SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Developers often encounter gaps when starting work: projects lack a ready-to-use test framework, leading to delays and inconsistent test coverage. This Skill automatically detects the project's language and installs and configures a suitable test framework, so teams can write and run tests immediately.

Core Features & Use Cases

Detection: Scans project files to determine language and framework requirements (TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Kotlin/Android).
Auto-configuration: Installs and configures recommended test frameworks (e.g., Jest/vitest for JS/TS, pytest for Python, JUnit for Kotlin).
Verification: Creates minimal config files and a simple example test to verify the setup, and updates project scripts to include a test command.

Quick Start

Run the skill in your project directory to detect language and project type.
If no test framework is found, install and configure a suitable framework (e.g., Jest/ts-jest for TypeScript, pytest for Python, JUnit for Kotlin).
The skill will create minimal configuration files and a simple example test to verify the setup.

FAQPage Schema

How do I auto-configure a test framework for my TypeScript or Python project?▼

To auto-configure a test framework, you can run a setup skill that detects your project's language and installs a suitable framework like Jest for TypeScript or pytest for Python. It adds configuration files and a minimal example test to verify the setup works.

What is the best way to set up Jest or pytest for an existing project that lacks tests?▼

The best way to set up Jest or pytest is to use an automated detection tool that scans your project files, installs the appropriate testing dependencies, and generates the necessary configuration files along with a simple example test.

Does automated test setup work with both JavaScript and Kotlin Android projects?▼

Yes, automated test setup works with JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Kotlin Android projects. It detects language and project-type indicators to install and configure the appropriate framework, such as Jest for JavaScript or JUnit for Kotlin.

How do I verify my test framework configuration is working correctly?▼

To verify your test framework configuration is working correctly, the setup process creates a minimal example test file and updates your project scripts to include a test command. Running this command confirms the framework is properly installed and configured.

Why do I need to configure a test framework before writing tests?▼

You need to configure a test framework before writing tests because projects often lack a ready-to-use setup, leading to delays and inconsistent coverage. Proper configuration installs dependencies and provides the foundational structure needed to run tests immediately.
