Go Test Quality
Go testing patterns for production-grade code: subtests, test helpers, fixtures, golden files, httptest, testcontainers, property-based testing, and fuzz testing. Covers mocking strategies, test isolation, coverage analysis, and test design philosophy. Use when writing tests, improving coverage, reviewing test quality, setting up test infrastructure, or choosing a testing approach. Trigger examples: "add tests", "improve coverage", "write tests for this", "test helpers", "mock this dependency", "integration test", "fuzz test". Do NOT use for performance benchmarking methodology (use go-performance-review), security testing (use go-security-audit), or table-driven test patterns specifically (use go-test-table-driven).

From the source SKILL.md
Tests are production code. They run in CI on every commit, they document behavior, and they're the first thing you read when a function breaks at 3am. Write them with the same care you'd give to code that handles money.
What this skill does
Go Test Quality is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the testing sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/go-test-quality/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when writing tests, improving coverage, reviewing test quality, setting up test infrastructure, or choosing a testing approach. Trigger examples: "add tests", "improve coverage", "write tests for this", "test helpers", "mock this dependency", "integration test", "fuzz test".
Who uses this skill
The Go Test Quality Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 153,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
