backend-test
About
The backend-test skill automatically triggers when developers mention testing phrases like "write test for" or "add test." It generates comprehensive backend test files using Jest/Vitest, including fixtures, mocks, and coverage for both happy paths and error cases. This ensures tests are properly structured, isolated, and immediately runnable.
