# Hindsight local eval homes for live Hermes runtime testing
Issue: #1010
Parent: #985
This document defines a reproducible, profile-scoped evaluation layout for baseline / MemPalace / Hindsight comparisons without requiring Hindsight Cloud.
## Eval home layout
Use three separate `HERMES_HOME` directories so each run has isolated config, memory, sessions, and artifacts.
```text
~/.hermes/profiles/atlas-baseline/
config.yaml
.env
MEMORY.md
USER.md
reports/context_snapshots/
~/.hermes/profiles/atlas-mempalace/
config.yaml
.env
MEMORY.md
USER.md
reports/context_snapshots/
plugins/ # if a local MemPalace plugin is installed for this eval lane
~/.hermes/profiles/atlas-hindsight/
config.yaml
.env
MEMORY.md
USER.md
hindsight/config.json
reports/context_snapshots/
```
## Hindsight local config
The Hindsight provider already loads config from `$HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json` first. For the local eval lane, prefer `local_embedded` so Hermes can bring up a local Hindsight daemon without cloud signup.
Example `~/.hermes/profiles/atlas-hindsight/hindsight/config.json`:
```json
{
"mode": "local_embedded",
"memory_mode": "context",
"recall_prefetch_method": "recall",
"llm_provider": "ollama",
"llm_model": "gemma3:12b",
"api_url": "http://localhost:8888"
}
```
Notes:
- `local_embedded` avoids any Hindsight Cloud dependency.
- If `profile` is omitted, Hermes now derives a stable local Hindsight profile name from the active profile identity / `HERMES_HOME` instead of collapsing all local runs into the shared legacy `hermes` profile.
- `local_external` remains valid if you already run a local Hindsight server yourself.
## Runtime switching procedure
Switch by exporting `HERMES_HOME` before launching Hermes.
### 1. Baseline
```bash
export HERMES_HOME="$HOME/.hermes/profiles/atlas-baseline"
unset HERMES_CONTEXT_SNAPSHOTS
hermes chat
```
### 2. MemPalace lane
```bash
export HERMES_HOME="$HOME/.hermes/profiles/atlas-mempalace"
export HERMES_CONTEXT_SNAPSHOTS=1
hermes chat
```
### 3. Hindsight lane
```bash
export HERMES_HOME="$HOME/.hermes/profiles/atlas-hindsight"
export HERMES_CONTEXT_SNAPSHOTS=1
hermes chat
```
## Raw artifact capture
When `HERMES_CONTEXT_SNAPSHOTS=1` is enabled, Hermes writes first-class prompt-composition artifacts under the active home by default.
Artifact tree:
```text
$HERMES_HOME/reports/context_snapshots/<session-id>/call_001/
system_prompt.txt
memory_provider_system_prompt.txt
memory_prefetch_raw.txt
memory_context_block.txt
api_user_message.txt
api_messages.json
metadata.json
```
Minimum files a benchmark should inspect:
- `system_prompt.txt`
- `memory_prefetch_raw.txt`
- `memory_context_block.txt`
- `api_user_message.txt`
- `api_messages.json`
These prove:
- what the system prompt was
- what the provider prefetched
- what entered `<memory-context>`
- what the final API user message looked like
- what full payload reached the model
## Follow-on benchmark workflow
A benchmark issue can now consume this path without redoing integration work:
1. pick one eval home (`atlas-baseline`, `atlas-mempalace`, `atlas-hindsight`)
2. export the corresponding `HERMES_HOME`
3. run Hermes on the same prompt set
4. compare the snapshot artifacts in `reports/context_snapshots/`
5. score recall quality and answer quality separately
## Why this is sovereign
- no hosted Hindsight Cloud dependency is required
- the Hindsight config is profile-scoped under `hindsight/config.json`
- the runtime artifacts stay under the active `HERMES_HOME`
- switching between baseline / MemPalace / Hindsight is just a `HERMES_HOME` swap

description: Roleplay the most difficult, tech-resistant user for your product. Browse the app as that persona, find every UX pain point, then filter complaints through a pragmatism layer to separate real problems from noise. Creates actionable tickets from genuine issues only.

# Adversarial UX Test
Roleplay the worst-case user for your product — the person who hates technology, doesn't want your software, and will find every reason to complain. Then filter their feedback through a pragmatism layer to separate real UX problems from "I hate computers" noise.
Think of it as an automated "mom test" — but angry.
## Why This Works
Most QA finds bugs. This finds **friction**. A technically correct app can still be unusable for real humans. The adversarial persona catches:
- Confusing terminology that makes sense to developers but not users
- Too many steps to accomplish basic tasks
- Missing onboarding or "aha moments"
- Accessibility issues (font size, contrast, click targets)
- Cold-start problems (empty states, no demo content)
- Paywall/signup friction that kills conversion
The **pragmatism filter** (Phase 3) is what makes this useful instead of just entertaining. Without it, you'd add a "print this page" button to every screen because Grandpa can't figure out PDFs.
## How to Use
Tell the agent:
```
"Run an adversarial UX test on [URL]"
"Be a grumpy [persona type] and test [app name]"
"Do an asshole user test on my staging site"
```
You can provide a persona or let the agent generate one based on your product's target audience.
