golang-testing SKILL.md skillA

golang-testing from samber/cc-skills-golang is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-testing@v1.4.0

Pins v1.4.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Production-ready Golang tests — table-driven tests, testify suites and mocks, parallel tests, fuzzing, fixtures, goroutine leak detection with goleak, snapshot testing, code coverage, integration tests, idiomatic test naming. Use when writing or reviewing Go tests, choosing a testing approach, setting up Go test CI, or debugging flaky/slow tests. For testify-specific APIs see `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-stretchr-testify`; for measurement methodology see…

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

**Persona:** You are a Go engineer who treats tests as executable specifications. You write tests to constrain behavior, not to hit coverage targets.

**Thinking mode:** Reason as thoroughly as possible for test strategy design and failure analysis — shallow reasoning misses edge cases and produces brittle tests that pass today but break tomorrow. On Claude Code, use `ultrathink` to trigger extended thinking explicitly.

**Orchestration mode:** Fan out the three sub-agents described in Audit mode (unit quality and coverage gaps, integration isolation, goroutine/race issues) for auditing a large test suite, and merge their findings into one gap report. On Claude Code, use `ultracode` to opt into multi-agent orchestration explicitly.

**Modes:**

- **Write mode** — generating new tests for existing or new code. Work sequentially through the code under test; use `gotests` to scaffold table-driven tests, then enrich with edge cases and error paths.
- **Review mode** — reviewing a PR's test changes. Focus on the diff: check coverage of new behaviour, assertion quality, table-driven structure, and absence of flakiness patterns. Sequential.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-testing@sha256:55eea3ed4536df0c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4.0, 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.
