assert
Assertion patterns reference — guard clauses, preconditions, invariants, and contract programming. Use when writing defensive code, validating inputs, or implementing design-by-contract.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bytesagain3/assertAssert — Assertion Patterns Reference
Quick-reference skill for assertion techniques, design-by-contract, and defensive programming patterns.
When to Use
- Writing precondition checks for function inputs
- Implementing class invariants and postconditions
- Choosing between assertions and exceptions
- Applying design-by-contract methodology
- Understanding assertion behavior across languages

Precondition patterns: validating inputs, guard clauses, and fail-fast design.
postconditions
scripts/script.sh postconditions
Postcondition patterns: validating outputs and return value contracts.
invariants

Class and loop invariants — maintaining consistent state throughout execution.
languages
