ginkgo
A Modern Testing Framework for Go
The Ginkgo Claude Code plugin provides a set of skills that teach Claude AI agents how to write test specifications using the Ginkgo BDD testing framework for Go. When installed, it gives Claude Code access to Ginkgo's domain-specific language, decorators, best practices, and common patterns for behavior-driven testing. The plugin automatically activates when working with Go test specs, helping the agent write expressive tests with proper syntax for container nodes, setup blocks, assertions, and parallel execution patterns.
