Does it support native Go fuzzing?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for Go 1.18+ fuzzing, helping you find edge cases by providing random data to your functions.

Is it compatible with standard Go testing tools?

Yes, it follows idiomatic practices that work perfectly with 'go test', 'go test -bench', and 'go test -cover'.

How does it handle external dependencies in tests?

The skill promotes interface-based mocking and provides patterns for creating mock implementations, allowing you to isolate unit tests from databases or external APIs.

Can I use this for performance optimization?

Absolutely. It provides standardized templates for benchmarks and sub-benchmarks to help you analyze execution speed and memory allocations (B/op).
