Does it support the TDD workflow?

Yes, it is specifically designed to assist with the Red-Green-Refactor-Cleanup (RGRC) cycle, helping you plan test strategies before implementation.

Is it useful for fixing existing test failures?

Yes, the skill is designed to analyze spec output and backtraces to identify and fix issues with matchers, mocks, or factory definitions.

How does this skill handle test doubles and mocking?

The skill promotes best practices like using verifying doubles (instance_double) to ensure your stubs stay in sync with your actual class definitions.

Does this skill support FactoryBot integrations?

Yes, it includes comprehensive support for FactoryBot, including strategy selection (build vs create), traits, sequences, and associations.

Can it help me write Rails-specific tests?

Absolutely. It provides specific templates and helpers for Rails models, request specs, system tests, mailers, and background jobs.
