Recommend combining N8N to build a fully automated TDD process

Recommend using N8N to build a fully automated TDD process, including the entry of PRD files, the exit of all task execution completion notifications, the internal process calling of TM tool to advance the development process, and all user interactions required to be completed through MCP tool

nice dude!

So you can do CLI and MCP, so why not discuss this further here and let me know!

[lironghai]

ok
The first process is PRD gen：
Chat node users provide vague ideas -> n8n ai node ->Call the task-master-mcp prd gen tool ->task-master-mcp user feedback tool ->User feedback confirmation->... ->task-master-mcp write PRD tool ->n8n node publishes the PRD confirmation message ->Process ends

The second parse prd：
N8n node receives messages ->n8n AI node ->task-master-mcp parse-prod and expand_all and analyze_project_complexity ->MCP user feedback tool -> task-master-mcp update/remove tool ->... ->publish taskjson confirmation message ->end process

The third process is TDD task development：
N8n node receives message ->n8n AI node ->task-master-mcp task-exec-proxy retrieves the next task and executes it ->n8n AI node analyzes ->task-master-mcp task-exec-proxy verifies task->task-master-mcp task-exec-proxy ->... ->no next task., task-master-mcp task-exec-proxy code review ->task-master-mcp task-exec-proxy compiles starts ->publishes a service startup message ->ends the process

Writing test cases for the fourth process：
N8n node receives message ->n8n AI node -> task-master-mcp task-exec-proxy analyzes taskjson, prd.txt, estimates the number and modules of test cases, test points ->MCP user feedback ->confirms, and then writes test cases according to the module ->publishes a message after completion

Execution of the fifth process use case：
...

Fix the sixth process issue：
...

The above is the process we have implemented. We are using the old version of task master without TDD process, so we hope to use the new TDD process. Can the official provide an n8n tdd for task master process

@lironghai I think you can use n8n with anything, create code blocks, etc... so I don't think we want to create an official n8n node, but you are free to contribute.

Although, we have introduced something called tdd workflow that you can check out here:
