Why it matters
Automate the creation of comprehensive unit tests for your codebase. This skill analyzes your code structure to generate high-quality, maintainable tests that maximize coverage and catch edge cases.
Outcomes
What it gets done
Generate unit tests for existing Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, or Go code.
Create tests with proper mocking, assertions, and edge-case validation.
Ensure consistent test structure and maximize code coverage.
Generate React component tests for improved UI reliability.

Overview
Automated Unit Test Generation
A test-generation skill that analyzes code via AST parsing and produces pytest, Jest, or React Testing Library tests with mocks and edge cases, plus coverage-gap detection against an 80% threshold. Use when existing code needs unit test coverage backfilled with consistent structure, mocks, and edge-case handling rather than hand-written from scratch.
What it does
The skill generates comprehensive, maintainable unit tests across languages and frameworks through a six-step process. First it analyzes the codebase with a TestGenerator class that maps languages to their test framework (python: pytest, javascript/typescript: jest, java: junit, go: testing) and uses AST parsing to extract functions, classes, arguments, return types, decorators, docstrings, and cyclomatic complexity. Second, it generates pytest test files from that analysis, emitting a happy-path success test, an empty-input edge case expecting ValueError/TypeError, and an error-handling test expecting an exception for each function, plus a fixture-backed smoke test per class method. Third, it generates Jest tests for JavaScript/TypeScript through a JestTestGenerator that builds describe/it suites covering valid input, graceful null handling, and thrown errors on invalid input. Fourth, it generates React component tests with React Testing Library covering render-without-crashing, correct initial state, user interaction via fireEvent.click, and prop updates verified through rerender. Fifth, a CoverageAnalyzer runs the test command with --coverage --json, parses the coverage report to find uncovered lines and files below an 80% threshold, and generates targeted tests specifically for those gaps. Sixth, it generates mock objects for external dependencies as pytest fixtures using unittest.mock.Mock(spec=...) with a stubbed return value.
Framework-map snippet, quoted verbatim from the source:
self.framework_map = {
'python': 'pytest',
'javascript': 'jest',
'typescript': 'jest',
'java': 'junit',
'go': 'testing'
}
Output is five deliverables: complete, runnable test files; a coverage report with gaps identified; mock-object fixtures for external dependencies; test documentation explaining the scenarios covered; and CI-integration commands to run the tests in a pipeline.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it when unit tests are needed for existing code, when consistent test structure and coverage is wanted, or when mocks, fixtures, and edge-case validation need to be generated. Do not use it when only integration or end-to-end tests are needed, when the source code under test cannot be accessed, or when tests must be hand-written for compliance reasons.
Inputs and outputs
Input is the source file(s) or codebase to test, plus the target language/framework. Output is the generated test suite (pytest, Jest, or React Testing Library depending on language), a coverage-gap report, mock fixtures, test documentation, and CI commands to run everything in a pipeline.
Who it's for
Developers and agents who need to backfill or extend unit test coverage on existing code without hand-writing every happy-path, edge-case, and error-handling test, and who want the coverage gaps identified and specifically targeted rather than guessed at.
