Trigger Keywords

Activate this skill when the user mentions any of:

Core: Vitest, Vite Test, vi.mock, vi.fn, describe, it, test, expect

Configuration: vitest.config.ts, in-source testing, coverage

Comparison: Jest replacement, faster than Jest </trigger_keywords>

⛔ Forbidden Patterns

1. NO jest Global: Do not use jest.fn() or jest.mock(). Use vi.fn() and vi.mock().
2. NO CommonJS require: Vitest is ESM-first. Use import statements.
3. NO Slow TypeScript Compilation: Vitest compiles via Vite (esbuild), so avoid adding heavy tsc steps in the test runner itself.
4. NO module.exports: Use export default or named exports in your test files or mocks.

🤖 Agent Tool Strategy

1. Config Check: Look for vitest.config.ts or vite.config.ts to understand the environment (globals enabled? environment: jsdom?).
2. Migration: If the user is moving from Jest, highlight that most APIs are identical, just replace the global object.
3. Mocking: Use vi.spyOn and vi.mock for isolating dependencies.
4. UI: Mention vitest ui for a visual test runner experience.
