SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Go projects often require extensive unit test scaffolding that is repetitive and error-prone. This Skill automates the creation of unit tests using the standard testing package and established patterns to speed up development and improve consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • In-Got-Want, Table-Driven, and AAA testing patterns are supported to structure tests clearly.
  • Generates test skeletons for packages under pkg/ and internal/ matching *_test.go conventions.
  • Use Cases: when adding new functionality, refactoring, or validating test coverage across a Go codebase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate Go unit tests for packages in my project?

To generate Go unit tests, the Skill automates test creation for packages under pkg/ and internal/ directories, producing files that match the standard *_test.go convention using established testing patterns.

What are the standard patterns for structuring Go unit tests?

Standard Go unit tests can be structured using In-Got-Want, Table-Driven, and AAA patterns, which this Skill applies to ensure clear test organization, consistent quality, and reduced repetitive scaffolding across your codebase.

Can I use this to add tests when refactoring existing Go code?

Yes, you can use this to add tests when refactoring existing Go code, as it applies when creating, modifying, or reviewing tests, and provides templates to validate test coverage across your project.

Does this work with the standard Go testing package?

Yes, this works directly with the standard Go testing package, enforcing the standard Go testing workflow to automate unit test creation without requiring external testing dependencies.

What is the best way to automate table-driven testing in Go?

The best way to automate table-driven testing in Go is by applying standardized templates that enforce the Table-Driven pattern, which this Skill provides to speed up development and improve consistency across test files.

Are there limitations on which Go files this can target for test generation?

Yes, there are limitations on target files; it specifically generates test skeletons for Go files matching the pkg/**/*_test.go and internal/**/*_test.go path conventions, focusing on standard project layouts.
