# Persona Testing Flow Documentation ## Overview This document outlines the testing flow for the persona content pack system quality-of-life improvements implemented in this project. ## Quality-of-Life Improvements Implemented ### 1. Enhanced `persona --help` Command - **Added Persona Directory Information**: Shows directory lookup precedence - **Added Available Commands Section**: Clear descriptions of all persona commands - **Updated Examples**: Include the new `inspect` command ### 2. New `persona inspect <persona-name>` Command - **Shows MCP Configuration Location**: Displays path to `mcp.json` file - **Prints Complete MCP Configuration**: Outputs full JSON to stdout for easy copying/piping - **Lists All Toolsets**: Shows tool counts and marks default toolsets with `*` - **Displays Metadata**: Author, version, creation date, tags - **Shows MCP Server Names**: All configured servers with their command configurations ### 3. Enhanced `persona list` Command - **Shows Equipped/Active Status**: `[ACTIVE]` marker for currently active persona - **Lists MCP Server Names**: All servers for each persona - **Shows Toolset Names**: With tool counts in format `toolset-name(count)` - **Marks Default Toolsets**: Uses `*` to indicate default toolset - **Enhanced Display Format**: Multi-line format with details ## Testing Flow ### Setup Test Environment ```bash # 1. Rebuild project to include changes just rebuild # 2. Setup test personas (copies fixtures to personas/ directory) just persona-setup-real # 3. Add personas to the system (required for discovery) node dist/bin.js persona add ./personas/valid-persona node dist/bin.js persona add ./personas/complex-persona ``` ### Test Enhanced Help ```bash # Test the enhanced help command node dist/bin.js persona --help ``` **Expected Output:** - Persona Directory section showing lookup precedence - Available Commands section with descriptions - Examples including new inspect command ### Test Inspect Command ```bash # Test the new inspect command node dist/bin.js persona inspect valid-persona ``` **Expected Output:** - Basic persona details (name, description, version, path, validity) - Metadata section (author, creation date, tags) - Toolsets section with tool counts and default marking - MCP Configuration section showing: - Config file location - Number of servers configured - Individual server configurations - Complete MCP configuration JSON printed to stdout ### Test Enhanced List Command ```bash # Test the enhanced list command node dist/bin.js persona list ``` **Expected Output:** - Discovery summary with active persona information - Enhanced persona listing showing: - Validation status (✓/✗) - Active status [ACTIVE] marker if activated - Persona type [folder]/[archive] - Description - Toolsets with counts: `toolset-name*(count)` (* = default) - MCP Servers: `server1, server2, server3` ### Test Equipped Status ```bash # Activate a persona to test equipped status node dist/bin.js persona activate valid-persona # List to see [ACTIVE] marker node dist/bin.js persona list # Check status node dist/bin.js persona status ``` ## Implementation Details ### Files Modified - `src/commands/persona/index.ts` - Main persona CLI commands - Enhanced `createPersonaCommand()` help text - Added `createInspectCommand()` - Enhanced `createListCommand()` with detailed information loading ### Key Features Added #### Enhanced Display Format ``` ✓ valid-persona [ACTIVE] [folder] - A complete valid persona for testing Toolsets: development*(4), testing(2) | MCP Servers: git, docker, filesystem ``` #### Complete MCP Configuration Output The `inspect` command outputs the full MCP configuration JSON to stdout, making it easy to: - Copy configuration for debugging - Pipe to other tools: `persona inspect valid-persona | jq .` - Understand server setup at a glance #### Active Status Detection Both `list` and `inspect` commands detect and display which persona is currently active/equipped. ### Error Handling - Graceful handling of missing personas with helpful suggestions - Robust loading that continues if some personas fail to load - Clear error messages with actionable guidance ## Additional Quality-of-Life Improvements (Phase 2) ### 4. Beginner-Friendly Colorized Help - **3-Step Setup Guide**: Clear, numbered steps for first-time users - **Colorized Output**: Uses theme colors (warning, info, muted) for visual hierarchy - **Clear Value Proposition**: Explains what persona content packs are and why they're useful ### 5. Environment Variable Detection and Configuration - **Automatic Detection**: Scans `mcp.json` files for any environment variables - **Interactive Configuration**: Uses inquirer.js for user-friendly prompts - **Real-time Updates**: Writes configured values directly to `mcp.json` files - **Smart Guidance**: Shows which servers need configuration and what variables ### 6. Drastically Simplified Output - **Noise Reduction**: Reduced installation output from ~25 lines to ~6 lines of essentials - **Debug-Level Logging**: Moved verbose installer logs from info to debug level - **Focus on Essentials**: Only shows what the user needs to know: - What was installed and where - What needs configuration (if any) - How to start using it ### Enhanced Testing Commands ```bash # Test the complete clean installation flow just persona-test-complex-clean # This command: # 1. Cleans up any existing installation # 2. Installs complex-persona (which has env vars) # 3. Shows the clean, simplified output # 4. Demonstrates environment variable detection # 5. Shows the inspect command with full config ``` ### Interactive Environment Variable Configuration Flow ```bash # During installation, if env vars are detected: ⚙️ Configuration needed: git: GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL database: DB_HOST, DB_PORT ? Configure now? (Y/n) ? git.GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL: /etc/gitconfig ? database.DB_HOST: localhost ? database.DB_PORT: 5432 ✅ Configured! Run: hypertool persona activate complex-persona Config: /Users/user/.toolprint/hypertool-mcp/personas/complex-persona/mcp.json ``` ## Testing Results ✅ **All six quality-of-life improvements successfully implemented and tested** ### Core Features (Phase 1) 1. **Enhanced Help**: Shows directory info and command descriptions 2. **Inspect Command**: Displays complete persona details including MCP config location and full JSON output 3. **Enhanced List**: Shows MCP servers, toolsets, and equipped status with rich formatting ### User Experience Enhancements (Phase 2) 4. **Beginner-Friendly Help**: Colorized 3-step setup guide for first-time users 5. **Environment Variable Configuration**: Interactive detection and configuration of MCP env vars 6. **Simplified Output**: Clean, essential-only output with debug-level verbose logging ### Key Benefits - **First-Time User Friendly**: Clear onboarding with 3-step guide and colorized help - **Professional UX**: Clean, noise-free output focused on what users actually need - **Smart Configuration**: Automatic detection and interactive setup of environment variables - **Complete Transparency**: Full MCP config inspection and location visibility - **Enhanced Discoverability**: Rich listing with server, toolset, and status information The persona system now provides a professional, user-friendly experience for managing persona content packs with comprehensive automation for configuration and setup.
