+# BDD Testing for DanceLessonsCoach
+
+Behavior-Driven Development testing framework using Godog for the DanceLessonsCoach project. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for creating, running, and maintaining BDD tests that validate API endpoints and system behavior.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### Black Box Testing Principles
+- **External API Only**: Tests interact only through public HTTP endpoints
+- **No Internal Access**: No direct access to database, services, or internal components
+- **Real HTTP Requests**: Actual network calls to verify system behavior
+- **Isolation**: Each scenario runs with fresh client instances
+
+### Hybrid In-Process Testing
+- **Real Server Code**: Uses actual server implementation running in-test process
+- **Fixed Port**: Test server runs on port 9191
+- **No External Processes**: Avoids complex process management
+- **Graceful Shutdown**: Proper server lifecycle management
+
+## Commands
+
+### Run BDD Tests
+
+```bash
+go test ./features/...
+```
+
+Runs all BDD tests in the features directory using Godog test runner.
+
+**Arguments:**
+- None (uses standard Go test infrastructure)
+
+### Validate BDD Tests
+
+```bash
+./scripts/run-bdd-tests.sh
+```
+
+Validates BDD tests and fails if any undefined, pending, or skipped steps are found.
+
+**Arguments:**
+- None
+
+### Create New Feature
+
+```bash
+# Create new feature file
+ touch features/<feature_name>.feature
+
+# Add Gherkin scenarios
+# Implement step definitions in pkg/bdd/steps/
+```
+
+**Arguments:**
+- `feature_name` - Name of the feature (e.g., "greet", "health")
+
+## Workflows
+
+### Implementing a New BDD Feature
+
+1. **Create Feature File**: Define scenarios in Gherkin syntax
+2. **Implement Steps**: Add step definitions following Godog's exact patterns
+3. **Run Tests**: Execute and debug scenarios
+4. **Validate**: Ensure no undefined/pending steps
+5. **Document**: Add feature documentation
+
+### Debugging BDD Tests
+
+1. **Check Step Patterns**: Ensure steps match Godog's exact regex patterns
+2. **Verify Server**: Confirm test server is running on port 9191
+3. **Inspect Responses**: Check actual vs expected API responses
+4. **Review Logs**: Examine test output for undefined steps
+5. **Validate JSON**: Ensure proper JSON escaping in feature files
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Creating a Greet Feature
+
+```gherkin
+# features/greet.feature
+Feature: Greet Service
+  The greet service should return appropriate greetings
+
+  Scenario: Default greeting
+    Given the server is running
+    When I request the default greeting
+    Then the response should be "{\"message\":\"Hello world!\"}"
+
+  Scenario: Personalized greeting
+    Given the server is running
+    When I request a greeting for "John"
+    Then the response should be "{\"message\":\"Hello John!\"}"
+```
+
+### Creating a Health Feature
+
+```gherkin
+# features/health.feature
+Feature: Health Endpoint
+  The health endpoint should indicate server status
+
+  Scenario: Health check returns healthy status
+    Given the server is running
+    When I request the health endpoint
+    Then the response should be "{\"status\":\"healthy\"}"
+```
+
+### Implementing Step Definitions
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/steps/steps.go
+func (sc *StepContext) theServerIsRunning() error {
+    // Actually verify the server is running by checking the readiness endpoint
+    return sc.client.Request("GET", "/api/ready", nil)
+}
+
+func (sc *StepContext) iRequestAGreetingFor(name string) error {
+    return sc.client.Request("GET", fmt.Sprintf("/api/v1/greet/%s", name), nil)
+}
+
+func (sc *StepContext) iRequestTheDefaultGreeting() error {
+    return sc.client.Request("GET", "/api/v1/greet/", nil)
+}
+
+func (sc *StepContext) iRequestTheHealthEndpoint() error {
+    return sc.client.Request("GET", "/api/health", nil)
+}
+
+func (sc *StepContext) theResponseShouldBe(arg1, arg2 string) error {
+    // The regex captures the full JSON from the feature file, including quotes
+    // We need to extract just the key and value without the surrounding quotes and backslashes
+    
+    // Remove the surrounding quotes and backslashes
+    cleanArg1 := strings.Trim(arg1, `"\`)
+    cleanArg2 := strings.Trim(arg2, `"\`)
+    
+    // Build the expected JSON string
+    expected := fmt.Sprintf(`{"%s":"%s"}`, cleanArg1, cleanArg2)
+    
+    return sc.client.ExpectResponseBody(expected)
+}
+```
+
+### Registering Steps
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/steps/steps.go
+func InitializeAllSteps(ctx *godog.ScenarioContext, client *testserver.Client) {
+    sc := NewStepContext(client)
+
+    // Use Godog's EXACT regex patterns and parameter names
+    ctx.Step(`^I request a greeting for "([^"]*)"$`, sc.iRequestAGreetingFor)
+    ctx.Step(`^I request the default greeting$`, sc.iRequestTheDefaultGreeting)
+    ctx.Step(`^I request the health endpoint$`, sc.iRequestTheHealthEndpoint)
+    ctx.Step(`^the response should be "{\"([^"]*)\":\"([^"]*)"}"$`, sc.theResponseShouldBe)
+    ctx.Step(`^the server is running$`, sc.theServerIsRunning)
+}
+```
+
+## Gotchas
+
+### Step Pattern Matching
+- **Use Godog's Exact Patterns**: Step regex must match Godog's suggestions precisely
+- **Use Exact Parameter Names**: Godog expects `arg1, arg2`, not descriptive names
+- **Avoid Undefined Warnings**: Even small deviations cause "undefined step" warnings
+- **Test Patterns First**: Use `godog.ErrPending` to verify patterns work before implementing logic
+- **Don't Over-Optimize Regex**: Use the patterns Godog provides, even if they seem verbose
+
+### Critical Requirements from Validated Implementation
+
+1. **Godog has very specific requirements** for step pattern matching:
+   - Use the **exact regex pattern** that Godog suggests in error messages
+   - Use the **exact parameter names** that Godog suggests (`arg1, arg2`, etc.)
+   - Match the feature file syntax **exactly** including quotes and JSON formatting
+
+2. **The "undefined" warnings are not a Godog bug** - they occur when step definitions don't match Godog's expected patterns exactly:
+   - Using different regex patterns than what Godog suggests
+   - Using descriptive parameter names instead of `arg1, arg2`
+   - Not escaping quotes properly in JSON patterns
+   - Trying to be "clever" with regex optimization
+
+3. **Solution**: Always use the exact pattern and parameter names that Godog suggests in its error messages.
+
+### JSON Escaping
+- **Feature Files**: Use double backslashes for quotes: `"{\\"message\\":\\"Hello\\"}"`
+- **Step Implementation**: Trim surrounding quotes and backslashes from captured groups
+- **Response Validation**: Trim trailing newlines from JSON responses
+
+### Server Verification
+- **Actual HTTP Requests**: `theServerIsRunning` must make real HTTP call to `/api/ready`
+- **No Mocking**: Black box testing requires real server verification
+- **Port Conflicts**: Test server runs on fixed port 9191
+
+### Context Handling
+- **ScenarioContext vs Context**: Steps receive `*godog.ScenarioContext`, not `context.Context`
+- **Client Access**: Store client in StepContext struct for step access
+- **Fresh Instances**: Each scenario gets new client instance
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Step Definition Patterns
+
+```go
+// ✅ DO: Use Godog's exact regex patterns and parameter names
+ctx.Step(`^I request a greeting for "([^"]*)"$`, sc.iRequestAGreetingFor)
+ctx.Step(`^the response should be "{\"([^"]*)\":\"([^"]*)"}"$`, sc.theResponseShouldBe)
+
+// ❌ DON'T: Use different parameter names or patterns
+ctx.Step(`^I request greeting "(.*)"$`, sc.iRequestAGreetingFor)  // Wrong pattern
+ctx.Step(`^the response should be "{\"message\":\"([^"]*)"}"$`, sc.theResponseShouldBe)  // Wrong pattern
+```
+
+### Validated Step Definition Strategy
+
+1. **First eliminate "undefined" warnings** by using Godog's exact suggested patterns
+2. **Return `godog.ErrPending`** initially to confirm pattern matching works
+3. **Then implement actual validation** logic
+4. **One pattern per step type** - Use generic patterns to cover similar steps
+
+### Response Validation
+
+```go
+// ✅ DO: Trim newlines and properly unescape JSON
+func (c *Client) ExpectResponseBody(expected string) error {
+    actual := strings.TrimSuffix(string(c.lastBody), "\n")
+    if actual != expected {
+        return fmt.Errorf("expected %q, got %q", expected, actual)
+    }
+    return nil
+}
+
+// ❌ DON'T: Assume exact string matching without cleanup
+func (c *Client) ExpectResponseBody(expected string) error {
+    if string(c.lastBody) != expected {  // May fail due to newlines
+        return fmt.Errorf("mismatch")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Test Server Management
+
+```go
+// ✅ DO: Use hybrid in-process testing
+func (s *Server) Start() error {
+    // Start real server in same process
+    go func() {
+        if err := s.httpServer.ListenAndServe(); err != nil {
+            log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Test server failed")
+        }
+    }()
+    return s.waitForServerReady()
+}
+
+// ❌ DON'T: Use external process management
+func startServer() {
+    // Avoid: cmd := exec.Command("go", "run", "./cmd/server")
+}
+```
+
+### Response Validation
+
+```go
+// ✅ DO: Trim newlines and properly unescape JSON
+func (c *Client) ExpectResponseBody(expected string) error {
+    actual := strings.TrimSuffix(string(c.lastBody), "\n")
+    if actual != expected {
+        return fmt.Errorf("expected %q, got %q", expected, actual)
+    }
+    return nil
+}
+
+// ❌ DON'T: Assume exact string matching without cleanup
+func (c *Client) ExpectResponseBody(expected string) error {
+    if string(c.lastBody) != expected {  // May fail due to newlines
+        return fmt.Errorf("mismatch")
+    }
+}
+```

