Documentation

README

Excerpt

Backend Test Generator

Generate backend tests for existing code — typically code that was written without tests, or where additional coverage is needed beyond what a code-writing skill (backend-endpoint) already produced.

When to use this vs. backend-endpoint: backend-endpoint generates tests as part of creating a new endpoint. Use backend-test when the code already exists and you need to add or expand its tests.

When to Invoke

Auto-invoke when user says:

"Write test for [file/function]"
"Add test" / "Add tests"
"Test this"
"Create test for [thing]"
"Test the [api/service/function]"

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
