How to use Bats Testing Patterns

Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /bats-testing-patterns.

It contains no scripts, only instructions and reference files, so it can't run code on its own.