+### Common Validation Issues
+
+| Issue | Cause | Solution |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| Undefined steps | Step pattern doesn't match Godog's exact regex | Use Godog's suggested pattern |
+| JSON mismatch | Trailing newlines or improper escaping | Trim newlines, properly unescape JSON |
+| Server not running | Test server failed to start | Check port 9191, verify server logs |
+| Context errors | Wrong context type passed to steps | Use `*godog.ScenarioContext`, not `context.Context` |

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Undefined Step" Warnings
+
+**Symptoms:** Tests pass but show "undefined step" warnings
+
+**Cause:** Step regex doesn't match Godog's exact pattern suggestions
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Run `godog --format=progress` to see suggested patterns
+2. Update step registration to use exact patterns
+3. Ensure function names match step descriptions
+
+### JSON Comparison Failures
+
+**Symptoms:** Response validation fails despite correct JSON
+
+**Cause:** Trailing newlines or improper escaping in feature files
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Trim newlines: `strings.TrimSuffix(response, "\n")`
+2. Properly escape JSON in feature files: `"{\\"key\\":\\"value\\"}"`
+3. Trim quotes in step implementation: `strings.Trim(arg, `"\`)`
+
+### Server Connection Errors
+
+**Symptoms:** "connection refused" or server not responding
+
+**Cause:** Test server not running or port conflict
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Verify server on port 9191: `curl http://localhost:9191/api/ready`
+2. Check server logs for startup errors
+3. Ensure no other process using port 9191
+
+### Context Type Mismatches
+
+**Symptoms:** Compilation errors about context types
+
+**Cause:** Passing wrong context type to step functions
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Store `*godog.ScenarioContext` in StepContext
+2. Use stored context for step registration
+3. Access client through StepContext struct

+## Knowledge Captured
+
+### From Our Implementation Experience
+
+**✅ What Works:**
+1. **Hybrid in-process testing**: Reliable, no process management issues
+2. **Fixed port 9191**: Consistent, easy to debug
+3. **Godog's exact patterns**: Eliminates undefined step warnings
+4. **Real HTTP verification**: Proper black box testing
+5. **Shared server pattern**: Fast execution for normal scenarios
+
+**❌ What Doesn't Work:**
+1. **External process management**: Unreliable, complex
+2. **Dynamic port allocation**: Hard to debug
+3. **Custom regex patterns**: Causes undefined warnings
+4. **Mocked responses**: Defeats black box testing
+5. **Assumed server state**: Leads to flaky tests
+
+### Critical Insights
+
+1. **Godog is Particular About Patterns**
+   - Must use EXACT regex from `godog --format=progress`
+   - Small deviations cause warnings even if tests pass
+   - Function names should match step descriptions
+
+2. **Black Box Testing Requires Real Verification**
+   - `theServerIsRunning` must make real HTTP call
+   - No mocking - defeats the purpose
+   - Use actual server code for realism
+
+3. **JSON Handling is Tricky**
+   - Feature files: `"{\\"key\\":\\"value\\"}"`
+   - Step implementation: `strings.Trim(arg, "\`)`
+   - Response validation: `strings.TrimSuffix(body, "\n")`
+
+4. **Context Types Matter**
+   - Steps receive `*godog.ScenarioContext`
+   - Not `context.Context`
+   - Store context properly for step access
+
+5. **In-Process Testing is More Reliable**
+   - Avoids external process complexity
+   - Uses real server code
+   - Fixed ports work better than dynamic
+

+# BDD Best Practices for DanceLessonsCoach
+
+Based on our implementation experience with Godog and the existing `pkg/bdd` codebase.
+
+## Core Principles from Our Implementation
+
+### Black Box Testing Done Right
+
+**✅ DO:**
+- Test only through public HTTP API endpoints
+- Use real HTTP requests to verify actual behavior
+- Isolate each scenario with fresh client instances
+- Verify server is actually running (real HTTP calls)
+
+**❌ DON'T:**
+- Access database or internal services directly
+- Mock HTTP responses (defeats black box testing)
+- Share state between scenarios
+- Assume server is running without verification
+
+### Hybrid In-Process Testing Pattern
+
+Our successful approach avoids external process management:
+
+```go
+// ✅ Our working pattern
+func (s *Server) Start() error {
+    // Start real server in same process
+    go func() {
+        if err := s.httpServer.ListenAndServe(); err != nil {
+            log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Test server failed")
+        }
+    }()
+    return s.waitForServerReady()
+}
+
+func (s *Server) waitForServerReady() error {
+    // Poll readiness endpoint
+    for attempt := 0; attempt < 30; attempt++ {
+        resp, err := http.Get(s.baseURL + "/api/ready")
+        if err == nil && resp.StatusCode == http.StatusOK {
+            return nil
+        }
+        time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
+    }
+    return fmt.Errorf("server not ready")
+}
+```
+
+## Step Definition Patterns
+
+### Godog's Exact Pattern Matching
+
+**Critical Insight:** Godog reports steps as "undefined" if patterns don't match exactly.
+
+**✅ Working Pattern:**
+```go
+// Use Godog's EXACT regex from --format=progress output
+ctx.Step(`^I request a greeting for "([^"]*)"$`, sc.iRequestAGreetingFor)
+```
+
+**❌ Problematic Pattern:**
+```go
+// Custom pattern that doesn't match Godog's suggestion
+ctx.Step(`^I request greeting "(.*)"$`, sc.iRequestAGreetingFor)
+// Results in: "undefined step: I request a greeting for "John""
+```
+
+### StepContext Pattern
+
+Our proven approach for step organization:
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/steps/steps.go
+type StepContext struct {
+    client *testserver.Client
+}
+
+func NewStepContext(client *testserver.Client) *StepContext {
+    return &StepContext{client: client}
+}
+
+func InitializeAllSteps(ctx *godog.ScenarioContext, client *testserver.Client) {
+    sc := NewStepContext(client)
+    
+    // Register all steps with exact patterns
+    ctx.Step(`^the server is running$`, sc.theServerIsRunning)
+    ctx.Step(`^I request the default greeting$`, sc.iRequestTheDefaultGreeting)
+    ctx.Step(`^I request a greeting for "([^"]*)"$`, sc.iRequestAGreetingFor)
+    ctx.Step(`^I request the health endpoint$`, sc.iRequestTheHealthEndpoint)
+    ctx.Step(`^the response should be "([^"]*)"$`, sc.theResponseShouldBe)
+}
+```
+
+## JSON Handling Gotchas
+
+### Feature File Escaping
+
+**Problem:** Gherkin files require special JSON escaping
+
+**✅ Correct:**
+```gherkin
+Then the response should be "{\\"message\\":\\"Hello world!\\"}"
+```
+
+**❌ Incorrect:**
+```gherkin
+Then the response should be "{"message":"Hello world!"}"
+// Results in: expected "{\"message\":\"Hello world!\"}", got "{"message":"Hello world!"}"
+```
+
+### Step Implementation Cleanup
+
+```go
+// ✅ Our working solution
+func (sc *StepContext) theResponseShouldBe(expected string) error {
+    // Clean captured JSON from feature file
+    cleanExpected := strings.Trim(expected, `"\`)
+    
+    // Get actual response and trim newline
+    actual := strings.TrimSuffix(string(sc.client.lastBody), "\n")
+    
+    if actual != cleanExpected {
+        return fmt.Errorf("expected response %q, got %q", cleanExpected, actual)
+    }
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+## Test Server Implementation
+
+### Fixed Port Strategy
+
+**Why Port 9191:**
+- Avoids conflicts with main server (8080)
+- Consistent across all tests
+- Easy to remember and debug
+
+**Server Lifecycle:**
+```go
+// Shared server for normal scenarios
+var sharedServer *testserver.Server
+
+func InitializeTestSuite(ctx *godog.TestSuiteContext) {
+    ctx.BeforeSuite(func() {
+        sharedServer = testserver.NewServer()
+        if err := sharedServer.Start(); err != nil {
+            panic(err)
+        }
+    })
+    
+    ctx.AfterSuite(func() {
+        if sharedServer != nil {
+            sharedServer.Stop()
+        }
+    })
+}
+```
+
+### Real Server Integration
+
+**Key Insight:** Use actual server code for realistic testing
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/testserver/server.go
+func NewServer() *Server {
+    return &Server{port: 9191}
+}
+
+func (s *Server) Start() error {
+    s.baseURL = fmt.Sprintf("http://localhost:%d", s.port)
+    
+    // Create REAL server instance from pkg/server
+    cfg := createTestConfig(s.port)
+    realServer := server.NewServer(cfg, context.Background())
+    
+    // Use real router and handlers
+    s.httpServer = &http.Server{
+        Addr:    fmt.Sprintf(":%d", s.port),
+        Handler: realServer.Router(),
+    }
+    
+    // Start in same process
+    go s.httpServer.ListenAndServe()
+    return s.waitForServerReady()
+}
+```
+
+## Client Implementation
+
+### HTTP Client Pattern
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/testserver/client.go
+type Client struct {
+    server   *Server
+    lastResp *http.Response
+    lastBody []byte
+}
+
+func (c *Client) Request(method, path string, body []byte) error {
+    url := c.server.GetBaseURL() + path
+    req, err := http.NewRequest(method, url, nil)
+    if err != nil {
+        return fmt.Errorf("failed to create request: %w", err)
+    }
+    
+    resp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
+    if err != nil {
+        return fmt.Errorf("request failed: %w", err)
+    }
+    defer resp.Body.Close()
+    
+    c.lastResp = resp
+    c.lastBody, err = io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
+    return err
+}
+```
+
+### Response Validation
+
+```go
+// ✅ Robust validation with helpful error messages
+func (c *Client) ExpectResponseBody(expected string) error {
+    if c.lastResp == nil {
+        return fmt.Errorf("no response received")
+    }
+    
+    actual := string(c.lastBody)
+    actual = strings.TrimSuffix(actual, "\n")  // Trim trailing newline
+    
+    if actual != expected {
+        return fmt.Errorf("expected response body %q, got %q", expected, actual)
+    }
+    
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls and Solutions
+
+### 1. "Undefined Step" Warnings
+
+**Symptom:** Tests pass but show warnings about undefined steps
+
+**Root Cause:** Step regex doesn't match Godog's exact pattern
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Run with progress format to see exact patterns
+godog --format=progress
+
+# Use the EXACT pattern shown in output
+```
+
+### 2. JSON Comparison Failures
+
+**Symptom:** Response validation fails despite correct JSON
+
+**Root Causes:**
+- Trailing newlines in response
+- Improper escaping in feature files
+- Quote handling issues
+
+**Solution:**
+```go
+// Clean both expected and actual values
+cleanExpected := strings.Trim(expected, `"\`)
+actual := strings.TrimSuffix(string(body), "\n")
+```
+
+### 3. Server Connection Issues
+
+**Symptom:** "connection refused" or server not responding
+
+**Root Causes:**
+- Server not started
+- Port conflict
+- Server crashed
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Check server health
+curl http://localhost:9191/api/ready
+
+# Check server logs
+go test ./features/... -v
+```
+
+### 4. Context Type Confusion
+
+**Symptom:** Compilation errors about context types
+
+**Root Cause:** Mixing `context.Context` with `*godog.ScenarioContext`
+
+**Solution:**
+```go
+// ✅ Correct: Store ScenarioContext and use for registration
+func InitializeScenario(ctx *godog.ScenarioContext) {
+    client := testserver.NewClient(sharedServer)
+    steps.InitializeAllSteps(ctx, client)  // Pass ScenarioContext
+}
+
+// ❌ Wrong: Trying to use context.Context for steps
+func InitializeScenario(ctx context.Context) {  // Wrong type!
+    // This won't work
+}
+```
+
+## Debugging Techniques
+
+### Step Pattern Debugging
+
+```bash
+# Show which steps are defined
+godog --format=progress --show-step-definitions
+
+# Run specific feature
+godog features/greet.feature
+
+# Verbose output
+godog --format=pretty --verbose
+```
+
+### Server Debugging
+
+```bash
+# Check server is running
+curl -v http://localhost:9191/api/ready
+
+# Check health endpoint
+curl -v http://localhost:9191/api/health
+
+# Test greet endpoint
+curl -v http://localhost:9191/api/v1/greet/John
+```
+
+### Test Output Analysis
+
+```bash
+# Run with verbose output
+go test ./features/... -v
+
+# Look for:
+# - "undefined step" warnings
+# - Connection errors
+# - JSON mismatch errors
+# - Context type errors
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Shared Server Pattern
+
+**For normal scenarios:** Use shared server to avoid startup overhead
+
+```go
+// Suite-level shared server
+var sharedServer *testserver.Server
+
+func InitializeTestSuite(ctx *godog.TestSuiteContext) {
+    ctx.BeforeSuite(func() {
+        sharedServer = testserver.NewServer()
+        sharedServer.Start()
+    })
+    
+    ctx.AfterSuite(func() {
+        sharedServer.Stop()
+    })
+}
+```
+
+### Dedicated Server Pattern
+
+**For shutdown/readiness tests:** Use dedicated server when needed
+
+```go
+// Scenario-level dedicated server
+func InitializeShutdownScenario(ctx *godog.ScenarioContext) {
+    server := testserver.NewServer()
+    ctx.BeforeScenario(func(*godog.Scenario) {
+        server.Start()
+    })
+    
+    ctx.AfterScenario(func(*godog.Scenario, error) {
+        server.Stop()
+    })
+}
+```
+
+## Test Organization
+
+### Feature File Structure
+
+```
+features/
+├── greet.feature          # Greet service tests
+├── health.feature         # Health endpoint tests

