Can I use this for performance profiling?

Absolutely. The skill includes patterns for basic benchmarks, sub-benchmarks for varying input sizes, and specific commands for analyzing memory allocations (benchmem).

Does it require external mocking libraries?

While it can adapt to libraries, it prioritizes idiomatic Go mocking using interfaces and function-based mocks, which reduces external dependencies.

How does this skill assist with TDD?

It provides a structured Red-Green-Refactor workflow, guiding Claude to write failing tests first, followed by minimal implementation and idiomatic refactoring.

What are Golden Files in this context?

Golden Files are a pattern supported by this skill for testing large or complex outputs by comparing the actual result against a stored 'master' file in the testdata directory.

Does this skill support the latest Go features?

Yes, it includes modern Go patterns such as native Fuzzing introduced in version 1.18 and the use of t.Cleanup for efficient resource management during tests.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Implements idiomatic Go testing patterns including TDD, table-driven tests, benchmarks, and fuzzing for robust software development.

The golang-testing skill provides a comprehensive framework for writing reliable and maintainable Go code using Test-Driven Development (TDD). It covers essential Go testing idioms such as table-driven tests for high coverage with minimal code, subtests for organized execution, and advanced techniques like native fuzzing to uncover edge cases. Additionally, it provides guidance on performance optimization through benchmarks and memory allocation analysis, ensuring your Go applications are both correct and efficient. Whether you are building a new API or refactoring legacy code, this skill ensures Claude follows industry-standard Go testing practices.
