Provides expert guidance on Ruby testing assertions, expectations, and the creation of custom RSpec matchers.
The RSpec Matchers skill is designed to help Ruby developers write cleaner, more expressive tests by leveraging the full power of the RSpec expectation framework. It offers comprehensive syntax references for standard matchers—covering equality, collections, and side effects—while providing advanced patterns for composable and custom matchers. Whether you are refactoring legacy test suites or building complex domain-specific assertions, this skill ensures your test code is both readable and robust.
