# Story 014.087: Interactive analyze-product-quality Prompt Redesign

Status: done

## Story

As a CSM analyzing product quality,
I want an interactive prompt that gathers business context before diving into analysis,
so that I get relevant insights framed for my specific needs (EBR prep, escalation investigation, routine check).

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Three-Phase Workflow:**
   - Phase 1: Executive Summary (auto-execute if product identified)
   - Phase 2: Context Gathering (interactive - understand business driver)
   - Phase 3: Targeted Investigation (adapt based on gathered context)

2. **Flexible Product Resolution:**
   - Accept product ID (integer) OR product name/title (string)
   - Use search/list tools to resolve product names to IDs
   - If no product provided, help user discover which product to analyze

3. **Auto-Execute Executive Summary (Phase 1):**
   - Only runs if product is identified (ID or resolved name)
   - **Time range scoping (IMPORTANT):**
     - Default: "last 30 days" (recent quality snapshot)
     - If user specifies period in invocation → Use that period
     - If user says "all-time" or "everything" → No time filter
     - If ambiguous → Show 30-day summary, ask: "Want a different time period? (last week, last quarter, all-time, custom range)"
   - Syncs fresh data before analysis (scoped to time period if applicable)
   - Presents structured summary:
     - 📊 Product name, ID, **time period used**
     - Key metrics: acceptance rate, bug counts, test counts
     - ⚠️ Red flags: high rejection tests, concerning trends
     - Top issues: fragile features, severity distribution

4. **Interactive Context Gathering (Phase 2):**
   - After executive summary, offer 2-4 exploration paths based on findings
   - Ask business context conversationally (not rigid numbered list):
     - "Is this for a specific purpose?" (EBR prep, escalation, routine check)
     - "What time period matters?" (if not already specified) **[ASK IF AMBIGUOUS]**
     - "Any recent customer feedback or complaints to factor in?"
     - "Specific concerns based on recent events?"
     - "Or shall I continue with a comprehensive deep-dive?"

5. **Targeted Investigation (Phase 3):**
   - Adapt analysis based on gathered context:
     - **EBR/QBR prep**: Trends, period-over-period, executive framing (consult playbook strategic templates)
     - **Customer escalation**: Root cause, specific bug/feature drill-down, timeline (consult playbook tactical patterns)
     - **Routine check**: Standard metrics, flag anomalies, recommendations
   - Use playbook resource for proven patterns: `testio://knowledge/playbook`

6. **YOLO Mode (Explicit Trigger):**
   - User says "full report", "comprehensive", "everything", or "complete analysis"
   - Skip context gathering, execute comprehensive analysis with all tools:
     - Feature fragility analysis
     - Severity trends
     - Test-level details for high-rejection tests
   - Present as structured comprehensive report

7. **Iteration & Follow-up:**
   - After presenting findings, ask: "Want to drill into any specific area?"
   - Suggest related analyses based on findings
   - Offer comparisons (time periods, products, features)

## Dev Notes

### Product Resolution Strategy

The prompt should intelligently detect whether `product_identifier` is:
- **Integer or numeric string**: Treat as product ID directly
- **Text string**: Use search or list_products to find matches
- **Ambiguous**: Ask user to clarify if multiple matches found

Example resolution logic in prompt template:
```
If product_identifier looks like a number (e.g., "24734", "123"):
  → Use directly as product_id

If product_identifier is text (e.g., "Acme Mobile", "mobile app"):
  → search(query=product_identifier, entities=["product"])
  → If single match: proceed
  → If multiple matches: show options, ask user to pick
  → If no match: suggest list_products to browse

If product_identifier is NOT_PROVIDED:
  → list_products(sort_by="last_synced", sort_order="desc")
  → Show recent active products
  → Ask: "Which product would you like to analyze?"
```

### Time Range Scoping (CRITICAL)

**Default behavior - Always scope by time unless explicitly asked for all-time:**

| Scenario | Time Scope Applied | Behavior |
|----------|-------------------|----------|
| User provides period explicitly | Use provided period | `/analyze-product-quality 598 "Q3 2025"` → Use Q3 2025 |
| User provides no period | Default: "last 30 days" | `/analyze-product-quality 598` → Last 30 days |
| User says "all-time" / "everything" | No time filter | `/analyze-product-quality 598 "all-time"` → All historical data |
| Ambiguous period input | Default to 30 days, ask for clarification | Show summary, then ask: "Want different period?" |

**Time range extraction from parameters:**
```
Detect time keywords in `period` parameter:
  → "last week", "past week" → start_date = 7 days ago
  → "last month", "past 30 days" → start_date = 30 days ago
  → "last quarter", "Q3 2025", "Q4 2025" → Parse business period
  → "YTD", "year to date" → start_date = Jan 1 of current year
  → "all-time", "everything", "all data" → No time filter
  → Not specified → Default to "last 30 days"
```

**All tool calls MUST include time scope:**
```python
# Sync with time awareness (if not all-time)
sync_data(product_ids=[X], since={period})

# Quality report ALWAYS scoped
get_product_quality_report(
    product_id=X,
    start_date={period}  # REQUIRED - never omit unless all-time requested
)

# Metrics queries should respect time scope
query_metrics(
    dimensions=["feature"],
    metrics=["bugs_per_test"],
    start_date={period},  # Include time filter
    filters={"product_id": X}
)
```

**Communicate time scope clearly in output:**
- Always mention the time period in the executive summary header
- Example: "📊 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - Last 30 Days" or "📊 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - Q3 2025"
- If defaulting to 30 days, acknowledge: "(Using last 30 days by default - want a different period?)"

