Decision brief

Probity is designed for TDD enforcement and guardrails in projects that integrate AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, leveraging TypeScript to maintain code quality.

Good fit when

Use Probity when working on a project that leverages multiple AI coding assistants such as Claude Code or Codex, and you need to ensure strict TDD compliance throughout your development lifecycle.
Integrate with the tool for automatic enforcement and monitoring of TDD practices if continuous code quality is paramount in projects utilizing GitHub Copilot CLI.

Avoid when

Do not use Probity if your team does not utilize AI coding assistants, as its specific guardrails and integration features are tailored to such environments.
Avoid adopting Probity if you do not wish to enforce TDD practices, or if another tool is better suited for enforcing the development methodology preferred by your team.
