tap and tape have t.teardown which is like an "after" - but i'm not sure what the benefit of t.before(f) would be, since you can just f() directly.

I presume you mean you could do something like

it('whatever', () => {
  const mocks = f();
});

f() does consolidate the code but it lacks the orchestration (resetting mocks etc).

It also makes a very common need manually repeated.

I’m confused; there’s only one t per suite (subtests are a different one), so how would t.before(f) and f() be any different?

[JakobJingleheimer]

Now I'm confused. Why are you talking about t.before?

Now that i understand the terms, this seems like a great idea.
