Trigger: Go tests, go test coverage, Bubbletea teatest, golden files. Apply focused Go testing patterns.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Activation Contract Load this skill when writing or reviewing Go tests, adding coverage, testing Bubbletea/TUI flows, using `teatest`, or updating golden files. ## Hard Rules - Prefer table-driven tests for multiple cases; use `t.Run(tt.name, ...)`. - Test behavior and state transitions, not implementation trivia. - Use `t.TempDir()` for filesystem tests; never rely on a real home directory. - Keep integration tests skippable with `testing.Short()` when they run external commands or slow flows. - For Bubbletea, test `Model.Update()` directly for state changes; use `teatest` only for interactive flows. - Golden files must be deterministic; update only through the repo's `-update` path and rerun tests without `-update`. - Use small mocks/interfaces around system or command execution boundaries. ## Decision Gates | Target | Test pattern | |---|---| | Pure function or parser | Table-driven unit test. | | Error behavior | Explicit success and failure cases. | | File operations | `t.TempDir()` plus focused assertions. | | TUI state transition | Direct `Model.Update()` call with `tea.Msg`. | | Full TUI interaction | `teatest.NewTestModel()`. | …

How to install
mdr add gentleman-programming/gentle-ai/go-testing@sha256:87205f2eff2f5dadThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
