MIMIC QA Tester

This skill guides you through a comprehensive QA test suite for the MIMIC extension.

Test Areas

1. Shell Integration (Real-time Perception)

Goal: Verify that terminal commands are captured in ~/.mimic/events.jsonl.

Steps:

1. Run the test script below to simulate shell commands.
2. Check if the commands appear in the log file.

# Run simulation script
./.agent/skills/mimic-qa/scripts/test_shell.sh

Expected Result:

• Script executes echo "MIMIC_QA_TEST_$(date)".
• tail ~/.mimic/events.jsonl shows a new line with that command.

2. Analysis Engine

Goal: Verify that patterns are analyzed.

Steps:

1. Open Command Palette.
2. Run MIMIC: Analyze Patterns.

Expected Result:

• Notification "MIMIC: Pattern analysis..." appears.
• New insight files (*.md) appear in ~/.mimic/insights/ (if enough events exist).

3. Skill Synthesis

Goal: Verify skill generation.

Steps:

1. Check Sidebar "Synthesize Shell Script" button.
2. If disabled, hover to see "Need X more insights".
3. If enabled, click it.

Expected Result:

• A new editor tab opens with a generated shell script or markdown file.