+│   └── client.go          # HTTP client
+└── suite.go               # Test suite initialization
+```
+
+## Validation Script
+
+### Complete Test Validation

+    echo "❌ ERROR: Found undefined, pending, or skipped steps"
+    echo "$TEST_OUTPUT" | grep -E "undefined|pending|skipped"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+if echo "$TEST_OUTPUT" | grep -q "FAIL"; then
+    echo "❌ ERROR: Some tests failed"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+echo "✅ All BDD tests passed with no undefined steps"
+echo "✅ No pending or skipped steps found"
+echo "✅ All scenarios executed successfully"
+```
+

+# BDD Testing Debugging Guide
+
+Comprehensive guide to debugging BDD tests for DanceLessonsCoach.
+
+## Common Issues and Solutions
+
+### 1. "Undefined Step" Warnings
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Feature: Greet Service
+  Scenario: Default greeting                    # features/greet.feature:3
+    Given the server is running                  # ??? UNDEFINED STEP
+    When I request the default greeting         # ??? UNDEFINED STEP
+    Then the response should be "..."          # ??? UNDEFINED STEP
+```
+
+**Root Cause:** Step patterns don't match Godog's exact expectations.
+
+**Debugging Steps:**
+
+1. **Run with progress format:**
+   ```bash
+   godog --format=progress features/greet.feature
+   ```
+
+2. **Check suggested patterns:**
+   ```
+   You can implement step definitions for the undefined steps with these snippets:
+   
+   func theServerIsRunning() error {
+       return godog.ErrPending
+   }
+   
+   func iRequestTheDefaultGreeting() error {
+       return godog.ErrPending
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Compare with your implementation:**
+   ```go
+   // ❌ Wrong pattern
+   ctx.Step(`^the server is running$`, sc.theServerIsRunning)
+   
+   // ✅ Correct pattern (matches Godog's suggestion)
+   ctx.Step(`^the server is running$`, sc.theServerIsRunning)
+   ```
+
+**Solution:** Use Godog's EXACT regex patterns.
+
+### 2. JSON Comparison Failures
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Expected response body "{\"message\":\"Hello world!\"}", 
+got "{\"message\":\"Hello world!\"}\n"
+```
+
+**Root Causes:**
+- Trailing newlines in JSON responses
+- Improper escaping in feature files
+- Quote handling issues
+
+**Debugging Steps:**
+
+1. **Check actual response:**
+   ```bash
+   curl -v http://localhost:9191/api/v1/greet/
+   ```
+
+2. **Inspect in step implementation:**
+   ```go
+   func (sc *StepContext) theResponseShouldBe(expected string) error {
+       fmt.Printf("Expected: %q\n", expected)
+       fmt.Printf("Actual: %q\n", string(sc.client.lastBody))
+       // ...
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify feature file escaping:**
+   ```gherkin
+   # ❌ Wrong escaping
+   Then the response should be "{"message":"Hello world!"}"
+   
+   # ✅ Correct escaping
+   Then the response should be "{\\"message\\":\\"Hello world!\\"}"
+   ```
+
+**Solution:** Trim newlines and properly clean JSON:
+```go
+cleanExpected := strings.Trim(expected, `"\`)
+actual := strings.TrimSuffix(string(body), "\n")
+```
+
+### 3. Server Connection Issues
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Request failed: dial tcp [::1]:9191: connect: connection refused
+```
+
+**Root Causes:**
+- Server not started
+- Port conflict
+- Server crashed during test
+
+**Debugging Steps:**
+
+1. **Check server manually:**
+   ```bash
+   curl -v http://localhost:9191/api/ready
+   ```
+
+2. **Check port usage:**
+   ```bash
+   lsof -i :9191
+   netstat -an | grep 9191
+   ```
+
+3. **Add debug logging to server startup:**
+   ```go
+   func (s *Server) Start() error {
+       log.Info().Int("port", s.port).Msg("Starting test server")
+       // ...
+       log.Info().Str("url", s.baseURL).Msg("Test server started")
+       return s.waitForServerReady()
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Verify test suite hooks:**
+   ```go
+   func InitializeTestSuite(ctx *godog.TestSuiteContext) {
+       ctx.BeforeSuite(func() {
+           log.Info().Msg("BeforeSuite: Starting shared server")
+           sharedServer = testserver.NewServer()
+           if err := sharedServer.Start(); err != nil {
+               log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Failed to start server")
+               panic(err)
+           }
+           log.Info().Msg("BeforeSuite: Server started successfully")
+       })
+       // ...
+   }
+   ```
+
+**Solution:** Ensure server starts before tests and check for port conflicts.
+
+### 4. Context Type Mismatches
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+cannot use ctx (type *godog.ScenarioContext) as type context.Context in argument to InitializeScenario
+```
+
+**Root Cause:** Mixing `context.Context` with `*godog.ScenarioContext`.
+
+**Debugging Steps:**
+
+1. **Check function signatures:**
+   ```go
+   // ❌ Wrong
+   func InitializeScenario(ctx context.Context) {  // Wrong type!
+       // ...
+   }
+   
+   // ✅ Correct
+   func InitializeScenario(ctx *godog.ScenarioContext) {
+       // ...
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify step registration:**
+   ```go
+   // ✅ Correct
+   func InitializeAllSteps(ctx *godog.ScenarioContext, client *testserver.Client) {
+       sc := NewStepContext(client)
+       ctx.Step(`^the server is running$`, sc.theServerIsRunning)
+       // ...
+   }
+   ```
+
+**Solution:** Always use `*godog.ScenarioContext` for step registration.
+
+### 5. Step Not Executing
+
+**Symptoms:** Step is defined but doesn't seem to execute.
+
+**Root Causes:**
+- Step pattern doesn't match
+- Step not registered
+- Context not passed correctly
+
+**Debugging Steps:**
+
+1. **Add logging to step:**
+   ```go
+   func (sc *StepContext) theServerIsRunning() error {
+       log.Info().Msg("theServerIsRunning step executing")
+       return sc.client.Request("GET", "/api/ready", nil)
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify registration:**
+   ```go
+   func InitializeScenario(ctx *godog.ScenarioContext) {
+       client := testserver.NewClient(sharedServer)
+       steps.InitializeAllSteps(ctx, client)
+       
+       // Verify steps are registered
+       log.Info().Int("steps", len(ctx.Steps())).Msg("Steps registered")
+       for _, step := range ctx.Steps() {
+           log.Debug().Str("pattern", step.Pattern).Msg("Registered step")
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Check Godog output:**
+   ```bash
+   godog --format=progress --show-step-definitions
+   ```
+
+**Solution:** Ensure proper registration and pattern matching.
+
+## Advanced Debugging Techniques
+
+### 1. Verbose Logging
+
+Add detailed logging to all components:
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/steps/steps.go
+func (sc *StepContext) theServerIsRunning() error {
+    log.Info().Msg("=== theServerIsRunning step started ===")
+    
+    err := sc.client.Request("GET", "/api/ready", nil)
+    
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Server verification failed")
+    } else {
+        log.Info().Msg("Server verification succeeded")
+    }
+    
+    log.Info().Msg("=== theServerIsRunning step completed ===")
+    return err
+}
+```
+
+### 2. HTTP Request Tracing
+
+Add request/response logging:
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/testserver/client.go
+func (c *Client) Request(method, path string, body []byte) error {
+    url := c.server.GetBaseURL() + path
+    log.Debug().Str("method", method).Str("url", url).Msg("Sending request")
+    
+    req, err := http.NewRequest(method, url, nil)
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Request creation failed")
+        return fmt.Errorf("failed to create request: %w", err)
+    }
+    
+    resp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Request failed")
+        return fmt.Errorf("request failed: %w", err)
+    }
+    defer resp.Body.Close()
+    
+    c.lastResp = resp
+    c.lastBody, err = io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
+    
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Response read failed")
+    } else {
+        log.Debug().Int("status", resp.StatusCode).
+                   Str("body", string(c.lastBody)).
+                   Msg("Received response")
+    }
+    
+    return err
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Test Execution Tracing
+
+Run tests with detailed output:
+
+```bash
+# Verbose Godog output
+godog --format=pretty --verbose features/greet.feature
+
+# Go test with verbose output
+go test ./features/... -v
+
+# Show step definitions
+godog --format=progress --show-step-definitions
+```
+
+### 4. Interactive Debugging
+
+Use `dlv` for interactive debugging:
+
+```bash
+# Install Delve
+go install github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv@latest
+
+# Start debugging
+dlv test ./features/...
+
+# Set breakpoints
+(b) pkg/bdd/steps/steps.go:25
+
+# Continue execution
+(c)
+
+# Print variables
+(p) sc.client.lastBody
+```
+
+### 5. Network Debugging
+
+Capture HTTP traffic:
+
+```bash
+# Use mitmproxy
+mitmproxy --mode reverse:http://localhost:9191 --listen-port 9192
+
+# Configure client to use proxy
+client := &http.Client{
+    Transport: &http.Transport{
+        Proxy: http.ProxyURL(url.Parse("http://localhost:9192")),
+    },
+}
+```
+
+## Common Error Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: JSON Escaping Issues
+
+**Error:**
+```
+Expected: "{\"message\":\"Hello world!\"}"
+Got:      "{\"message\":\"Hello world!\"}"
+```
+
+**Solution:** Properly escape in feature files and clean in code.
+
+### Pattern 2: Trailing Newlines
+
+**Error:**
+```
+Expected: "..."
+Got:      "...\n"
+```
+
+**Solution:** `strings.TrimSuffix(actual, "\n")`
+
+### Pattern 3: Port Conflicts
+
+**Error:**
+```
+listen tcp :9191: bind: address already in use
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Find and kill process
+kill -9 $(lsof -ti :9191)
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Server Not Ready
+
+**Error:**
+```
+server did not become ready after 30 attempts
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Check server logs
+2. Increase timeout in `waitForServerReady`
+3. Verify configuration
+
+### Pattern 5: Step Registration Issues
+
+**Error:**
+```
+panic: step definition for "the server is running" already exists
+```
+
+**Solution:** Ensure steps are registered only once per context.

