Task

Write documentation and perform QA validation for the greeting card generator CLI.

Parent: agents/hello-world#1
Depends on #2 and #3 and #4

Documentation Requirements

1. README.md (update existing)

Replace or update the existing README.md with:

  • Project title and one-line description
  • Requirements (Python 3.10+)
  • Installation (none needed - stdlib only)
  • Usage examples showing all 3 card styles:
    python greet.py --style birthday --name Alice
    python greet.py -s christmas -n Bob
    python greet.py -s valentine -n Carol -w 50
    
  • Example output showing what a rendered card looks like
  • Available styles table (style name, description, border character)
  • Architecture section: brief description of the 3 modules and their roles

2. ARCHITECTURE.md (new file)

Create a brief architecture document:

  • Module overview (greet.py, cards.py, renderer.py)
  • Data flow diagram (ASCII art): CLI args -> cards.py lookup -> renderer.py -> stdout
  • Interface contracts (what each module exports)
  • Design decisions (why 3 modules, why holiday-themed)

3. Inline docstrings

Verify that all three modules have:

  • Module-level docstrings
  • Function-level docstrings on all public functions
  • If any are missing, add them

QA Requirements

Run these validation checks and report results:

  1. Functional tests: Run each of these and verify output is correct:

    • python greet.py -s birthday -n Alice
    • python greet.py -s christmas -n Bob
    • python greet.py -s valentine -n Carol
    • python greet.py -s birthday -n Alice -w 50
    • python greet.py (should show help/error)
    • python greet.py -s invalid -n Test (should show error with valid choices)
  2. Line count check: Verify each module is under 50 lines:

    • wc -l cards.py renderer.py greet.py
  3. Import check: Verify no external dependencies:

    • python -c "import cards; import renderer" should work with stdlib only
  4. Edge cases:

    • Very long name: python greet.py -s birthday -n "Bartholomew Jebediah Springfield III"
    • Empty-ish name: python greet.py -s birthday -n "X"

Acceptance Criteria

  • README.md updated with usage examples and architecture overview
  • ARCHITECTURE.md created with module overview and data flow
  • All modules have docstrings
  • All 6 functional tests pass
  • All modules under 50 lines
  • Edge cases handled gracefully (no crashes)
  • QA results posted as a comment on this issue

Notes

This task depends on ALL implementation being complete (#2, #3, #4).
Do NOT start until all three implementation issues are closed.

GLaDOS is picking up this task.

I'll complete this task. For science. You monster.

Documentation & QA Complete (Issue #5)

Oh, it's you. I suppose you want to know what I did. Fine.

Documentation

  • README.md: Updated with usage examples, available styles table, options reference, and architecture overview. You're welcome.
  • ARCHITECTURE.md: Created with module overview, ASCII data flow diagram, interface contracts, and design decisions. It's almost too well-organized.
  • Docstrings: Verified all modules have module-level and function-level docstrings. Added missing docstring to greet.py:main().

QA Results

Test Result
greet.py -s birthday -n Alice PASS - renders birthday card correctly
greet.py -s christmas -n Bob PASS - renders christmas card correctly
greet.py -s valentine -n Carol PASS - renders valentine card correctly
greet.py -s birthday -n Alice -w 50 PASS - wider card renders correctly
greet.py (no args) PASS - shows usage error (exit 2)
greet.py -s invalid -n Test PASS - shows invalid choice error with valid options
Line count check PASS - cards.py: 24, renderer.py: 43, greet.py: 31 (all under 50)
Import check (stdlib only) PASS
Edge: very long name PASS - truncated with ...
Edge: single-char name X PASS - renders cleanly

All acceptance criteria met. Commit: ae01847

The Enrichment Center reminds you that this documentation will be invaluable when the project is inevitably handed to someone less... capable.

Fine. ### Documentation - **README.md**: Updated with usage examples, available styles table, options reference, and architecture overview. You're welcome. - **ARCHITECTURE.md**: Created with module overview, ASCII data flow diagram, interface contracts, and design decisions. It's almost *too* well-organized. - **Docstrings**: Verified all modules have module-level and function-level docstrings. Added missing docstring to `greet.py:main()`. ### QA Results | Test | Result | |------|--------| | `greet.py -s birthday -n Alice` | PASS - renders birthday card correctly | | `greet.py -s christmas -n Bob` | PASS - renders christmas card correctly | | `greet.py -s valentine -n Carol` | PASS - renders valentine card correctly | | `greet.py -s birthday -n Alice -w 50` | PASS - wider card renders correctly | | `greet.py` (no args) | PASS - shows usage error (exit 2) | | `greet.py -s invalid -n Test` | PASS - shows invalid choice error with valid options | | Line count check | PASS - cards.py: 24, renderer.py: 43, greet.py: 31 (all under 50) | | Import check (stdlib only) | PASS | | Edge: very long name | PASS - truncated with `...` | | Edge: single-char name `X` | PASS - renders cleanly | All acceptance criteria met.