### Executive Summary Format (Phase 1)

```markdown
📊 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - {period}  ← ALWAYS show the time period used
Product: {product_name} (ID: {product_id})
- {test_count} tests completed {in this period}
- {acceptance_rate}% overall acceptance rate (target: >60%) {✓/⚠️}
- {bug_count_total} bugs reported ({accepted} accepted, {rejected} rejected, {pending} pending)
- {high_rejection_test_count} tests with high rejection rates (>30%) {⚠️ if > 0}

Key observations:
- Severity distribution: {critical_count} critical, {high_count} high, {medium_low_count} medium/low
- Top fragile features: {feature_1} ({bug_count_1} bugs), {feature_2} ({bug_count_2} bugs)
- Acceptance trending {up/down/flat} from {start_rate}% → {end_rate}% over period

{If defaulted to 30 days}: 💬 Using last 30 days by default. Want a different time period? (last week, Q3 2025, all-time, custom range)
```

### Context-Driven Workflows (Phase 3)

**EBR/QBR Preparation:**
- Consult: `testio://knowledge/playbook` (Strategic templates section)
- Focus: Trends, YoY/QoQ comparison, executive metrics
- Tools: `query_metrics` for time series, feature analysis
- Framing: Business impact, progress narrative

**Customer Escalation Investigation:**
- Consult: `testio://knowledge/playbook` (Tactical patterns - "Noisy Cycle", etc.)
- Focus: Root cause, specific bug patterns, timeline
- Tools: `get_test_summary`, `list_bugs`, `search` for keywords
- Framing: Incident timeline, remediation actions

**Routine Quality Check:**
- Standard metrics dashboard
- Flag anomalies (acceptance < 60%, high rejection tests)
- Tools: Already covered in Phase 1, offer feature deep-dive if needed
- Framing: Health check, early warnings

### YOLO Mode Triggers

Detect keywords in `focus_area` parameter:
- "full report"
- "comprehensive"
- "everything"
- "complete analysis"
- "all metrics"

When triggered, execute:
1. Phase 1 (executive summary)
2. Skip Phase 2 (no context gathering)
3. Phase 3 (all analyses):
   - Feature fragility: `query_metrics(dimensions=["feature"], metrics=["bugs_per_test"])`
   - Severity trends: `query_metrics(dimensions=["severity"], metrics=["bug_count"])`
   - Monthly trends: `query_metrics(dimensions=["month"], metrics=["test_count", "bug_count"])`
   - High-rejection test details: `get_test_summary` for each test >30% rejection
4. Present as comprehensive report with all sections

### Template Variables

```python
template.format(
    product_identifier=product_identifier or "NOT_PROVIDED",
    period=period,
    focus_area=focus_area or "overall quality",
    yolo_mode="YES" if yolo_mode else "NO",
)
```

### Completion Notes List

**Implementation completed successfully:**

1. **Template Redesign (analyze_product_quality.md):**
   - Implemented three-phase workflow structure (Product Resolution → Context Gathering → Targeted Investigation)
   - Added flexible product resolution (ID, name, or guided discovery via NOT_PROVIDED)
   - Created comprehensive executive summary format with active acceptance rate prioritized
   - Designed four context-driven investigation workflows:
     - Workflow A: EBR/QBR Preparation (trends, period comparison)
     - Workflow B: Customer Escalation Investigation (root cause, drill-down)
     - Workflow C: Routine Quality Check (health dashboard)
     - Workflow D: Comprehensive Analysis (YOLO mode - skip interaction)
   - Added iteration/follow-up guidance (Phase 4) with drill-down offers and comparison options
   - Integrated playbook resource references throughout
   - Properly escaped template braces for Python .format() compatibility

2. **Python Function Updates (analyze_product_quality.py):**
   - Changed signature: `product_id: int` → `product_identifier: str | None = None`
   - Implemented YOLO mode detection via keyword matching ("full report", "comprehensive", "everything", "complete analysis")
   - Updated comprehensive docstring with workflow phases and usage examples
   - Added template variable passing for yolo_mode flag

3. **Testing:**
   - Updated all 16 unit tests in test_prompts.py to match new signature
   - All tests passing (100% pass rate)
   - Test coverage includes:
     - Product identifier variations (ID, name, NOT_PROVIDED)
     - YOLO mode detection (all keywords, case-insensitive)

## Senior Developer Review (AI)

**Reviewer:** leoric
**Date:** 2025-12-01
**Outcome:** ✅ **APPROVE**

### Summary

Comprehensive code review completed for STORY-087 (Interactive analyze-product-quality Prompt Redesign). Implementation is **production-ready** with all acceptance criteria fully satisfied, all tasks verified complete, comprehensive test coverage (16 unit tests), and zero security/quality concerns. The prompt redesign successfully transforms the quality analysis workflow from static to interactive with three distinct phases, flexible product resolution, and context-driven investigation patterns.