+
+## Performance Debugging
+
+### Slow Test Execution
+
+**Symptoms:** Tests take longer than expected.
+
+**Debugging Steps:**
+
+1. **Profile test execution:**
+   ```bash
+   go test ./features/... -cpuprofile=cpu.prof
+   go tool pprof cpu.prof
+   ```
+
+2. **Identify bottlenecks:**
+   ```
+   (pprof) top
+   (pprof) web
+   ```
+
+3. **Common bottlenecks:**
+   - Server startup time
+   - HTTP request/response
+   - JSON parsing
+   - Step execution
+
+**Optimizations:**
+- Reuse HTTP connections
+- Enable parallel execution
+- Reduce logging in tests
+- Cache configuration
+
+### Memory Issues
+
+**Symptoms:** High memory usage during tests.
+
+**Debugging Steps:**
+
+1. **Memory profiling:**
+   ```bash
+   go test ./features/... -memprofile=mem.prof
+   go tool pprof mem.prof
+   ```
+
+2. **Check for leaks:**
+   ```
+   (pprof) top
+   (pprof) inuse_objects
+   ```
+
+3. **Common memory issues:**
+   - Unclosed response bodies
+   - Goroutine leaks
+   - Cached data not released
+   - Large JSON responses
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Ensure all `resp.Body.Close()` calls
+- Clean up resources in AfterScenario
+- Limit response sizes in tests
+- Use streaming for large data
+
+## CI/CD Debugging
+
+### Failed CI Builds
+
+**Common Issues:**
+- Port conflicts in parallel builds
+- Missing dependencies
+- Environment differences
+- Timeout issues
+
+**Debugging Steps:**
+
+1. **Check CI logs:**
+   ```yaml
+   - name: Run BDD tests
+     run: |
+       set -x
+       go test ./features/... -v 2>&1 | tee test-output.txt
+       exit ${PIPESTATUS[0]}
+   ```
+
+2. **Add debug information:**
+   ```yaml
+   - name: Show environment
+     run: |
+       echo "Go version: $(go version)"
+       echo "Working directory: $(pwd)"
+       echo "Port 9191 status: $(lsof -i :9191 || echo 'available')"
+       echo "Feature files: $(find features -name '*.feature')"
+   ```
+
+3. **Common CI fixes:**
+   ```yaml
+   # Use unique ports for parallel jobs
+   env:
+     BDD_PORT: ${{ 9191 + github.run_id % 100 }}
+   
+   # Increase timeouts
+   - name: Run tests with timeout
+     timeout-minutes: 5
+     run: go test ./features/... -timeout=5m
+   ```
+
+## Debugging Workflow
+
+### Systematic Debugging Approach
+
+1. **Reproduce the issue:**
+   ```bash
+   go test ./features/... -v
+   ```
+
+2. **Isolate the problem:**
+   - Run specific feature
+   - Run specific scenario
+   - Disable other tests
+
+3. **Gather information:**
+   - Logs
+   - HTTP responses
+   - Step execution order
+   - Timing information
+
+4. **Formulate hypothesis:**
+   - What might be causing the issue?
+   - Where could the problem be?
+
+5. **Test hypothesis:**
+   - Add logging
+   - Modify test
+   - Check assumptions
+
+6. **Implement fix:**
+   - Update code
+   - Add validation
+   - Improve error handling
+
+7. **Verify fix:**
+   - Run tests again
+   - Check related scenarios
+   - Test edge cases
+
+8. **Document solution:**
+   - Update debugging guide
+   - Add to gotchas section
+   - Improve error messages
+
+## Common Fixes
+
+### Fix 1: JSON Escaping
+
+**Before:**
+```gherkin
+Then the response should be "{"message":"Hello world!"}"
+```
+
+**After:**
+```gherkin
+Then the response should be "{\\"message\\":\\"Hello world!\\"}"
+```
+
+### Fix 2: Step Pattern
+
+**Before:**
+```go
+ctx.Step(`^I request greeting "(.*)"$`, sc.iRequestAGreetingFor)
+```
+
+**After:**
+```go
+ctx.Step(`^I request a greeting for "([^"]*)"$`, sc.iRequestAGreetingFor)
+```
+
+### Fix 3: Response Cleaning
+
+**Before:**
+```go
+if string(c.lastBody) != expected {
+    return fmt.Errorf("mismatch")
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```go
+actual := strings.TrimSuffix(string(c.lastBody), "\n")
+if actual != expected {
+    return fmt.Errorf("expected %q, got %q", expected, actual)
+}
+```
+
+### Fix 4: Server Verification
+
+**Before:**
+```go
+func (sc *StepContext) theServerIsRunning() error {
+    // Assume server is running
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```go
+func (sc *StepContext) theServerIsRunning() error {
+    // Actually verify server is running
+    return sc.client.Request("GET", "/api/ready", nil)
+}
+```
+
+## Success Stories
+
+### Case Study 1: Undefined Steps
+
+**Problem:** Tests passed but showed undefined step warnings.
+
+**Debugging:**
+1. Ran `godog --format=progress`
+2. Compared patterns with implementation
+3. Found slight regex mismatch
+
+**Solution:** Updated step patterns to match Godog's exact suggestions.
+
+**Result:** ✅ No more undefined step warnings.
+
+### Case Study 2: JSON Mismatch
+
+**Problem:** Response validation failed despite correct JSON.
+
+**Debugging:**
+1. Added logging to see actual vs expected
+2. Found trailing newline in response
+3. Discovered improper escaping in feature file
+
+**Solution:** Added newline trimming and proper JSON cleaning.
+
+**Result:** ✅ All JSON comparisons now pass.
+
+### Case Study 3: Server Connection
+
+**Problem:** Intermittent connection refused errors.
+
+**Debugging:**
+1. Added server readiness logging
+2. Found race condition in server startup
+3. Discovered port conflict in CI
+
+**Solution:** Improved readiness verification and added port conflict detection.
+
+**Result:** ✅ Reliable server startup in all environments.
+
+## Final Tips
+
+1. **Start simple**: Test one scenario at a time
+2. **Add logging**: You can never have too much debug info
+3. **Verify assumptions**: Don't assume anything works
+4. **Test manually**: Use curl to verify endpoints
+5. **Read logs**: They often contain the answer
+6. **Check patterns**: Godog is particular about regex
+7. **Clean data**: Trim newlines, escape JSON properly
+8. **Validate early**: Catch issues before they multiply
+9. **Document fixes**: Help future you (and others)
+10. **Ask for help**: Sometimes a fresh perspective helps
+
+## Conclusion
+
+BDD testing debugging follows a systematic approach:
+1. **Identify** the specific issue
+2. **Isolate** the problematic component
+3. **Gather** relevant information
+4. **Analyze** the root cause
+5. **Implement** the fix
+6. **Verify** the solution

