+## `assert`
+
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+An object whose methods are used to configure available assertions on the
+`TestContext` objects in the current process. The methods from `node:assert`
+and snapshot testing functions are available by default.
+
+It is possible to apply the same configuration to all files by placing common
+configuration code in a module
+preloaded with `--require` or `--import`.
+
+### `assert.register(name, fn)`
+
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+Defines a new assertion function with the provided name and function. If an
+assertion already exists with the same name, it is overwritten.
+
 ## `snapshot`
