TDD is exactly that I unable to get from AI tools. Probably, because training sets always have both code and tests. I tried multiply models from all major providers, and all failed to create tests without seen the code. One workflow that helps is to create dirty implementation and generate tests for it. Then throw away the first code and use different model for final implementation.

The best way is to create tests yourself, and block any attempts to modify them
