Does this skill support the Testify library?

Yes, it provides specific patterns for using testify/require and testify/assert to handle test failures and assertions idiomatically in Go.

Can it help generate table-driven tests?

Absolutely. It focuses on the table-driven test pattern, which is the idiomatic Go standard for testing multiple input/output scenarios efficiently.

How does it handle integration tests?

The skill guides you through using Go build tags to separate integration tests from unit tests, allowing for cleaner test execution and CI/CD workflows.

Does it provide guidance on test coverage?

Yes, the skill includes standards for achieving 90% line and branch coverage, ensuring all exported functions and critical paths are validated.

Security & Testing

Implements industry-standard Go testing patterns and conventions to ensure high-quality, testable code.

About

Go TDD Patterns is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to streamline the development of robust Go applications through Test-Driven Development. It provides structured guidance on file organization, table-driven test implementations, and the strategic use of the Testify library for assertions. Whether you are mocking external dependencies, setting up integration tests with build tags, or striving for 90%+ code coverage, this skill ensures your Go test suites are idiomatic, maintainable, and serve as effective documentation for your codebase.