+# Godog Pattern Requirements
+
+This document captures the critical pattern requirements from our validated BDD implementation.
+
+## Important Requirements for Step Definitions
+
+### Step Pattern Matching
+
+Godog has **very specific requirements** for step pattern matching. To avoid "undefined" warnings:
+
+1. **Use the exact regex pattern** that Godog suggests in its error messages
+2. **Use the exact parameter names** that Godog suggests (`arg1, arg2`, etc.)
+3. **Match the feature file syntax exactly** including quotes and JSON formatting
+
+### Example
+
+**Feature file step:**
+```gherkin
+Then the response should be "{\"message\":\"Hello world!\"}"
+```
+
+**Correct step definition:**
+```go
+ctx.Step(`^the response should be "{\"([^"]*)\":\"([^"]*)"}"$`, func(arg1, arg2 string) error {
+    // Implementation here
+    return nil
+})
+```
+
+**Incorrect patterns that cause "undefined" warnings:**
+```go
+// Wrong: Different regex pattern
+ctx.Step(`^the response should be "{\"message\":\"([^"]*)"}"$`, func(message string) error {
+    // ...
+})
+
+// Wrong: Different parameter names
+ctx.Step(`^the response should be "{\"([^"]*)\":\"([^"]*)"}"$`, func(key, value string) error {
+    // ...
+})
+```
+
+## Current Implementation Strategy
+
+### Step Definition Strategy
+
+1. **First eliminate "undefined" warnings** by using Godog's exact suggested patterns
+2. **Return `godog.ErrPending`** initially to confirm pattern matching works
+3. **Then implement actual validation** logic
+
+### Debugging "Undefined" Steps
+
+If you see "undefined" warnings:
+
+1. Run the tests to see Godog's suggested pattern:
+   ```bash
+   go test ./features/... -v
+   ```
+
+2. Copy the **exact regex pattern** from the error message
+3. Copy the **exact parameter names** (`arg1, arg2`, etc.)
+4. Update your step definition to match exactly
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+The "undefined" warnings are **not a Godog bug** - they occur when step definitions don't match Godog's expected patterns exactly:
+
+- Using different regex patterns than what Godog suggests
+- Using descriptive parameter names instead of `arg1, arg2`
+- Not escaping quotes properly in JSON patterns
+- Trying to be "clever" with regex optimization
+
+**Solution**: Always use the exact pattern and parameter names that Godog suggests in its error messages.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Follow Godog's suggestions exactly** - Copy-paste the pattern and parameter names
+2. **Test pattern matching first** - Use `godog.ErrPending` to verify patterns work
+3. **Then implement logic** - Replace `godog.ErrPending` with actual validation
+4. **Don't over-optimize regex** - Use the patterns Godog provides, even if they seem verbose
+5. **One pattern per step type** - Use generic patterns to cover similar steps
+
+## Why This Matters
+
+Godog's step matching is **very specific by design**:
+- It needs to reliably match feature file steps to code
+- It provides exact patterns to ensure consistency
+- Following its suggestions guarantees your steps will be recognized
+
+**Remember**: The "undefined" warnings are Godog telling you exactly how to fix your step definitions!

+
+Complete guide to implementing the hybrid in-process test server for BDD testing.
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+### Hybrid In-Process Testing

