Auto-generating Behave step stubs from Gherkin feature files involves parsing the Gherkin syntax to output ready-to-implement Python stubs with type hints. This skill handles Background, Scenario Outline, data tables, and doc strings to eliminate boilerplate.

Yes, Behave parameter type inference can automatically detect int, Decimal for monetary values, float, bool, and str types. The generated step stubs include these proper type hints to align step definitions with the parsed Gherkin syntax.

Yes, you need Python 3.11+ and the Behave package installed to generate step stubs from Gherkin. The skill uses Behave's parser when available for robust Gherkin parsing to ensure accurate step definition extraction.

To prevent duplicate step definitions when parsing Gherkin features, use the optional --check-existing workflow. This detects existing steps in your codebase and suggests reusing them to minimize duplication across multi-file feature generation.

Yes, Gherkin step stub generation handles Scenario Outline, data tables, and doc strings. It uses robust Gherkin parsing to extract these complex structures and outputs Python stubs with clean naming and proper type hints.
