## 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― Next Session Goals
### Priority 1: Test Coverage (Critical)
1. **Investigate Coverage Issue**: Understand why 139 tests only show 2% coverage
2. **Fix Import Paths**: Ensure tests actually execute the code they're testing
3. **Run Coverage Report**: Generate detailed HTML coverage report
4. **Target**: Achieve 30% actual code coverage
### Priority 2: Examples & Distribution
5. **Create Examples Directory**:
- `examples/01_system_info.py` - Basic system information query
- `examples/02_archive_creation.py` - Create archive with exclusions
- `examples/03_powershell_automation.py` - PowerShell script execution
- `examples/04_service_management.py` - Windows service operations
- `examples/05_event_log_query.py` - Event log querying
6. **PyPI Preparation**:
- Verify `pyproject.toml` completeness
- Test local installation: `pip install -e .`
- Build package: `python -m build`
- Upload to Test PyPI first
### Priority 3: Documentation
7. **API Documentation**: Generate from docstrings
8. **Update Glama.ai**: Add new features and MCPB support
9. **Create CHANGELOG.md**: Document version history