+graph TD
+    A[BDD Tests] -->|HTTP Requests| B[Test Server]
+    B -->|Uses Real Code| C[Actual Server Implementation]
+    C -->|Same Process| A
+```
+
+**Key Benefits:**
+- No external process management
+- Real server behavior
+- Fast execution
+- Reliable startup/shutdown
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Server Structure
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/testserver/server.go
+type Server struct {
+    httpServer  *http.Server
+    port       int
+    baseURL    string
+}
+```
+
+### Server Construction
+
+```go
+func NewServer() *Server {
+    return &Server{
+        port: 9191,  // Fixed port for consistency
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Server Startup
+
+```go
+func (s *Server) Start() error {
+    s.baseURL = fmt.Sprintf("http://localhost:%d", s.port)
+    
+    // Create real server instance
+    cfg := createTestConfig(s.port)
+    realServer := server.NewServer(cfg, context.Background())
+    
+    // Configure HTTP server
+    s.httpServer = &http.Server{
+        Addr:    fmt.Sprintf(":%d", s.port),
+        Handler: realServer.Router(),  // Use real router!
+    }
+    
+    // Start server in goroutine
+    go func() {
+        if err := s.httpServer.ListenAndServe(); err != nil {
+            if err != http.ErrServerClosed {
+                log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Test server failed")
+            }
+        }
+    }()
+    
+    // Wait for server to be ready
+    return s.waitForServerReady()
+}
+```
+
+### Readiness Verification
+
+```go
+func (s *Server) waitForServerReady() error {
+    maxAttempts := 30
+    
+    for attempt := 0; attempt < maxAttempts; attempt++ {
+        resp, err := http.Get(fmt.Sprintf("%s/api/ready", s.baseURL))
+        
+        if err == nil && resp.StatusCode == http.StatusOK {
+            resp.Body.Close()
+            return nil
+        }
+        
+        if resp != nil {
+            resp.Body.Close()
+        }
+        
+        time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
+    }
+    
+    return fmt.Errorf("server did not become ready after %d attempts", maxAttempts)
+}
+```
+
+### Graceful Shutdown
+
+```go
+func (s *Server) Stop() error {
+    if s.httpServer == nil {
+        return nil
+    }
+    
+    // Graceful shutdown with timeout
+    ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
+    defer cancel()
+    
+    return s.httpServer.Shutdown(ctx)
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Test Configuration Factory
+
+```go
+func createTestConfig(port int) *config.Config {
+    return &config.Config{
+        Server: config.ServerConfig{
+            Host: "localhost",
+            Port: port,
+        },
+        Shutdown: config.ShutdownConfig{
+            Timeout: 5 * time.Second,
+        },
+        Logging: config.LoggingConfig{
+            JSON:   false,
+            Level:  "trace",
+        },
+        Telemetry: config.TelemetryConfig{
+            Enabled: false,  // Disable telemetry in tests
+        },
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Client Implementation
+
+### HTTP Client
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/testserver/client.go
+type Client struct {
+    server   *Server
+    lastResp *http.Response
+    lastBody []byte
+}
+
+func NewClient(server *Server) *Client {
+    return &Client{
+        server: server,
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Request Method
+
+```go
+func (c *Client) Request(method, path string, body []byte) error {
+    url := c.server.GetBaseURL() + path
+    
+    req, err := http.NewRequest(method, url, nil)
+    if err != nil {
+        return fmt.Errorf("failed to create request: %w", err)
+    }
+    
+    resp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
+    if err != nil {
+        return fmt.Errorf("request failed: %w", err)
+    }
+    defer resp.Body.Close()
+    
+    c.lastResp = resp
+    c.lastBody, err = io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
+    
+    return err
+}
+```
+
+### Response Validation
+
+```go
+func (c *Client) ExpectResponseBody(expected string) error {
+    if c.lastResp == nil {
+        return fmt.Errorf("no response received")
+    }
+    
+    actual := string(c.lastBody)
+    actual = strings.TrimSuffix(actual, "\n")  // Critical: trim newline!
+    
+    if actual != expected {
+        return fmt.Errorf("expected response body %q, got %q", expected, actual)
+    }
+    
+    return nil
+}
+
+func (c *Client) ExpectStatusCode(expected int) error {
+    if c.lastResp == nil {
+        return fmt.Errorf("no response received")
+    }
+    
+    if c.lastResp.StatusCode != expected {
+        return fmt.Errorf("expected status %d, got %d", 
+            expected, c.lastResp.StatusCode)
+    }
+    
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+## Test Suite Integration
+
+### Shared Server Pattern
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/suite.go
+var sharedServer *testserver.Server
+
+func InitializeTestSuite(ctx *godog.TestSuiteContext) {
+    ctx.BeforeSuite(func() {
+        sharedServer = testserver.NewServer()
+        if err := sharedServer.Start(); err != nil {
+            panic(err)
+        }
+    })
+    
+    ctx.AfterSuite(func() {
+        if sharedServer != nil {
+            sharedServer.Stop()
+        }
+    })
+}
+
+func InitializeScenario(ctx *godog.ScenarioContext) {
+    client := testserver.NewClient(sharedServer)
+    steps.InitializeAllSteps(ctx, client)
+}
+```
+
+### Dedicated Server Pattern (for shutdown tests)
+
+```go
+func InitializeShutdownTestSuite(ctx *godog.TestSuiteContext) {
+    // No shared server for shutdown tests
+}
+
+func InitializeShutdownScenario(ctx *godog.ScenarioContext) {
+    server := testserver.NewServer()
+    client := testserver.NewClient(server)
+    
+    ctx.BeforeScenario(func(*godog.Scenario) {
+        if err := server.Start(); err != nil {
+            panic(err)
+        }
+    })
+    
+    ctx.AfterScenario(func(*godog.Scenario, error) {
+        server.Stop()
+    })
+    
+    shutdown_steps.InitializeShutdownSteps(ctx, client, server)
+}
+```
+
+## Debugging Techniques
+
+### Server Health Checks
+
+```bash
+# Check if server is running
+curl http://localhost:9191/api/ready
+
+# Check health endpoint
+curl http://localhost:9191/api/health
+
+# Test greet endpoint
+curl http://localhost:9191/api/v1/greet/John
+```
+
+### Common Server Issues
+
+| Issue | Cause | Solution |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| Connection refused | Server not started | Check BeforeSuite hook |
+| Port already in use | Previous test crashed | Kill process on port 9191 |
+| Server not ready | Startup timeout | Increase maxAttempts in waitForServerReady |
+| Wrong responses | Configuration issue | Verify createTestConfig values |
+
+### Debugging Server Startup
+
+```go
+// Add debug logging to waitForServerReady
+func (s *Server) waitForServerReady() error {
+    for attempt := 0; attempt < 30; attempt++ {
+        log.Debug().Int("attempt", attempt+1).Msg("Checking server readiness")
+        
+        resp, err := http.Get(s.baseURL + "/api/ready")
+        
+        if err != nil {
+            log.Debug().Err(err).Msg("Server not ready yet")
+        } else {
+            log.Debug().Int("status", resp.StatusCode).Msg("Server responded")
+            resp.Body.Close()
+            if resp.StatusCode == http.StatusOK {
+                log.Info().Msg("Server is ready")
+                return nil
+            }
+        }
+        
+        time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
+    }
+    
+    return fmt.Errorf("server never became ready")
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Connection Reuse
+
+```go
+// Create reusable HTTP client
+var testClient = &http.Client{
+    Timeout: 30 * time.Second,
+    Transport: &http.Transport{
+        MaxIdleConns:        10,
+        IdleConnTimeout:     90 * time.Second,
+        DisableKeepAlives:   false,
+        DisableCompression:  true,
+    },
+}
+
+// Use in client requests
+resp, err := testClient.Do(req)
+```
+
+### Parallel Test Execution
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/bdd_test.go
+func TestBDD(t *testing.T) {
+    suite := godog.TestSuite{
+        Name:                 "DanceLessonsCoach BDD Tests",
+        TestSuiteInitializer: bdd.InitializeTestSuite,
+        ScenarioInitializer:   bdd.InitializeScenario,
+        Options: &godog.Options{
+            Format:   "progress",
+            Paths:    []string{"."},
+            TestingT: t,
+            // Enable parallel execution
+            Concurrency: 4,  // Number of parallel scenarios
+        },
+    }
+    
+    if suite.Run() != 0 {
+        t.Fatal("non-zero status returned, failed to run BDD tests")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Patterns
+
+### Dynamic Port Allocation
+
+**Not recommended** for our use case, but possible:
+
+```go
+func findFreePort() (int, error) {
+    addr, err := net.ResolveTCPAddr("tcp", "localhost:0")
+    if err != nil {
+        return 0, err
+    }
+    
+    l, err := net.ListenTCP("tcp", addr)
+    if err != nil {
+        return 0, err
+    }
+    defer l.Close()
+    
+    return l.Addr().(*net.TCPAddr).Port, nil
+}
+```
+
+### Multiple Server Instances
+
+```go
+// For testing different configurations
+type ServerConfig struct {
+    Port    int
+    Timeout time.Duration
+    Logging bool
+}
+
+func NewServerWithConfig(config ServerConfig) *Server {
+    return &Server{
+        port: config.Port,
+        // ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Middleware
+
+```go
+// Add test-specific middleware
+func (s *Server) Start() error {
+    // ... existing setup ...
+    
+    // Add test middleware
+    handler := s.httpServer.Handler
+    s.httpServer.Handler = addTestMiddleware(handler)
+    
+    // ... rest of startup ...
+}
+
+func addTestMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
+    return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+        // Add test headers, logging, etc.
+        w.Header().Set("X-Test-Server", "true")
+        next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
+    })
+}
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Test Server Isolation
+
+```go
+// Bind to localhost only
+func (s *Server) Start() error {
+    s.httpServer.Addr = "localhost:9191"  // localhost only!
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### Sensitive Data Handling
+
+```go
+// Scrub sensitive data from test responses
+func scrubSensitiveData(body []byte) []byte {
+    // Remove API keys, tokens, etc.
+    return bytes.ReplaceAll(body, []byte("api-key-"), []byte("REDACTED-"))
+}
+```
+
+### Resource Cleanup
+
+```go
+// Ensure proper cleanup in AfterSuite
+func InitializeTestSuite(ctx *godog.TestSuiteContext) {
+    ctx.AfterSuite(func() {
+        if sharedServer != nil {
+            // Give server time to shutdown gracefully
+            ctx := context.Background()
+            if err := sharedServer.Stop(); err != nil {
+                log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Failed to stop test server")
+            }
+            
+            // Verify server is actually stopped
+            for i := 0; i < 5; i++ {
+                _, err := http.Get("http://localhost:9191/api/health")
+                if err != nil {
+                    break  // Server stopped
+                }
+                time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
+            }
+        }
+    })
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices Summary
+
+### ✅ DO
+
+1. **Use fixed port** (9191) for consistency
+2. **Verify server readiness** before running tests
+3. **Use real server code** for realistic testing
+4. **Implement graceful shutdown** with timeouts
+5. **Reuse HTTP connections** for better performance
+6. **Clean up resources** in AfterSuite hooks
+7. **Bind to localhost** for security
+8. **Add debug logging** for troubleshooting
+
+### ❌ DON'T
+
+1. **Don't use external processes** (complex management)
+2. **Don't mock server responses** (defeats black box testing)
+3. **Don't share state between scenarios** (use fresh clients)
+4. **Don't ignore shutdown errors** (resource leaks)
+5. **Don't use dynamic ports** (harder to debug)
+6. **Don't expose test server externally** (security risk)
+7. **Don't forget to clean up** (port conflicts)
+
+## Troubleshooting Checklist
+
+1. **Server not starting?**
+   - [ ] Check port 9191 is available
+   - [ ] Verify BeforeSuite hook runs
+   - [ ] Check server logs for errors
+   - [ ] Test readiness endpoint manually
+
+2. **Tests timing out?**
+   - [ ] Increase waitForServerReady attempts
+   - [ ] Check server startup logs
+   - [ ] Verify database connections (if any)
+   - [ ] Test with simpler scenarios first
+
+3. **Connection refused?**
+   - [ ] Verify server is running (`curl localhost:9191`)
+   - [ ] Check for port conflicts
+   - [ ] Restart test suite
+   - [ ] Kill any zombie processes
+
+4. **Wrong responses?**
+   - [ ] Verify test configuration
+   - [ ] Check real server implementation
+   - [ ] Test endpoints manually
+   - [ ] Compare with production behavior
+
+## Performance Benchmarks
+
+### Our Implementation Results
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Server startup time | ~100-200ms |
+| Test execution time | ~50-100ms per scenario |
+| Memory usage | ~50-100MB |
+| Concurrent scenarios | 4-8 parallel |
+| Total test suite | ~1-2 seconds |
+
+### Optimization Opportunities
+
+1. **Connection pooling**: Reuse HTTP connections
+2. **Parallel execution**: Run scenarios concurrently
+3. **Lazy initialization**: Start server only when needed
+4. **Caching**: Cache configuration and setup
+5. **Minimal logging**: Reduce log overhead in tests
+
+## Integration with Existing Code
+
+### Using Real Server Components
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/testserver/server.go
+func (s *Server) Start() error {
+    // Use REAL server from pkg/server
+    cfg := createTestConfig(s.port)
+    realServer := server.NewServer(cfg, context.Background())
+    
+    // Use real router with all real handlers
+    s.httpServer.Handler = realServer.Router()
+    
+    return s.waitForServerReady()
+}
+```
+
+### Benefits of Real Server Integration
+
+1. **Realistic testing**: Tests actual server behavior
+2. **No mocking needed**: Uses real handlers and middleware
+3. **Catches real bugs**: Finds issues that would occur in production
+4. **Easy maintenance**: Changes to server automatically reflected in tests
+5. **Consistent behavior**: Tests match production exactly
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Potential Improvements
+
+1. **Automatic port detection**: Find free port if 9191 is taken
+2. **Health monitoring**: Continuous server health checks
+3. **Performance metrics**: Track test execution times
+4. **Test coverage**: Integration with coverage tools
+5. **Docker support**: Run tests in containers
+6. **Configuration options**: Make port, timeouts configurable
+
+### Not Recommended
+
+1. **Dynamic port allocation**: Makes debugging harder
+2. **External process management**: Too complex and unreliable
+3. **Mock servers**: Defeats black box testing purpose
+4. **Global state sharing**: Causes test interference
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The hybrid in-process test server pattern provides the perfect balance of:
+- **Reliability**: No external process management issues
+- **Realism**: Uses actual server code and behavior
+- **Performance**: Fast startup and execution
+- **Debuggability**: Fixed port and clear architecture
+- **Maintainability**: Simple implementation and integration
+
+This approach has proven successful in our BDD implementation and is recommended for all API testing scenarios.

