Adds a new semantic anchor for Gherkin, the DSL created by Aslak Hellesøy for writing human-readable, machine-executable behavior specifications (Feature/Scenario/Given-When-Then), used by Cucumber, SpecFlow, Behave, etc.

Changes

  • docs/anchors/gherkin.adoc — English anchor covering core concepts (Feature, Scenario, Given-When-Then, Background, Scenario Outline, natural language support), proponent, when to use, and cross-references to bdd-given-when-then, ears-requirements, tdd-london-school
  • docs/anchors/gherkin.de.adoc — German translation
  • website/public/data/anchors.json — Metadata entry (category: testing-quality, regenerated via extract-metadata.js)
  • skill/semantic-anchor-translator/references/catalog.md — Added to Testing & Quality section of the agent skill catalog
