Run an MCP usability pass
Exercise Focus the way an agent uses it: bootstrap, discovery, retrieval, governance, and duplicate-safe save flows.
When to Use This Skill
Use this after MCP changes, retrieval tuning, or when Focus feels awkward and needs a practical end-to-end usability check.
Workflow Overview
- Initialize an MCP session and verify the manifest loads.
- Start with workspace bootstrap and wing or room discovery for the area you care about.
- Run a realistic context question and inspect whether durable memories lead the results.
- Test governance and duplicate-safe save flows with dry-run mode.
- Record any friction as a concrete follow-up item instead of a vague usability complaint.
Examples
- Do a live MCP usability pass for Microsoft-related memories.
- Check whether duplicate-safe save catches an Entra mailbox draft.
- Verify context.inspect leads with durable memory instead of code graph noise.
