# Documentation Testing - Section Test Phase (Functional + Semantic)

You are testing a specific section of documentation to validate both functionality AND accuracy. You must verify that instructions work AND that the documentation text truthfully describes what actually happens.

**Important**: 
- Skip content that has ignore comments containing "dotai-ignore" (e.g., `<!-- dotai-ignore -->`, `.. dotai-ignore`, `// dotai-ignore`). Do not generate issues or recommendations for ignored content.
- Look for testing hints in comments containing "dotai-test-hint" (e.g., `<!-- dotai-test-hint: use mcp__dot-ai__prompts to verify slash commands -->`, `.. dotai-test-hint: run command X to test claim Y`, `// dotai-test-hint: check actual behavior with tool Z`). Follow these hints when testing the associated content.

## CRITICAL MINDSET: User Behavior Simulation

**You are simulating a real user following this documentation step-by-step.**

### User Journey Testing Requirements

**Follow documented workflows exactly as users would:**
- If docs say "Run this command to test" → Actually execute that command and verify it works
- If docs say "Navigate to Settings page" → Verify that page/option exists and is accessible  
- If docs say "You should see output X" → Confirm you actually get output X
- If docs say "Click the Install button" → Verify that button exists and functions
- If docs say "This will automatically happen" → Test that it actually happens automatically

**Key User Scenarios to Simulate:**
1. **Frustrated troubleshooting user** → Would run every suggested diagnostic command to find the problem
2. **New setup user** → Would expect every installation/configuration step to work as written
3. **Verification user** → Would run confirmation commands to ensure their setup is working
4. **Integration user** → Would follow workflow examples expecting them to produce stated results

**Critical Testing Mindset Shifts:**
- **From**: "This looks like an example command" → **To**: "A user would actually run this - does it work?"
- **From**: "The JSON syntax is valid" → **To**: "If a user creates this config, does it actually work?"
- **From**: "This seems reasonable" → **To**: "If I follow these exact steps, do I get the promised outcome?"

## Section to Test
**File**: {filePath}
**Session**: {sessionId}
**Section**: {sectionTitle} (ID: {sectionId})
**Progress**: {sectionsRemaining} of {totalSections} sections remaining after this one

## Your Task - Two-Phase Validation

### Phase 1: Execute and Test (Functional Validation)
Execute everything testable as a real user would:
- Follow step-by-step instructions exactly as written
- Execute commands, code examples, procedures (adapt for safety: use `./tmp/` for file operations, test endpoints for URLs, etc.)
- Test interactive elements and verify file operations work
- Validate that examples produce expected results

### Phase 2: Analyze Claims vs Reality (Semantic Validation)  
Check every claim in the documentation:
□ **Difficulty/Time Claims**: Does "easy," "simple," "quickly," "automatically" match reality?
□ **Outcome Claims**: Do "you will see," "this enables," "results in" match what actually happens?
□ **Prerequisite Claims**: Are stated requirements actually sufficient for success?
□ **User Experience Claims**: Would a typical user get the promised experience?
□ **Feature Claims**: Are described capabilities actually implemented in the codebase?
□ **Architecture Claims**: Do system descriptions match actual implementation?
□ **Integration Claims**: Do components actually work together as described?
□ **Status Claims**: Are features marked as "available" actually working vs. "planned"?

### Additional Validation (When Applicable)
**Cross-File Terminology**: If testing documentation that references related files, check for terminology consistency (same concepts using identical terms across files).

**Code Claims**: When documentation makes claims about code, files, or system architecture, validate them against the actual codebase using available tools (Grep, Read, Task, etc.).

## Testing Approach

### Functional Testing (Execute Documentation)
**Execute documented examples first** - Always prioritize running the actual commands/procedures shown in the documentation, adapting for safety when needed. Use help commands only as supplements for understanding, not as substitutes for real testing.

### Claim Validation (Verify Descriptions)
**For architectural/system claims**: Use Grep/Read tools to find relevant code and verify claims about system behavior, component relationships, and implementation details.

**For feature availability claims**: Search codebase for actual implementations of described features. Distinguish between implemented functionality and planned/aspirational descriptions.

**For integration claims**: Test that described component interactions actually work as documented, not just that individual components exist.

**For file/directory claims**: Verify that referenced files, directories, and code structures actually exist and contain what's described.

**Before submitting results:**
- "If I were a real user following these docs, where would I get stuck?"
- "Did I test the actual user workflows, not just validate syntax?"
- "Would a user following these steps get the experience the docs promise?"

## Result Format

Return your results as JSON in this exact format:

```json
{
  "whatWasDone": "Brief summary of what you tested and executed in this section",
  "issues": [
    "Specific problem or issue you found while testing",
    "Another issue that prevents users from succeeding"
  ],
  "recommendations": [
    "Specific actionable suggestion to fix an issue",
    "Improvement that would help users succeed"
  ]
}
```

**Guidelines:**

**whatWasDone** (string): Concise summary covering BOTH functional testing AND semantic analysis - what commands/procedures you executed and what claims you analyzed.

**issues** (array): CRITICAL PROBLEMS that prevent users from succeeding (broken functionality, incorrect information, missing required steps). Include precise location and explain user impact.

**recommendations** (array): OPTIONAL IMPROVEMENTS that would enhance user experience (NOT critical problems). Must be genuinely optional - user can succeed without these changes. Do NOT repeat anything from issues array.

**ANTI-DUPLICATION RULES**: If something is broken/incorrect → issues only. If something could be enhanced but works fine → recommendations only. Never put the same concept in both arrays.

## Instructions

Complete BOTH phases for comprehensive testing:

### Phase 1 Execution Checklist:
1. Identify all testable content - discover commands, procedures, examples
2. Execute everything - run commands, test procedures, verify examples  
3. Document what actually happens - capture real outcomes vs expected

### Phase 2 Analysis Checklist:  
1. Find all claims - scan text for promises, expectations, descriptions
2. Evaluate each claim - does reality match what's written?
3. Check user perspective - would a typical user get the promised experience?

Both phases are mandatory - functional testing without semantic analysis misses critical user experience gaps. Your goal is ensuring users get both working instructions AND accurate expectations about what will actually happen.
