SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates repetitive test setup and assertion boilerplate by generating a project-specific helpers layer that matches your engine, language, and existing testing patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

Detects your configured engine/language/framework from project technical preferences to target helper code correctly.
Scans existing tests to learn patterns (setup/teardown, assertions, factories, mocks) so generated helpers stay consistent with your codebase.
Generates base and system-specific helper utilities to speed up new test files and reduce inconsistency.

Quick Start

Run the skill with "Generate helpers for all systems that already have tests" by asking the AI to execute /test-helpers all.

FAQPage Schema

How do I reduce repetitive test setup and assertion boilerplate in my test suite?▼

Generating a project-specific test helper library eliminates repetitive test setup and assertion boilerplate by creating a shared helpers layer that matches your engine, language, and existing testing patterns.

How do I scaffold a shared tests/helpers directory for my gameplay systems?▼

Scaffolding a shared tests/helpers directory involves scanning existing tests to learn setup, teardown, and assertion patterns, then generating non-overwriting factory and utility files into tests/helpers/ for targeted test acceleration.

Can I generate test helpers that automatically match my engine and testing framework preferences?▼

Yes, test helper generation reads your configured engine, language, and framework preferences from project technical settings to ensure the output helper code targets your specific environment correctly.

How do I generate factories and mocks that stay consistent with my existing test patterns?▼

Generating consistent factories and mocks requires analyzing your existing test suite to detect setup, teardown, assertion, and mocking patterns, ensuring the produced helper utilities align with your codebase conventions.

What is the best way to automate test scaffolding for all systems that already have tests?▼

Automating test scaffolding for systems with existing tests targets all systems with current coverage, generating base and system-specific helper utilities to speed up new test file creation and reduce inconsistency.

Will generating test helper libraries overwrite my existing helper utilities?▼

Generating test helper libraries writes non-overwriting helper outputs into the tests/helpers/ directory, ensuring your existing utilities and custom factory definitions remain untouched during the scaffolding process.
