This is not really my experience using TDD with Claude at all. When I tell it “a button should appear under x condition” it writes the test, and will often even verify the test by changing the code to fail the condition correctly before coming back and tell me it’s done.

Every once in a while one of those useless tests you mention will sneak in…but I still read the code and either just remove it or tell the agent to get rid of it. It happens so rarely it’s barely an inconvenience.

But I don’t use any skills or anything like that to drive it. I just have a line in my CLAUDE.md to follow TDD best practices.

Personally I find most skills like these “superpowers” are just bullshit and don’t really help at all.
