Does this skill support Gherkin 6+ features?

Yes, it includes support for newer keywords like 'Rule' to better group and illustrate complex business requirements within feature files.

Which programming languages are supported for step definitions?

The skill provides patterns and implementation logic for Ruby, JavaScript (Node.js), Java, and Python.

Can this skill help reduce test maintenance?

Yes, it promotes declarative testing over imperative steps, which focuses on behavior rather than UI implementation, making tests much more resilient to change.

How does it handle complex test data?

It provides standardized patterns for using Gherkin Data Tables and Doc Strings to manage multi-line text or tabular data inputs within scenarios.

Security & Testing

Implements Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) using Gherkin syntax and Cucumber step definitions across multiple programming languages.

About

This skill enables Claude to master the full BDD lifecycle by providing deep expertise in Cucumber and Gherkin syntax. It assists in drafting readable feature files, generating step definitions for Ruby, JavaScript, Java, and Python, and applying advanced patterns like Scenario Outlines and Data Tables. It specifically guides users toward declarative testing styles and domain-driven language, ensuring that acceptance tests serve as living documentation that stakeholders and developers can both understand.

Key Features

Full Gherkin syntax support including Feature, Scenario, Rule, and Background keywords
Cross-language step definition generation for Ruby, JS, Java, and Python
Support for advanced data structures like Data Tables and Doc Strings
Implementation of lifecycle hooks and conditional tagging systems
Guidance on declarative BDD best practices to avoid imperative anti-patterns
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Translating business requirements into executable Gherkin feature files
Generating boilerplate step definitions from existing .feature files
Refactoring legacy imperative test suites into clean, behavior-focused specifications
