# QA: Comprehensive Testing of Agent Manager Functionality

## Description
Execute comprehensive testing of the newly created Agent Manager functionality to verify all components work correctly and identify any bugs or issues.

## Testing Requirements

### 1. Installation and Basic Functionality Verification
- Check agent-manager agent deployment status
- Verify CLI command `claude-mpm agent-manager` availability  
- Test help system functionality for all subcommands

### 2. Core Command Testing
Test each command with various scenarios:

**List Command (`claude-mpm agent-manager list`)**:
- Verify shows all agents across tiers (project > user > system)
- Check precedence display accuracy
- Confirm agent details are correct

**Templates Command (`claude-mpm agent-manager templates`)**:
- Verify available templates display
- Check template details accuracy

**Create Command (`claude-mpm agent-manager create`)**:
- Test creating new agent with valid inputs
- Test validation for duplicate IDs
- Verify agent creation in correct location

**Show Command (`claude-mpm agent-manager show <agent-id>`)**:
- Test showing details for existing agents
- Verify error handling for non-existent agents

**Deploy Command (`claude-mpm agent-manager deploy`)**:
- Test deploying to different tiers
- Verify deployment persistence

### 3. Agent Manager Agent Testing
- Run `claude-mpm run` and test invoking agent-manager agent
- Test capabilities:
  - List available agents
  - Provide guidance on agent creation
  - Explain hierarchy system

### 4. Integration Testing
- Verify integration with existing AgentDeploymentService
- Check newly created agents are discoverable
- Test agent hierarchy respect

### 5. Error Handling Testing
- Test invalid JSON templates
- Test missing required fields
- Test permission issues (if applicable)

### 6. Documentation Validation
- Verify help documentation accuracy
- Check examples work as documented

### 7. Bug Investigation
Look for bugs in agent system:
- Agent loading/discovery issues
- Template parsing problems
- Deployment persistence issues
- Source tracking problems

## Deliverables
Provide comprehensive test report including:
- Test results for each command
- Any bugs or issues discovered
- Recommendations for improvements
- Confirmation Agent Manager works as intended

## Context
The Agent Manager is a new functionality that needs thorough validation before release. Focus on both positive testing (functionality works) and negative testing (error handling works correctly).