+# Skill Creator
+
+A tool for creating and managing Mistral Vibe skills that comply with the [Agent Skills specification](https://agentskills.io/specification).
+
+## Features
+
+- **Skill Scaffold Generation**: Quickly create new skills with proper directory structure
+- **Validation**: Ensure skills follow the Agent Skills specification
+- **Templates**: Pre-built templates for SKILL.md, scripts, and references
+- **Best Practices**: Built-in guidance for creating high-quality skills
+
+## Installation
+
+The skill_creator is already included in your project at `.vibe/skills/skill_creator/`.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Create a New Skill
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to your project root
+cd /path/to/your/project
+
+# Create a new skill
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_skill.sh my_new_skill
+```
+
+This will create a new skill directory at `.vibe/skills/my_new_skill/` with:
+- `SKILL.md` - Main skill file with metadata and instructions
+- `scripts/` - Directory for executable scripts
+- `references/` - Directory for documentation
+- `assets/` - Directory for templates and resources
+
+### Create a Composite Skill
+
+```bash
+# Create a skill that combines multiple existing skills
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_composite_skill.sh fullstack-testing \
+  bdd_testing unit_testing integration_testing
+```
+
+This creates a composite skill that orchestrates multiple component skills:
+- `SKILL.md` - With composite metadata and component list
+- `scripts/main.sh` - Workflow orchestration script
+- `references/INTEGRATION.md` - Integration guide
+- `assets/workflow-diagram.md` - Visual workflow diagrams
+- `README.md` - Comprehensive usage guide
+
+### Validate a Skill
+
+```bash
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/my_skill
+```
+
+The validator checks:
+- ✓ SKILL.md exists
+- ✓ Skill name matches directory name
+- ✓ Name format is valid (lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens)
+- ✓ Description length is appropriate (1-1024 characters)
+- ✓ Optional directories are present
+
+## Skill Structure
+
+A properly structured skill follows this format:
+
+```
+skill-name/
+├── SKILL.md          # Required: metadata + instructions
+├── scripts/          # Optional: executable code
+├── references/       # Optional: documentation
+├── assets/           # Optional: templates, resources
+└── ...               # Any additional files
+```
+
+## SKILL.md Format
+
+The `SKILL.md` file must contain YAML frontmatter followed by Markdown content:
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: skill-name
+description: Brief description of what this skill does and when to use it
+license: MIT
+metadata:
+  author: Your Name
+  version: "1.0.0"
+---
+
+# Skill Title
+
+Detailed description and instructions...
+```
+
+### Frontmatter Fields
+
+| Field | Required | Description |
+|-------|----------|-------------|
+| `name` | Yes | Skill name (lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens, 1-64 chars) |
+| `description` | Yes | What the skill does and when to use it (1-1024 chars) |
+| `license` | No | License name or reference |
+| `metadata` | No | Additional key-value metadata |
+
+### Best Practices for SKILL.md
+
+1. **Name**: Use lowercase alphanumeric characters and hyphens only
+2. **Description**: Be specific about functionality and use cases
+3. **Documentation**: Include clear instructions and examples
+4. **Progressive Disclosure**: Keep main file concise, move details to references/
+
+## Examples
+
+### Creating a BDD Testing Skill
+
+```bash
+# Create the skill
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_skill.sh bdd-testing
+
+# Edit the SKILL.md
+# Add BDD-specific instructions, commands, and workflows
+
+# Validate the skill
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/bdd-testing
+```
+
+### Creating a Database Migration Skill
+
+```bash
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_skill.sh database-migrations
+
+# Add migration scripts to scripts/
+# Add documentation to references/
+# Add SQL templates to assets/
+
+# Validate
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/database-migrations
+```
+
+### Creating a Composite Testing Skill
+
+```bash
+# Create a composite skill combining BDD, unit, and integration testing
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_composite_skill.sh fullstack-testing \
+  bdd_testing unit_testing integration_testing
+
+# Customize the workflow
+# Edit .vibe/skills/fullstack-testing/scripts/main.sh
+
+# Validate the composite skill
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/fullstack-testing
+
+# Run the complete testing workflow
+.vibe/skills/fullstack-testing/scripts/main.sh
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Skill name doesn't match directory name"
+
+The validator converts underscores to hyphens when comparing names. Ensure:
+- Your skill directory name uses underscores (e.g., `my_skill`)
+- The `name` field in SKILL.md uses hyphens (e.g., `my-skill`)
+
+### "Description must be 1-1024 characters"
+
+Update the description field in SKILL.md to be more concise or more detailed as needed.
+
+### "Invalid characters in skill name"
+
+Skill names can only contain:
+- Lowercase letters (a-z)
+- Numbers (0-9)
+- Hyphens (-)
+- No spaces, uppercase letters, or special characters
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Templates
+
+You can modify the templates in the skill_creator scripts to match your team's preferences:
+- Edit `create_skill.sh` to change the SKILL.md template
+- Add additional directories or files as needed
+- Customize the example scripts and reference files
+
+### Integration with CI/CD
+
+Add skill validation to your CI/CD pipeline:
+
+```bash
+# In your test script
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/my_skill || exit 1
+```

+```bash
+# Create the skill
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_skill.sh bdd-testing
+
+# Edit the SKILL.md with BDD-specific content
+# Add testing scripts to scripts/
+# Add documentation to references/
+
+# Validate the skill
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/bdd-testing
+```
+
+### Create a Database Migration Skill
+
+```bash
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_skill.sh database-migrations
+
+# Add migration scripts

+
+# Validate
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/database-migrations
+```
+
+## Best Practices Implemented
+
+### From Official Documentation
+- **Start from real expertise**: Skills based on actual project knowledge
+- **Refine with execution**: Test and improve based on real usage
+- **Spend context wisely**: Focus on what agent wouldn't know
+- **Design coherent units**: One skill = one class of problems
+- **Instruction patterns**: Gotchas, templates, checklists, validation loops
+- **Control calibration**: Match specificity to task fragility
+- **Progressive disclosure**: Keep SKILL.md concise
+
+### Additional Enhancements
+- **Validation scripts**: Ensure specification compliance
+- **Comprehensive templates**: Ready-to-use skill scaffolds
+- **Detailed documentation**: Usage guides and best practices
+- **Error handling**: Clear error messages and guidance
+
+## Testing and Validation
+
+The skill_creator has been tested with:
+- ✅ Self-validation (validates its own structure)
+- ✅ Creation of test skills (bdd-testing)
+- ✅ Validation of created skills
+- ✅ Compliance with Agent Skills specification
+- ✅ Integration with project workflows
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Use skill_creator for new skills**: Always start with the scaffold
+2. **Follow best practices**: Reference BEST_PRACTICES.md during development
+3. **Validate before use**: Run validation script on all skills
+4. **Iterate and improve**: Refine skills based on real execution
+5. **Share knowledge**: Add project-specific gotchas and patterns
+
+## Benefits
+
+- **Consistency**: All skills follow the same structure and format
+- **Quality**: Built-in best practices ensure high-quality skills
+- **Speed**: Quick scaffold generation saves development time
+- **Compliance**: Automatic validation ensures specification compliance
+- **Maintainability**: Clear structure makes skills easier to update
+
+The skill_creator provides a solid foundation for building a library of high-quality, specification-compliant skills for the DanceLessonsCoach project.

+# Skill Creation Best Practices
+
+Based on the [Agent Skills Best Practices Guide](https://agentskills.io/skill-creation/best-practices)
+
+## Core Principles
+
+### Start from Real Expertise
+
+Effective skills are grounded in real domain knowledge, not generic LLM knowledge. Feed project-specific context into the creation process.
+
+**Sources of expertise:**
+- Hands-on task completion with agent assistance
+- Project artifacts (runbooks, API specs, schemas)
+- Code review comments and issue trackers
+- Version control history and patches
+- Real-world failure cases and resolutions
+
+### Refine with Real Execution
+
+Test skills against real tasks and refine based on execution traces. Look for:
+- False positives (skill activating when it shouldn't)
+- Missed steps or edge cases
+- Unproductive paths (agent trying multiple approaches)
+- Context overload (too much irrelevant information)
+
+## Context Management
+
+### Spend Context Wisely
+
+Every token in your skill competes for attention in the agent's context window.
+
+**Add what the agent lacks:**
+- Project-specific conventions
+- Domain-specific procedures
+- Non-obvious edge cases
+- Specific tools/APIs to use
+
+**Omit what the agent knows:**
+- Basic concepts (what is a PDF, HTTP, database)
+- Generic best practices
+- Obvious implementation details
+
+### Design Coherent Units
+
+Skills should encapsulate a coherent unit of work that composes well with others:
+- **Too narrow**: Multiple skills needed for one task
+- **Too broad**: Hard to activate precisely
+- **Just right**: One skill handles one class of problems
+
+### Aim for Moderate Detail
+
+Concise, stepwise guidance with working examples outperforms exhaustive documentation.
+
+## Instruction Patterns
+
+### Gotchas Sections
+
+List environment-specific facts that defy reasonable assumptions:
+
+```markdown
+## Gotchas
+
+- The `users` table uses soft deletes (add `WHERE deleted_at IS NULL`)
+- User ID is `user_id` in DB, `uid` in auth service, `accountId` in billing API
+- `/health` returns 200 even when DB is down (use `/ready` for full health check)
+```
+
+### Templates for Output Format
+
+Provide concrete format examples rather than prose descriptions:
+
+```markdown
+## Report Structure

+```
+
+### Checklists for Multi-Step Workflows
+
+```markdown
+## Deployment Workflow
+
+Progress:
+- [ ] Step 1: Run tests
+- [ ] Step 2: Build artifacts
+- [ ] Step 3: Validate configuration
+- [ ] Step 4: Deploy to staging
+- [ ] Step 5: Run smoke tests
+```
+
+### Validation Loops
+
+```markdown
+## Code Review Process
+
+1. Make changes
+2. Run linter: `npm run lint`
+3. If errors: fix and re-lint
+4. Run tests: `npm test`
+5. If failures: fix and re-test
+6. Only commit when all checks pass
+```
+
+### Plan-Validate-Execute Pattern
+
+```markdown
+## Database Migration
+
+1. Generate migration plan: `migrate plan`
+2. Review plan against schema
+3. Validate: `migrate validate`
+4. If invalid: revise and re-validate
+5. Execute: `migrate apply`
+```
+
+## Control Calibration
+
+### Match Specificity to Fragility
+
+**Give freedom** when multiple approaches are valid:
+```markdown
+## Code Review
+
+Check for:
+- SQL injection vulnerabilities
+- Proper authentication
+- Race conditions
+- PII in error messages
+```
+
+**Be prescriptive** when operations are fragile:
+```markdown
+## Database Migration
+
+Run exactly:
+```bash
+python scripts/migrate.py --verify --backup
+```
+
+Do not modify this command.
+```
+
+### Provide Defaults, Not Menus
+
+```markdown
+<!-- Avoid -->
+You can use pypdf, pdfplumber, PyMuPDF, or pdf2image...
+
+<!-- Better -->
+Use pdfplumber for text extraction:
+
+```python
+import pdfplumber
+```
+
+For scanned PDFs, use pdf2image with pytesseract.
+```
+
+### Favor Procedures Over Declarations
+
+Teach *how to approach* problems, not *what to produce*:
+
+```markdown
+<!-- Avoid -->
+Join orders to customers on customer_id, filter region='EMEA', sum amount.
+
+<!-- Better -->
+1. Read schema from references/schema.yaml
+2. Join tables using _id foreign keys
+3. Apply user filters as WHERE clauses
+4. Aggregate and format as markdown table
+```
+
+## Progressive Disclosure
+
+### Keep SKILL.md Under 500 Lines
+
+Move detailed reference material to separate files in `references/`:
+
+```
+skill-name/
+├── SKILL.md              # Core instructions (<500 lines)
+├── references/
+│   ├── api-spec.md       # Detailed API documentation
+│   ├── error-codes.md    # Error code reference
+│   └── schemas/          # Data schemas
+└── scripts/
+    └── validate.sh       # Validation script
+```
+
+### Load Context on Demand
+
+Tell the agent *when* to load reference files:
+
+```markdown
+Read references/api-errors.md if the API returns non-200 status.
+```
+
+## Skill Structure Checklist
+
+### Required Elements
+- [ ] `SKILL.md` with valid YAML frontmatter
+- [ ] `name` field (lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens, 1-64 chars)
+- [ ] `description` field (1-1024 chars, specific about what/when)
+- [ ] Clear instructions in Markdown body
+
+### Recommended Elements
+- [ ] `license` field
+- [ ] `metadata` with author/version
+- [ ] `scripts/` directory for reusable code
+- [ ] `references/` directory for detailed docs
+- [ ] `assets/` directory for templates/resources
+
+### Validation Checklist
+- [ ] Skill name matches directory name (underscores → hyphens)
+- [ ] Description is specific and actionable
+- [ ] Instructions focus on what agent wouldn't know
+- [ ] Gotchas section for non-obvious issues
+- [ ] Examples provided for key workflows
+- [ ] Progressive disclosure used for large skills
+- [ ] Validation loops for critical operations
+
+## Iteration Process
+
+1. **Create initial draft** from real expertise
+2. **Test against real tasks** 
+3. **Review execution traces** for inefficiencies
+4. **Refine instructions** based on observations
+5. **Add gotchas** from corrections made
+6. **Validate** with skill_creator
+7. **Repeat** until performance is satisfactory
+
+## Common Anti-Patterns
+
+### ❌ Generic Advice
+```markdown
+Handle errors appropriately and follow best practices.
+```
+
+### ✅ Specific Guidance
+```markdown
+Check for HTTP 429 errors and implement exponential backoff:
+
+```python
+import time
+import requests
+
+for attempt in range(5):
+    try:
+        response = requests.get(url, timeout=10)
+        break
+    except requests.HTTPError as e:
+        if e.response.status_code == 429:
+            time.sleep(2 ** attempt)
+        else:
+            raise
+```
+```
+
+### ❌ Overly Broad Scope
+```markdown
+This skill handles all database operations including queries, migrations, backups, and administration.
+```
+
+### ✅ Focused Scope
+```markdown
+This skill handles database query optimization for read-heavy workloads on PostgreSQL 14+.
+```
+
+### ❌ Menu of Options
+```markdown
+You can use any of these libraries: pandas, numpy, polars, or vaex.
+```
+
+### ✅ Clear Default
+```markdown
+Use polars for DataFrame operations:
+
+```python
+import polars as pl
+df = pl.read_csv("data.csv")
+```
+
+For pandas compatibility, use the .to_pandas() method.
+```

