub method, injected a hand-rolled TFakeCustomer implementing ICustomer instead of touching a concrete class, then filled in the minimal Green implementation -- exactly the Red-Green-Refactor order the baseline skipped straight past.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Delphi TDD and DUnitX does
Behavioral guardrails for writing Delphi tests: forces test-first Red-Green-Refactor sequencing, DUnitX [TestFixture]/[Test]/[Setup]/[TearDown] conventions, Action_Condition_ExpectedResult naming, and dependency isolation via hand-written Fake classes implementing interfaces (Delphi has no built-in mocking framework). Triggers when a user asks for TDD, unit tests, DUnitX, or fakes/mocks in a Delphi/Object Pascal context.
How to install Delphi TDD and DUnitX
git clone https://github.com/delphicleancode/delphi-spec-kit
cd delphi-spec-kit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r .claude/skills/tdd-dunitx ~/.claude/skills/delphi-test-driven-development-tdd-and-dunitx
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Delphi TDD and DUnitX skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from delphicleancode/delphi-spec-kit. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Delphi TDD and DUnitX work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Asked it to build a discount calculator with TDD: it refused to write the implementation first, wrote a failing DUnitX test against a stub method, injected a hand-rolled TFakeCustomer implementing ICustomer instead of touching a concrete class, then filled in the minimal Green implementation -- exactly the Red-Green-Refactor order the baseline skipped straight past.
- What is the Delphi TDD and DUnitX SkillProof Score?
- 9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Delphi TDD and DUnitX?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Delphi TDD and DUnitX with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