**Key Achievements:**
- Three-phase workflow structure (Product Resolution → Context Gathering → Targeted Investigation)
- Flexible product identifier resolution (ID, name, or guided discovery)
- Four context-driven investigation workflows (EBR/QBR, Escalation, Routine, Comprehensive)
- YOLO mode for skip-interaction comprehensive analysis
- Time-scoped analysis with clear default (last 30 days)
- Playbook integration for CSM tactical patterns and strategic templates

### Key Findings

**No HIGH or MEDIUM severity findings.** Implementation meets all requirements with professional code quality.

#### LOW Severity Findings

**[Low] Template brace convention clarity**
- **Location:** `src/testio_mcp/prompts/analyze_product_quality.md:1-557`
- **Description:** Template uses two brace conventions: double braces `{{placeholder}}` for AI agent runtime variables, single braces `{placeholder}` for Python .format() substitution. This is **correct and intentional** but could benefit from a header comment explaining the convention.
- **Impact:** Minimal - does not affect functionality, only maintainability for future developers
- **Recommendation:** Optional inline comment at top of template file

### Test Coverage and Gaps

**Test Coverage:** ✅ **Excellent (16 unit tests)**

**Tests Implemented:**
- Prompt rendering variations: product ID, product name, no product (guided discovery)
- Custom time periods
- Focus area handling
- YOLO mode detection: all 4 keywords, case-insensitive, negative case
- Template structure verification: phases, workflows, metrics, playbook reference
- Context-driven workflows presence

**Test Quality:**
- ✅ Clear test names following `test_<function>_<scenario>` pattern
- ✅ Behavioral assertions (not implementation details)
- ✅ Comprehensive edge case coverage (YOLO keywords, case sensitivity)
- ✅ Integration with actual registry builders for dynamic content

**Test Gaps:** None identified. Coverage is appropriate for prompt templates (manual MCP inspector testing recommended for workflow validation).

### Architectural Alignment

**Tech Stack Compliance:** ✅
- Python 3.12+ with type hints (`str | None`)
- FastMCP prompt decorator pattern
- Pydantic for structured configuration
- Template-based approach (markdown)

**Coding Standards Compliance:** ✅
- Docstrings comprehensive with examples
- Type hints present for all parameters
- No magic numbers or hardcoded values
- Clean separation: function handles logic, template handles workflow

**Architecture Pattern Compliance:** ✅
- Prompts are thin wrappers (no business logic in prompt code)
- Template uses markdown format with placeholders
- MUST reference `testio://knowledge/playbook` resource - **SATISFIED** (`md:15`)
- Default time scope "last 30 days" - **SATISFIED** (`py:17`, `md:98`)

**Best Practices:**
- ✅ Template brace escaping: double braces `{{placeholder}}` for AI runtime, single braces `{placeholder}` for Python .format()
- ✅ YOLO mode detection: case-insensitive keyword matching
- ✅ Default parameter values prevent None propagation
- ✅ Clear phase separation for workflow progression

### Security Notes

**No security concerns identified.**

**Analysis:**
- ✅ No user input passed to shell commands
- ✅ No sensitive data handling (API tokens, credentials)
- ✅ Template uses safe .format() substitution (no eval, no exec)
- ✅ No SQL injection risks (prompt doesn't touch database)
- ✅ YOLO keyword matching uses safe string operations

**Secure Coding Practices:**
- Defensive programming with default values (`None` → `"NOT_PROVIDED"`)
- Input sanitization via type hints (`str | None`)
- No dynamic code execution

### Best-Practices and References

**Python:**
- [PEP 484 - Type Hints](https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/) - ✅ Followed (`str | None` union types)
- [PEP 257 - Docstring Conventions](https://peps.python.org/pep-0257/) - ✅ Comprehensive docstrings with Args/Returns
- [Python String Formatting](https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#formatstrings) - ✅ Safe .format() usage

**FastMCP:**
- [FastMCP Prompts Guide](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp#prompts) - ✅ @mcp.prompt decorator pattern
- Template-based prompts for AI workflows - ✅ Markdown template with structured phases

**TestIO MCP Patterns:**
- [TESTING.md](docs/architecture/TESTING.md) - Unit tests for prompt rendering ✅
- [CSM Playbook](src/testio_mcp/resources/playbook.md) - Referenced for tactical patterns ✅

### Action Items

**Advisory Notes:**
- Note: Consider adding inline comment at top of `analyze_product_quality.md` explaining brace convention (double `{{}}` for AI runtime, single `{}` for Python .format())
- Note: Template is production-ready; manual testing via MCP inspector recommended before release to validate AI agent workflow execution

**No code changes required.** Story is approved for merge.
