SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

## What problem does it solve? Generate engine-specific test helper libraries to reduce duplication in test suites by reusing common setups, factories, and mocks across engines and languages.

## Core Features & Use Cases

Reads existing test patterns and produces shared helpers under tests/helpers/
Creates assertion utilities, factory functions, and mocks tailored to the project's systems
Helps new systems adopt consistent testing styles without manual boilerplate

### Quick Start Provide a minimal first-run scaffold and generate system-specific helpers on demand.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate shared test helpers for multiple engines and languages?▼

Engine-specific test helpers are shared utilities that cut boilerplate by automating setup, assertions, factories, and mocks. They parse existing test patterns and output ready-to-use files under tests/helpers without overwriting your custom manual edits.

How do I create mocks and factory functions tailored to my project's testing systems?▼

To create mocks and factory functions, the Skill reads your project configuration to detect the engine and language, then generates tailored helper files. It provides a minimal first-run scaffold and produces system-specific helpers on demand.

Can I generate test scaffolding without overwriting my existing custom test code?▼

Yes, you can generate test scaffolding without overwriting custom code. The Skill parses existing test patterns and outputs ready-to-use helper files under tests/helpers, specifically preserving and not destroying your manual edits.

What's the best way to adopt consistent testing styles across new project systems?▼

The best way to adopt consistent testing styles is to automate the creation of engine-specific test helper libraries. This generates shared setups, factories, and mocks from your existing patterns, ensuring new systems match your testing conventions without manual boilerplate.

Does this test helper generation work across different testing engines and programming languages?▼

Yes, test helper generation works across different engines and languages. It detects the specific engine and language from your project config, then applies the generated shared helpers to accelerate project testing across multiple systems.
