docs: Add user-facing documentation for MCP Evaluation Framework (PR #1377) #1401
Conversation
Add architectural design documents for power-steering mode that were created during implementation but never committed to the repository. Background: - Power-steering mode was implemented in PR #1351 (issue #1350) - These architectural specs were created during design phase - Never committed, leaving knowledge gap for future maintainers Documentation Added: - POWER_STEERING_SUMMARY.md - Overview and key design decisions - power_steering_architecture.md - Complete system architecture - considerations_format.md - Structure for 21 considerations - control_mechanisms.md - Enable/disable control system - edge_cases.md - Edge case handling and error scenarios - implementation_phases.md - Implementation phases and rollout - power_steering_checker.md - Checker implementation details - power_steering_config.md - Configuration file format - stop_py_integration.md - Integration with stop hook Value: ✅ Preserves architectural knowledge for future maintainers ✅ Documents design decisions and rationale ✅ Explains implementation phases and evolution ✅ Provides configuration and customization guide Related: - Original issue: #1350 (closed) - Implementation PR: #1351 (merged) - Follow-up fix: #1384 (merged) Fixes #1390 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
…1377) Creates comprehensive user documentation to make the MCP Evaluation Framework discoverable and accessible to end users. Without these docs, users cannot find or effectively use the framework introduced in PR #1377. ## New Documentation - docs/mcp_evaluation/README.md: Entry point with quick start guide - docs/mcp_evaluation/USER_GUIDE.md: Complete end-to-end user journey (400+ lines) - README.md: Added MCP Tool Evaluation section with link to docs ## Key Features - Discovery: Main README links to MCP evaluation docs - Orientation: Entry point explains what, why, and who - Tutorial: Step-by-step guide from setup through decision-making - Pirate style: Follows user communication preferences - Philosophy-aligned: Ruthless simplicity and clarity ## Additional Changes Includes pre-commit auto-fixes (formatting, whitespace, end-of-file) applied across the codebase during commit validation. ## Dependencies Documentation references framework code from PR #1377 (feat/mcp-evaluation-framework). Both PRs should be merged together or this PR should wait for #1377. Resolves #1400 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Code Review - PR #1401Ahoy matey! I've completed me thorough review of yer documentation PR fer the MCP Evaluation Framework. Here be me findings: Overall Assessment: REQUEST CHANGESThe documentation be well-written and comprehensive, but there be a CRITICAL BLOCKER: All the referenced implementation files from PR #1377 don't exist yet in the main branch, which will cause broken links when this PR merges.

Summary
Ahoy! This PR adds comprehensive user-facing documentation fer the MCP Evaluation Framework introduced in PR #1377, makin' it discoverable and accessible to end users.
Problem
PR #1377 introduced a powerful Generic MCP Evaluation Framework (38 files, 6,830+ lines), but without user-facing documentation, teams cannot:
The existing docs in
tests/mcp_evaluation/andSpecs/be too technical and internal-focused.Solution
Created three high-impact documentation files:
1. Main README.md Update
2. Entry Point (docs/mcp_evaluation/README.md) - 9.6 KB
3. User Guide (docs/mcp_evaluation/USER_GUIDE.md) - 26 KB
Complete end-to-end journey:
Key Features
✅ Discovery: Main README links to MCP evaluation docs
✅ Orientation: Entry point explains what, why, and who
✅ Tutorial: Step-by-step guide from setup through decision-making
✅ Practical: Real commands, expected outputs, troubleshooting
✅ Philosophy-aligned: Ruthless simplicity and clarity
✅ Pirate style: Follows user communication preferences
Dependencies
