What problem does it solve?

This tool automatically generates Python Behave step stubs from Gherkin feature files, reducing boilerplate and ensuring consistent patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Robust Gherkin parsing using Behave to extract steps, including Background, Scenario Outline, data tables, and doc strings
  • Intelligent parameter type inference (int, Decimal for monetary values, float, bool, str)
  • Detection of existing steps to suggest reuse and prevent duplication
  • Output of ready-to-implement Python stubs with proper type hints and clean naming
  • Supports multi-file feature generation and optional --check-existing workflow

Quick Start

Use this skill to generate step stubs from your feature files. Example:

  • Generate from a single feature: python skills/generate-step-stubs/scripts/generate_stubs.py features/login.feature
  • Write output to a file: python skills/generate-step-stubs/scripts/generate_stubs.py features/login.feature -o features/steps/login_steps.py
  • Check for existing steps: python skills/generate-step-stubs/scripts/generate_stubs.py features/login.feature --check-existing features/steps/
