Golang stretchr/testify Guide
Test Go with testify — assert, require, mock, and suite packages in depth
- What
- Test Go with testify — assert, require, mock, and suite packages in depth
- Cost
- Free
- Needs
- a Go project with the Go toolchain installed; the stretchr/testify dependency; gotests (go install github.com/cweill/gotests/...@latest) for the test-generation parts
- Install
- Copy the installer prompt below into your Muse — your agent does the rest.
Curated by Skill Harbor — a comprehensive guide to stretchr/testify for Go testing: the assert and require packages, mocks with expectations, argument matchers and call verification, suite lifecycle, and advanced patterns like Eventually, JSONEq, and custom matchers. Treats tests as executable specifications — written to constrain behavior and make failures self-explanatory, not to hit coverage targets. Distinct from the published samber-golang-testing skill (general Go testing strategy) — this one is the testify deep-dive for codebases that already import github.com/stretchr/testify. By @samber, listed here with credit to its creator. Honest caveats: requires a Go project with testify as a dependency; gotests is needed for the test-generation parts. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Prerequisites: a Go project with the Go toolchain installed; the stretchr/testify dependency; gotests (go install github.com/cweill/gotests/...@latest) for the test-generation parts Install "Golang stretchr/testify Guide" for me. Test Go with testify — assert, require, mock, and suite packages in depth Repository: https://github.com/samber/cc-skills-golang/blob/main/skills/golang-stretchr-testify/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file for the samber-golang-stretchr-testify skill from the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "samber-golang-stretchr-testify". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. any accounts, API keys, or CLI tools mentioned in the prerequisites above). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. Never ask me to paste secrets in chat — credentials go through the secure vault or environment variables. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
