What it does
Generate engine-specific test helper libraries, assertion utilities, factory functions, mocks in the engine's test folder. Reduces boilerplate.
!bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../hooks/yaml-helper.sh" resolve_config --keys automation
Automation mode: Resolve modes.automation (project.local.yaml →
project.yaml → default collaborative). Every AskUserQuestion call and
every file write follows .claude/docs/automation-modes.md
(collaborative asks always · guided major-only · autonomous logs and proceeds;
automation_always_ask categories always prompt).
Test Helpers
Writing test cases is faster and more consistent when common setup, teardown,
and assertion patterns are abstracted into helpers. This skill generates a
tests/helpers/ library tailored to the project's actual engine, language,
and systems, so every developer writes less boilerplate and more assertions.
Output: engine-specific helper files in the engine's helper root, the only place its test runner compiles them (.claude/docs/directory-structure.md):
| Engine | Helper root |
|---|---|
| Godot | tests/helpers/ |
| Unity | Assets/Tests/EditMode/Helpers/, inside the EditModeTests assembly /test-setup creates. If PlayMode tests need the same helpers, ask before creating Assets/Tests/Helpers/TestHelpers.asmdef and referencing it from both test assemblies. |
| Unreal | Source/<Module>/Private/Tests/Helpers/ |
tests/helpers/ below means the helper root for the project's engine.
When to run:
- After
/test-setupscaffolds the framework (first time) - When multiple test files repeat the same setup boilerplate
- When starting to write tests for a new system
Assertions: use the project's test framework, never bare assert()
Generated helpers must assert through the configured test framework's assertion
API, resolved from testing.framework, not through GDScript's built-in
assert().
Two things go wrong with a bare assert() in a helper, and both are silent:
