Quick brief
Use gotestsum when an agent needs to run `go test -json`, summarize failing packages and tests, emit CI-friendly artifacts, and optionally rerun flaky failures before handing a repair loop back to CI. Invoke this instead of plain `go test` when the real job is triage, reporting, and failure-focused supervision around a Go test run, not just executing tests once. The scope boundary is narrow and skill-shaped: gotestsum is the reporting, rerun, and CI-artifact layer for Go test workflows, not a generic Go framework, package manager, or broad test platform listing.
