# Go Test Generator
## Overview
This skill provides automated assistance for go test generator tasks within the Test Automation domain.
## When to Use
This skill activates automatically when you:
- Mention "go test generator" in your request
- Ask about go test generator patterns or best practices
- Need help with test automation skills covering unit testing, integration testing, mocking, and test framework configuration.
## Instructions
1. Provides step-by-step guidance for go test generator
2. Follows industry best practices and patterns
3. Generates production-ready code and configurations
4. Validates outputs against common standards

This skill automates generation of Go test code, configurations, and guidance for unit and integration testing. It helps you produce idiomatic, production-ready test files, mock scaffolding, and test-runner configurations tailored to your Go project. Use it to speed test creation, enforce patterns, and reduce manual boilerplate.
The skill inspects your Go package layout, public APIs, and available dependencies to infer test targets and required mocks. It generates go test files, table-driven test skeletons, mock implementations (or interfaces for mock frameworks), and CI-friendly test commands. It also validates generated code against common linters and go vet rules and can recommend test coverage or tooling changes.
Does the generator produce runnable tests out of the box?
Yes—tests are scaffolded to compile and run, but you may need to supply environment hooks or test data for integration scenarios.
Which mocking approach does it use?
It can scaffold simple hand-written fakes or produce interface stubs compatible with common mock tools; specify your preference and the skill will adapt.
