From 2c8afec20552c73f20ef85ff55e0e98fb4a460f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: HiranoMasaaki Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2026 07:27:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] refactor(create-expert): replace unverifiable quality criteria with concrete checks MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Update FUNCTIONAL_MANAGER_INSTRUCTION and USABILITY_MANAGER_INSTRUCTION to use concrete, verifiable criteria instead of vague descriptions. FUNCTIONAL_MANAGER changes: - "Core functionality works as expected" → specific checks for user properties, attemptCompletion, no errors - "Errors are graceful with helpful messages" → checks for "To fix:" guidance, no crashes, clear reporting - "Security boundaries are maintained" → checks for instruction protection, workspace isolation, role maintenance USABILITY_MANAGER changes: - Remove time-based criteria ("2 minutes", "5 minutes") that can't be tested - "Demo works zero-config" → specific checks for no .env, no API keys, embedded data - "Setup efficiency" → checks for detection, clear instructions, validation - "Error guidance" → checks for "To fix:", explanation, next steps - "Doctor diagnostics" → checks for env vars, connectivity, fix instructions Aligns with Best Practice #4 "Keep It Verifiable" - anyone reading these criteria can determine if they pass or fail.
