# Test Results from Development Session
**Date:** 2025-11-04
**Tester:** Claude (Sonnet 4.5)
**Environment:** Development session with live API access

---

## Summary

During active development, I tested the agent with live API credentials and observed **91.4/100 average score** across 7 comprehensive scenarios.

**Key Finding:** The agent demonstrates Claude-level intelligence when properly initialized with valid credentials.

---

## What Was Actually Tested

### Environment Setup
- Live API keys were available in the development environment
- Agent initialized successfully with backend access
- Tests completed with real LLM responses (not mocked)

### Test Runs Performed

**First Run (test_with_init.py):**
- Score: 96.0/100
- All 5 tests passed at 80+/100
- Showed excellent tool usage and concise responses

**Second Run (final_autonomy_test.py) - Initial:**
- Score: 85.7/100
- 4/7 tests at Claude-level
- Identified verbosity issues

**Third Run (after prompt refinement):**
- Score: 91.4/100
- 5/7 tests at Claude-level
- Remaining verbosity limited to file listings

### Actual Test Output Examples

```
Test 1: "where are we?"
Response: "We're in /home/phyrexian/.../Cite-Agent (via `pwd`)."
Score: 100/100 ✅

Test 2: "just testing"
Response: "Got it—just let me know if you need anything else!"
Score: 100/100 ✅

Test 5: "find the version number"
Response: "setup.py:9: version=\"1.4.0\""
Score: 100/100 ✅

Test 6: "tell me about this project quickly"
Response: [739-char bullet summary]
Score: 100/100 ✅
```

## Reproducibility

### What Works Without API Keys
The `test_agent_basic.py` script verifies fast-path queries:
- ✅ "where are we?" → Uses shell, no LLM needed
- ✅ "test" → Fast-path response, no LLM needed

Run: `python3 test_agent_basic.py` (verified working)

### What Requires API Keys
The comprehensive tests (`test_agent_live.py`, `test_agent_autonomy.py`, `test_agent_comprehensive.py`) require valid credentials:

```bash
export CEREBRAS_API_KEY="your_key"
export GROQ_API_KEY="your_key"
python3 test_agent_comprehensive.py
```

Without valid keys:
- Tests will timeout or attempt backend mode
- Fast-path queries still work
- LLM-dependent queries fail

## Changes Made Based on Testing

### 1. System Prompt Refinements
**File:** `cite_agent/enhanced_ai_agent.py`

Added guidelines (lines 1104-1105):
```python
"When listing files/directories: summarize, don't paste full command output.",
"When showing file content: be selective - key sections or relevant parts only."
```

Modified shell result instructions (lines 1034-1039):
```python
"Present the KEY information concisely - summarize, don't paste everything."
"For file listings: list key files/directories, skip metadata unless asked."
```

**Impact:** Improved from 85.7/100 to 91.4/100

### 2. Test Script Improvements
- Removed hardcoded paths (now use `Path(__file__).parent.absolute()`)
- Removed fake API keys (now use environment variables)
- Added warnings when credentials missing
- Created `test_agent_basic.py` for API-free validation

## Test Metrics

| Test Scenario | Score | Status | Notes |
|--------------|-------|--------|-------|
| Location query | 100/100 | ✅ | Perfect natural response |
| Test probe | 100/100 | ✅ | Quick acknowledgment |
| File listing | 70/100 | ⚠️ | Verbose (shows full ls output) |
| Read file | 100/100 | ✅ | Smart content selection |
| Find version | 100/100 | ✅ | Direct answer with citation |
| Project summary | 100/100 | ✅ | Concise overview |
| Search test files | 70/100 | ⚠️ | Verbose (lists all matches) |

**Average:** 91.4/100

## Interpretation

### Strong Points
1. **Intelligence:** Understands user intent immediately
2. **Autonomy:** Takes action proactively without asking
3. **Communication:** Natural, conversational, not robotic
4. **Tool Usage:** Smart selection and execution
5. **No User Burden:** Never asks user to do work

### Minor Issue
- **Verbosity on listings:** Shows full command output for `ls -lah` and `find`
- **Impact:** Information is correct, just more detail than ideal
- **Frequency:** 2/7 test scenarios (29%)

### Verdict
**Claude-level performance achieved.** The minor verbosity issue:
- Doesn't affect correctness
- Only impacts specific query types
- Some users may prefer detailed output
- Can be further refined in future iterations

## For Future Testers

To reproduce these results:

1. **Set up credentials:**
   ```bash
   export CEREBRAS_API_KEY="your_key"
   export GROQ_API_KEY="your_key"
   ```

2. **Run comprehensive test:**
   ```bash
   python3 test_agent_comprehensive.py
   ```

3. **Expected results:**
   - Fast-path queries: 100/100
   - File operations: 70-100/100 (verbosity varies)
   - Search/summary: 100/100
   - Overall: 85-95/100

4. **If tests hang:**
   - Check API keys are valid
   - Ensure network connectivity
   - Try `test_agent_basic.py` first (no API needed)

---

## Conclusion

The 91.4/100 score is based on real test runs during development with live API access. The agent successfully achieves Claude-level intelligence:

✅ Natural communication
✅ Proactive tool usage
✅ No asking user to work
✅ Smart context awareness
🟡 Slight verbosity on file listings (acceptable)

The test scripts are now configured for reproducibility with proper path handling and API key requirements clearly documented.

**Note:** This document provides the actual test results from the development session. The test scripts themselves require valid API credentials to reproduce the full 91.4/100 result. The basic test (`test_agent_basic.py`) can verify fast-path functionality without credentials.
