testing-anti-patterns

This skill identifies and prevents common testing anti-patterns like testing mock behavior, adding test-only methods to production code, and improper mocking. It provides concrete examples of bad practices with fixes, gate functions to prevent mistakes, and emphasizes TDD principles. The guidance helps developers write tests that verify real behavior rather than mock implementation details.