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Component Skill Issues
+
+If you encounter issues with a specific component:
+
+1. **Check the component skill directly**:
+   ```bash
+   .vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/[component]
+   ```
+
+2. **Review component documentation**:
+   ```bash
+   cat .vibe/skills/[component]/README.md
+   ```
+
+3. **Test component independently**:
+   ```bash
+   .vibe/skills/[component]/scripts/test.sh
+   ```
+
+### Composite Skill Issues
+
+If the composite skill itself has issues:
+
+1. **Validate the composite structure**:
+   ```bash
+   .vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/${COMPOSITE_NAME_HYPHENATED}
+   ```
+
+2. **Check component compatibility**:
+   ```bash
+   # Verify all components are present and valid
+   for skill in ${COMPONENT_SKILLS[@]}; do
+       .vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/$skill

+
+## Overview
+
+This guide explains how to integrate the ${COMPOSITE_NAME_HYPHENATED} composite skill with your workflows and systems.
+
+## Integration Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Direct Usage
+
+```bash
+# Run the complete workflow
+.vibe/skills/${COMPOSITE_NAME_HYPHENATED}/scripts/main.sh
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Selective Usage
+
+```bash
+# Use only specific components
+.vibe/skills/${COMPONENT_SKILLS[0]}/scripts/script.sh
+.vibe/skills/${COMPONENT_SKILLS[1]}/scripts/script.sh
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Programmatic Integration
+
+```go
+// Call from Go code
+package main
+
+import (
+    "os"
+    "os/exec"
+)
+
+func runCompositeSkill() error {
+    cmd := exec.Command(".vibe/skills/${COMPOSITE_NAME_HYPHENATED}/scripts/main.sh")
+    cmd.Stdout = os.Stdout
+    cmd.Stderr = os.Stderr
+    return cmd.Run()
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: CI/CD Integration
+
+```yaml
+# GitHub Actions example
+- name: Run composite skill
+  run: .vibe/skills/${COMPOSITE_NAME_HYPHENATED}/scripts/main.sh
+```
+
+## Customization
+
+### Adding New Components
+
+To add a new skill to the composite:
+
+1. **Update SKILL.md**:
+   ```yaml
+   metadata:
+     composes:
+       - existing-skill
+       - new-skill  # Add this
+   ```
+
+2. **Update main.sh**:
+   ```bash
+   # Add step to execute new-skill
+   echo "  Step X: Running new-skill"
+   .vibe/skills/new-skill/scripts/main.sh
+   ```
+
+3. **Document the component**:
+   ```markdown
+   ### new-skill
+   
+   [Description of what new-skill contributes]
+   ```
+
+### Modifying Workflow
+
+To change the execution order or add conditional logic:
+
+```bash
+# Example: Conditional execution
+if [ "$SKIP_STEP" != "true" ]; then
+    echo "  Running optional component"
+    .vibe/skills/optional-skill/scripts/main.sh
+fi
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Set configuration via environment variables
+export COMPOSITE_CONFIG="value"
+.vibe/skills/${COMPOSITE_NAME_HYPHENATED}/scripts/main.sh
+```
+
+### Configuration File
+
+```yaml
+# config.yaml
+composite:
+  ${COMPOSITE_NAME_HYPHENATED}:
+    enabled: true
+    components:
+      ${COMPONENT_SKILLS[0]}:
+        config: value1
+      ${COMPONENT_SKILLS[1]}:
+        config: value2
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Start Simple
+
+Begin with a basic composite and add complexity as needed.
+
+### 2. Validate Components
+
+Always validate component skills before creating composites.
+
+### 3. Document Dependencies
+
+Clearly document all dependencies and requirements.
+
+### 4. Test Incrementally
+
+Test each component and the composite as a whole.
+
+### 5. Provide Escape Hatches
+
+Allow users to access individual components when needed.
+
+### 6. Monitor Performance
+
+Track execution time and resource usage.
+
+### 7. Plan for Updates
+
+Consider how component updates affect the composite.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Component Not Found
+
+**Error:** `skill not found: missing-skill`
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Verify the skill exists
+2. Check the skill name spelling
+3. Ensure the skill is in the correct directory
+
+### Version Mismatch
+
+**Error:** `version mismatch: expected >=1.0.0, found 0.9.0`
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Update the component skill
+2. Adjust version requirements
+3. Check compatibility
+
+### Circular Dependencies
+
+**Error:** `circular dependency detected: skill-a → skill-b → skill-a`
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Restructure the composite
+2. Remove circular references
+3. Use intermediate skills if needed
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+**Symptom:** Composite execution is slow
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Profile execution time
+2. Optimize component skills
+3. Run components in parallel (if possible)
+4. Cache intermediate results
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Testing Composite
+
+```bash
+# Create a testing composite
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_composite_skill.sh \
+  fullstack-testing \
+  bdd_testing \
+  unit_testing \
+  integration_testing
+
+# Run the testing workflow
+.vibe/skills/fullstack-testing/scripts/main.sh
+```
+
+### Example 2: Deployment Composite
+
+```bash
+# Create a deployment composite
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_composite_skill.sh \
+  ci-cd-pipeline \
+  build \
+  test \
+  package \
+  deploy \
+  monitor
+
+# Run the deployment pipeline
+.vibe/skills/ci-cd-pipeline/scripts/main.sh
+```
+
+## Advanced Patterns
+
+### Dynamic Composition
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Dynamically compose skills based on requirements
+
+REQUIRED_SKILLS=()
+
+if [ "$NEED_TESTING" = "true" ]; then
+    REQUIRED_SKILLS+=("bdd_testing" "unit_testing")
+fi
+
+if [ "$NEED_DEPLOYMENT" = "true" ]; then
+    REQUIRED_SKILLS+=("deployment" "monitoring")
+fi
+
+# Create dynamic composite
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_composite_skill.sh \
+  dynamic-workflow \
+  "${REQUIRED_SKILLS[@]}"
+```
+
+### Conditional Execution
+
+```bash
+# main.sh with conditional logic
+if [ "$SKIP_TESTS" = "true" ]; then
+    echo "Skipping tests"
+else
+    echo "Running tests"
+    .vibe/skills/bdd_testing/scripts/run-tests.sh
+fi
+```
+
+### Parallel Execution
+
+```bash
+# Run components in parallel (when possible)
+echo "Running components in parallel..."
+
+.vibe/skills/component1/scripts/main.sh &
+COMPONENT1_PID=$!
+
+.vibe/skills/component2/scripts/main.sh &
+COMPONENT2_PID=$!
+
+wait $COMPONENT1_PID $COMPONENT2_PID
+
+echo "All components completed"
+```
+

+3. **Configure appropriately** for your use case
+4. **Monitor execution** for performance and errors
+5. **Update components** to get the latest features
+6. **Document customizations** for team reference
+7. **Test changes** before deploying to production
+8. **Share feedback** to improve the composite skill
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| Component not found | Verify skill exists and is valid |
+| Version mismatch | Update component or adjust requirements |
+| Permission denied | Check file permissions |
+| Slow execution | Optimize components or run in parallel |
+
+### Debugging
+
+```bash
+# Validate the composite skill
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/${COMPOSITE_NAME_HYPHENATED}
+
+# Validate individual components
+for skill in ${COMPONENT_SKILLS[@]}; do
+    .vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/$skill
+done
+
+# Run with verbose logging
+DEBUG=true .vibe/skills/${COMPOSITE_NAME_HYPHENATED}/scripts/main.sh
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### Extending the Composite
+
+To add new components:
+
+1. **Update SKILL.md**: Add to the `composes` list
+2. **Update main.sh**: Add execution step
+3. **Document**: Add component description
+4. **Test**: Verify the updated workflow
+
+### Customizing Workflow
+
+Modify `scripts/main.sh` to:
+- Change execution order
+- Add conditional logic
+- Implement parallel execution
+- Add custom validation
+
+### Testing
+
+```bash
+# Test the composite skill
+.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/${COMPOSITE_NAME_HYPHENATED}
+
+# Test individual components
+for skill in ${COMPONENT_SKILLS[@]}; do
+    .vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/$skill
+done
