What problem does it solve?
Write idiomatic Pester 5 tests for PowerShell modules. Use this skill whenever a user asks to add tests, fill coverage gaps, or validate AI-generated PowerShell code. Targets Pester 5+ syntax (BeforeAll/Describe/It, no Pester 4 patterns).
Core Features & Use Cases
- Generate tests that exercise the module surface (ExportedFunctions, cmdlets, parameters) using Pester 5 conventions.
- Enforce test structure with BeforeAll, Describe, Context, and It blocks, plus appropriate skip logic for non-target platforms.
- Identify coverage gaps and provide guidance to extend tests for edge cases, error handling, and parameter validation.
Quick Start
Create a set of Pester 5 tests for the current PowerShell module to validate exported surface and parameter behavior.
