+# Prompt
+
+I want to do test driven development for a python based project with a rigorous test first approach. Please provide a best practice guide how to do this with claude code.
+
+# Answer
+
+I'll help you set up a rigorous test-first development workflow with Claude Code for Python projects. Here's a best practice guide:
+
+## Test-First Development with Claude Code
+
+### 1. **Project Structure Setup**
+
+First, establish a clean project structure that separates concerns:
+
+```
+my_project/
+├── src/
+│   └── my_package/
+│       ├── __init__.py
+│       └── core/
+│           └── __init__.py
+├── tests/
+│   ├── __init__.py
+│   └── unit/
+│       └── __init__.py
+├── pyproject.toml
+└── pytest.ini
+```
+
+### 2. **Initial Configuration**
+
+Create a `pytest.ini` for consistent test behavior:
+
+```ini
+[pytest]
+testpaths = tests
+python_files = test_*.py
+python_classes = Test*
+python_functions = test_*
+addopts = -v --tb=short --strict-markers
+```
+
+### 3. **Test-First Workflow with Claude Code**
+
+**Step 1: Start with the Test**
+When beginning a new feature, always ask Claude Code to write the test first:
+
+```bash
+# In your terminal
+claude-code "Write a test for a function that validates email addresses. 
+The test should be in tests/unit/test_validators.py and cover valid emails, 
+invalid formats, and edge cases. Use pytest."
+```
+
+**Step 2: Review and Refine Tests**
+Claude Code will create the test file. Review it and iterate if needed:
+
+```bash
+claude-code "Add test cases for international domain names and plus addressing 
+to tests/unit/test_validators.py"
+```
+
+**Step 3: Implement to Pass Tests**
+Only after tests are written, ask for the implementation:
+
+```bash
+claude-code "Implement the email_validator function in src/my_package/core/validators.py 
+to make the tests in tests/unit/test_validators.py pass. Keep it focused and reusable."
+```
+
+### 4. **Best Practices for Test-First with Claude Code**
+
+**Be Explicit About Test-First Order:**
+```bash
+claude-code "Following TDD: 
+1. First create tests in tests/unit/test_parser.py for a JSON parser 
+2. Only after showing me the tests, implement the parser in src/my_package/core/parser.py"
+```
+
+**Request Idempotent Operations:**
+```bash
+claude-code "Write tests and implementation for a file processor that is idempotent - 
+running it multiple times on the same input produces the same result"
+```
+
+**Ensure Separation of Concerns:**
+```bash
+claude-code "Create tests for a repository pattern that separates data access from business logic. 
+Tests should mock the database layer."
+```
+
+**Specify Test Coverage:**
+```bash
+claude-code "Write comprehensive tests covering:
+- Happy path
+- Edge cases (empty input, null values)
+- Error conditions
+- Boundary values
+Then implement to pass these tests"
+```
+
+### 5. **Running Tests in the Loop**
+
+After Claude Code makes changes, immediately run tests:
+
+```bash
+# Run specific test file
+pytest tests/unit/test_validators.py -v
+
+# Run all tests
+pytest
+
+# With coverage
+pytest --cov=src/my_package --cov-report=term-missing
+```
+
+### 6. **Iterative Refinement Pattern**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Write failing test
+claude-code "Add test for handling concurrent requests in tests/unit/test_handler.py"
+
+# 2. Verify it fails
+pytest tests/unit/test_handler.py
+
+# 3. Implement
+claude-code "Make the concurrent request test pass"
+
+# 4. Verify it passes
+pytest tests/unit/test_handler.py
+
+# 5. Refactor if needed
+claude-code "Refactor the request handler for better separation of concerns"
+```
+
+### 7. **Advanced TDD Patterns**
+
+**Test Fixtures for Reusability:**
+```bash
+claude-code "Create pytest fixtures in tests/conftest.py for common test data 
+and mock objects that can be reused across test modules"
+```
+
+**Parameterized Tests:**
+```bash
+claude-code "Write parameterized tests using pytest.mark.parametrize 
+for testing multiple input scenarios efficiently"
+```
+
+**Test Isolation:**
+```bash
+claude-code "Ensure all tests are isolated - each test should set up its own 
+state and clean up afterward. Use fixtures with appropriate scope."
+```
+
+### 8. **Integration with CI/CD**
+
+Include test commands in your workflow:
+
+```bash
+claude-code "Create a GitHub Actions workflow that runs pytest on every push, 
+fails if coverage drops below 90%, and checks for test failures"
+```
+
+### 9. **Documentation Through Tests**
+
+```bash
+claude-code "Write tests that also serve as documentation examples, 
+showing how to use the API. Include docstrings in test functions 
+explaining what behavior is being verified"
+```
+
+### 10. **Key Commands to Use Regularly**
+
+```bash
+# Start new feature test-first
+claude-code "TDD: Write tests first for [feature description], then implement"
+
+# Refactor with test safety net
+claude-code "Refactor [module] while ensuring all tests still pass"
+
+# Add missing test coverage
+claude-code "Analyze [module] and add tests for uncovered code paths"
+
+# Review and improve tests
+claude-code "Review tests/unit/test_*.py and suggest improvements for clarity and coverage"
+```
+
+### Tips for Success
+
+1. **Always start sessions with:** "Following TDD, write tests first for..."
+2. **Be specific about test location:** Always specify the exact test file path
+3. **Request test verification:** Ask Claude Code to explain how tests verify the requirements
+4. **Iterative approach:** Make small, testable changes rather than large implementations
+5. **Use descriptive test names:** Request tests with clear, descriptive names that explain what's being tested
+6. **Mock external dependencies:** Always ask for proper mocking of databases, APIs, file systems
+7. **Keep tests fast:** Request unit tests that run quickly without I/O when possible
+
+This approach ensures your code is thoroughly tested, maintainable, and follows clean architecture principles with proper separation of concerns.
