SKILL.md

This skill provides comprehensive testing standards and best practices for Python projects using pytest. It serves as a reference guide during code reviews to ensure test quality, maintainability, and adherence to Python testing conventions.

High-quality tests are essential for maintaining reliable Python applications. This skill documents industry-standard testing practices using pytest, the de facto testing framework for modern Python development. These standards emphasize:

This skill is designed to be referenced by the uncle-duke-python agent during code reviews and by developers when writing tests.

Comprehensive Python testing best practices, pytest conventions, test structure patterns (AAA, Given-When-Then), fixture usage, mocking strategies, code coverage standards, and common anti-patterns. Essential reference for code reviews, test writing, and ensuring high-quality Python test suites with pytest, unittest.mock, and pytest-cov. Source: clostaunau/holiday-card.
