Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by Gentleman-Programming on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Go Testing AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai.git /tmp/gentle-ai
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/gentle-ai/internal/assets/skills/go-testing .claude/skills/go-testing

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Go Testing in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Go Testing on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Go Testing is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Activation Contract

Load this skill when writing or reviewing Go tests, adding coverage, testing Bubbletea/TUI flows, using teatest, or updating golden files.

Hard Rules

Prefer table-driven tests for multiple cases; use t.Run(tt.name, ...).
Test behavior and state transitions, not implementation trivia.
Use t.TempDir() for filesystem tests; never rely on a real home directory.
Keep integration tests skippable with testing.Short() when they run external commands or slow flows.
For Bubbletea, test Model.Update() directly for state changes; use teatest only for interactive flows.
Golden files must be deterministic; update only through the repo's -update path and rerun tests without -update.
Use small mocks/interfaces around system or command execution boundaries.

Decision Gates

Target	Test pattern
Pure function or parser	Table-driven unit test.
Error behavior	Explicit success and failure cases.
File operations	`t.TempDir()` plus focused assertions.
TUI state transition	Direct `Model.Update()` call with `tea.Msg`.
Full TUI interaction	`teatest.NewTestModel()`.
Rendered output	Golden file test.
Real external command	Integration test; skip in `-short`.

Execution Steps

Identify behavior under test and the smallest public boundary that proves it.
Choose the test pattern from the decision gate.
Name cases by scenario, not input mechanics.
Assert outputs, errors, state, and side effects explicitly.
Run the narrow package test first, then the relevant broader suite.
For golden updates: run with -update, inspect diff, then rerun without -update.

Output Contract

Report test files changed, scenarios covered, commands executed, golden files updated, and any skipped integration scope.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Go Testing AI skill do?

Trigger: Go tests, go test coverage, Bubbletea teatest, golden files. Apply focused Go testing patterns.

Why use Go Testing on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Go Testing is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Go Testing in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai/tree/main/internal/assets/skills/go-testing. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Go Testing?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Go Testing?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Go Testing with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Go Testing AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Gentleman-Programming under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
