writing-specs

writing-specs is a Test authoring & frameworks skill for AI agents, published by onsi in the ginkgo repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates writing-specs D (68/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Author good Ginkgo specs — container nodes (Describe/Context/When), subject nodes (It/Specify), setup/cleanup nodes (BeforeEach, JustBeforeEach, AfterEach, DeferCleanup, BeforeSuite/AfterSuite), the "declare in container, initialize in BeforeEach" rule, separating creation from configuration, reusable test helpers with GinkgoHelper()/GinkgoHelperGo(), and By/GinkgoWriter output. Use when writing or reviewing specs or extracting a test helper. Covers the tree-construction-time pitfalls (no assertions/init/loop-capture in container bodies).
