Common Gherkin anti-patterns include imperative step sequences and leaking implementation details into scenarios. This Skill identifies these anti-patterns and provides guidance to transform them into declarative Given-When-Then structures.

To run an effective BDD discovery workshop, you use example mapping to explore scenarios using structured guidance. This Skill provides best-practice methods to facilitate discovery workshops and extract clear rules and examples for Formulation.

You convert imperative tests into declarative Gherkin scenarios by applying provided best-practice guidance and templates. This Skill reviews your .feature files and restructures step sequences to focus on business intent rather than UI interactions.

The best way to review .feature files for BDD consistency is applying structured checklists and anti-pattern detection. This Skill offers review methods and reference materials to validate scenario outlines and ensure high-quality Gherkin across Discovery and Automation phases.

This BDD guidance covers the automation phase as well as Discovery and Formulation. It provides structured methods to ensure your automated scenario outlines and .feature files maintain high quality and consistency throughout the entire BDD lifecycle.

You should use scenario outlines instead of standard scenarios when validating multiple data combinations. This Skill provides scenario outline checks to ensure your examples are structured correctly without introducing Gherkin anti-patterns.
