For Go developers writing, reviewing or debugging tests, from table-driven cases to fuzzing and leak checks. Skip it if your code is not in Go or you only need testify API details.

What does golang-testing do?

golang-testing is a skill by samber for Go tests, with four modes: write, review, audit and debug. Write mode scaffolds table-driven tests with gotests and adds edge cases; audit mode splits a large suite across three sub-agents for coverage gaps, integration isolation and goroutine races. Its rules require named subtests, //go:build integration tags, order-independent tests, t.Parallel() where possible, and goleak for goroutine leaks. It warns against creating a testify assert in the parent test, which hides which subtest failed. It also covers testing/synctest for timers, fuzzing, benchmarks with b.Loop(), coverage profiles and one test file per source file.

When should you use golang-testing?

Use it when

  • You need table-driven tests for a new Go package
  • A Go test is flaky or hangs
  • You want a test suite audited for gaps

Skip it when

  • Your code is not in Go
  • You only need testify API reference

What it needs and what it can touch

You need

  • Go
  • The gotests tool, installed with go install

What it can do

  • Reads and edits project files
  • Runs shell commands (go test, gotests, golangci-lint, git)
  • May start sub-agents for audits

From reading its instructions, not from running it.

How the formula works

Is golang-testing safe to install?

Every scanner that checked it passed it. Scanners often miss what other scanners catch, and a skill can change after a scan. Read its source before you install it.
