Go and Bubbletea testing patterns for this repo. Trigger: writing or reviewing tests, golden files, or coverage.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 12 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
- Very specific: line 9
Filesystem: always t.TempDir(); never touch the real home directory.
- Very specific: line 16
Test state transitions by calling Model.Update(msg) directly with a tea.Msg (use the key(...) helper for tea.KeyMsg).
- Very specific: line 19
Test rendered output with golden files (golden(t, name, view)).
- Distinctive: line 21
Keep screen tests hermetic — build the screen struct directly when you only need navigation, so you don't trigger real detection/exec.
- Very specific: line 26
Run the narrow package first, then go test -race ./...
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 12 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Patterns
- Table-driven tests for multiple cases; name cases by scenario, use
t.Run. - Filesystem: always
t.TempDir(); never touch the real home directory. - Seams over mocks: swap package-level function vars (e.g.
lookPath,userHomeDir,runVersion,runInstall,reExec) and restore viat.Cleanup. This is how exec/network/home paths are tested here.
Bubbletea / TUI
- Test state transitions by calling
Model.Update(msg)directly with atea.Msg(use thekey(...)helper fortea.KeyMsg). Assert the returned screen, state, and emittedtea.Cmd(callcmd()and type-assert the message). - Test rendered output with golden files (
golden(t, name, view)); update viago test ./internal/tui -updateand inspect the diff. - Keep screen tests hermetic — build the screen struct directly when you only need navigation, so you don't trigger real detection/exec.
Run
- Run the narrow package first, then
go test -race ./...before a PR.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
Used alongsideProjects with it also use go-performance and go-concurrency.
Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
els0rSkillgo-performance
Go performance analysis: memory allocation, CPU bottlenecks, concurrency contention, struct alignment, escape analysis, and benchmarking patterns. Use this skill whenever writing performance-sensitive Go code, reviewing Go code for efficiency, discussing allocations or GC pressure, benchmarking, profiling with pprof, or optimizing hot paths. Also trigger when the user mentions sync.Pool, atomic operations, pre-allocation, or escape analysis — even without saying "performance."

wpankSkillgo-concurrency
Production Go concurrency patterns — goroutines, channels, sync primitives, context, worker pools, pipelines, and graceful shutdown. Use when building concurrent Go applications or debugging race conditions.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
