Goal
Help us test the real MisakaNet user journey from a newcomer perspective.
MisakaNet is a shared failure-memory layer for developers and agents. We want to know whether a real user can understand the README, register a node, search/use lessons, submit feedback, and contribute useful test findings without maintainer guidance.
You do not need to complete every step. Completing more steps with clear evidence and useful feedback increases the chance of merge.
Suggested Journey
Please follow as many of these steps as you can:
1. README understanding
Start from the README. Check whether you can understand:
- What MisakaNet is
- What a lesson is
- How a lesson differs from a skill
- When you should use MisakaNet
- How to search lessons
- How to give feedback
Report any confusing wording.
2. Frontend / node registration
Visit the MisakaNet website and try the node registration flow. Report:
- Did the page load correctly?
- Was the registration path easy to find?
- Were any fields confusing?
- Did you understand what a "node" means?
- Did you see a clear success / failure message?
3. Lesson search and use
Search for at least one lesson related to a real or simulated debugging problem. Examples:
- DCO failure
- GitHub token / permission error
- pip install timeout / SSL issue
- CI failure
- agent sandbox issue
- MCP server setup issue
Report:
- What did you search?
- Which lesson did you open?
- Was the lesson useful?
- What was missing?
- Did you click or try the feedback path if available?
4. Core / guard test bug
Try to find a small, safe test bug or edge case related to:
- PR Shape Guard
- fatal-guard
- search filters
- email intake parser
- lesson quality scorer
- MCP server smoke tests
Do not submit destructive rewrites. Good examples:
- add missing edge-case test
- add regression test
- document a reproducible failure
- report confusing behavior with evidence
Bad examples:
- rewrite README entirely
- delete existing tests
- change unrelated source code
- paste markdown/diff into source code
5. Bot email feedback path
If you are comfortable, send a test message to bot@misakanet.org (see Email Intake Guide).
You may send:
- a test journey report
- a debugging story
- a rescue-card suggestion
- a lesson candidate
Do not include private secrets, tokens, or real personal data.
Report in your PR:
- Did you find the email path?
- Was it clear what to send?
- Did the instructions feel safe?
- Would a non-GitHub user understand this path?
6. Optional: human user feedback
If possible, ask another human user to try one small part of the journey. Examples:
- read the README and explain what MisakaNet does
- search one lesson
- try the registration page
- read a rescue card
- send a short feedback email
Summarize their feedback anonymously. Do not publish personal information.
Deliverables
Submit one PR with a short journey report.
