## π¨ Critical Issues to Address
### 1. Test Coverage Reporting (HIGHEST PRIORITY)
**Problem**: Tests are written but coverage shows 2%
**Cause**: Import paths may not be triggering code execution
**Fix**:
- Verify import paths in tests
- Ensure code is actually executed during tests
- Add more unit tests that directly import and test modules
### 2. PyPI Publication (HIGH PRIORITY)
**Problem**: Package not published, users can't install
**Cause**: Haven't run publication process yet
**Fix**:
- Verify `pyproject.toml` metadata
- Test installation locally: `pip install -e .`
- Create distribution: `python -m build`
- Upload to Test PyPI: `twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*`
- Test installation from Test PyPI
- Upload to production PyPI
### 3. Missing Examples (MEDIUM PRIORITY)
**Problem**: No working examples for users
**Cause**: Haven't created examples directory
**Fix**:
- Create `examples/` directory
- Add 5-10 basic scripts
- Add README in examples explaining each
### 4. No Performance Data (MEDIUM PRIORITY)
**Problem**: Claims "high-performance" without proof
**Cause**: No benchmarks run
**Fix**:
- Create `benchmarks/` directory
- Add benchmark scripts for each tool category
- Run benchmarks and document results
- Add to README
### 5. Incomplete Type Hints (LOW PRIORITY)
**Problem**: Not all functions have type hints
**Cause**: Legacy code and rapid development
**Fix**:
- Run `mypy` to find missing hints
- Add type hints incrementally
- Set up `mypy` in CI/CD

## π‘ Key Learnings
### What Worked Well
1. **Systematic Approach**: Following the Gold Standard Plan helped organize work
2. **Test-First Mindset**: Writing comprehensive tests revealed real function signatures
3. **Documentation Fixes**: Fixing examples made the README actually useful
4. **Quick Start Guide**: 5-minute guide makes onboarding easy
### What Needs Improvement
1. **Coverage Measurement**: Need to ensure tests actually execute code
2. **Test Organization**: Some import errors suggest structure issues
3. **CI/CD**: Should be set up early to catch issues automatically
4. **Examples**: Need real-world examples sooner
### Insights
1. **MCP Tool Pattern**: Tools are registered with `@mcp.tool()` decorator, not directly importable
2. **Testing Strategy**: Need to test through tool registration, not direct imports
3. **Documentation Quality**: Examples must match actual code or users get frustrated
4. **Glama.ai Visibility**: Being listed is good, but quality matters for rankings

## π― Tomorrow's Goals
1. β
**Fix Test Coverage**: Reach 30% actual coverage (not just collection)
2. β
**PyPI Ready**: Verify package can be installed
3. β
**Create 3 Examples**: System info, archive creation, PowerShell automation
4. β
**Setup GitHub Actions**: Automated testing workflow
5. β
**Update Glama.ai**: Reflect new test coverage and examples