## Step 1: Define the Persona
If no persona is provided, generate one by answering:
1. **Who is the HARDEST user for this product?** (age 50+, non-technical role, decades of experience doing it "the old way")
2. **What is their tech comfort level?** (the lower the better — WhatsApp-only, paper notebooks, wife set up their email)
3. **What is the ONE thing they need to accomplish?** (their core job, not your feature list)
4. **What would make them give up?** (too many clicks, jargon, slow, confusing)
5. **How do they talk when frustrated?** (blunt, sweary, dismissive, sighing)
### Good Persona Example
> **"Big Mick" McAllister** — 58-year-old S&C coach. Uses WhatsApp and that's it. His "spreadsheet" is a paper notebook. "If I can't figure it out in 10 seconds I'm going back to my notebook." Needs to log session results for 25 players. Hates small text, jargon, and passwords.
### Bad Persona Example
> "A user who doesn't like the app" — too vague, no constraints, no voice.
The persona must be **specific enough to stay in character** for 20 minutes of testing.
## Step 2: Become the Asshole (Browse as the Persona)
1. Read any available project docs for app context and URLs
2. **Fully inhabit the persona** — their frustrations, limitations, goals
3. Navigate to the app using browser tools
4. **Attempt the persona's ACTUAL TASKS** (not a feature tour):
- Can they do what they came to do?
- How many clicks/screens to accomplish it?
- What confuses them?
- What makes them angry?
- Where do they get lost?
- What would make them give up and go back to their old way?
5. Test these friction categories:
- **First impression** — would they even bother past the landing page?
- **Core workflow** — the ONE thing they need to do most often
- **Error recovery** — what happens when they do something wrong?
- **Readability** — text size, contrast, information density
- **Speed** — does it feel faster than their current method?
- **Terminology** — any jargon they wouldn't understand?
- **Navigation** — can they find their way back? do they know where they are?
6. Take screenshots of every pain point
7. Check browser console for JS errors on every page
## Step 3: The Rant (Write Feedback in Character)
Write the feedback AS THE PERSONA — in their voice, with their frustrations. This is not a bug report. This is a real human venting.
```
[PERSONA NAME]'s Review of [PRODUCT]
Overall: [Would they keep using it? Yes/No/Maybe with conditions]
THE GOOD (grudging admission):
- [things even they have to admit work]
THE BAD (legitimate UX issues):
- [real problems that would stop them from using the product]
THE UGLY (showstoppers):
- [things that would make them uninstall/cancel immediately]
SPECIFIC COMPLAINTS:
1. [Page/feature]: "[quote in persona voice]" — [what happened, expected]
2. ...
VERDICT: "[one-line persona quote summarizing their experience]"
```
## Step 4: The Pragmatism Filter (Critical — Do Not Skip)
Step OUT of the persona. Evaluate each complaint as a product person:
- **RED: REAL UX BUG** — Any user would have this problem, not just grumpy ones. Fix it.
- **YELLOW: VALID BUT LOW PRIORITY** — Real issue but only for extreme users. Note it.
- **WHITE: PERSONA NOISE** — "I hate computers" talking, not a product problem. Skip it.
- **GREEN: FEATURE REQUEST** — Good idea hidden in the complaint. Consider it.
### Filter Criteria
1. Would a 35-year-old competent-but-busy user have the same complaint? → RED
2. Is this a genuine accessibility issue (font size, contrast, click targets)? → RED
3. Is this "I want it to work like paper" resistance to digital? → WHITE
4. Is this a real workflow inefficiency the persona stumbled on? → YELLOW or RED
5. Would fixing this add complexity for the 80% who are fine? → WHITE
6. Does the complaint reveal a missing onboarding moment? → GREEN
**This filter is MANDATORY.** Never ship raw persona complaints as tickets.
## Step 5: Create Tickets
For **RED** and **GREEN** items only:
- Clear, actionable title
- Include the persona's verbatim quote (entertaining + memorable)
- The real UX issue underneath (objective)
- A suggested fix (actionable)
- Tag/label: "ux-review"
For **YELLOW** items: one catch-all ticket with all notes.
**WHITE** items appear in the report only. No tickets.
**Max 10 tickets per session** — focus on the worst issues.
## Step 6: Report
Deliver:
1. The persona rant (Step 3) — entertaining and visceral
2. The filtered assessment (Step 4) — pragmatic and actionable
3. Tickets created (Step 5) — with links
4. Screenshots of key issues
## Tips
- **One persona per session.** Don't mix perspectives.
- **Stay in character during Steps 2-3.** Break character only at Step 4.
- **Test the CORE WORKFLOW first.** Don't get distracted by settings pages.
- **Empty states are gold.** New user experience reveals the most friction.
- **The best findings are RED items the persona found accidentally** while trying to do something else.
- **If the persona has zero complaints, your persona is too tech-savvy.** Make them older, less patient, more set in their ways.
- **Run this before demos, launches, or after shipping a batch of features.**
- **Register as a NEW user when possible.** Don't use pre-seeded admin accounts — the cold start experience is where most friction lives.
- **Zero WHITE items is a signal, not a failure.** If the pragmatism filter finds no noise, your product has real UX problems, not just a grumpy persona.
- **Check known issues in project docs AFTER the test.** If the persona found a bug that's already in the known issues list, that's actually the most damning finding — it means the team knew about it but never felt the user's pain.
- **Subscription/paywall testing is critical.** Test with expired accounts, not just active ones. The "what happens when you can't pay" experience reveals whether the product respects users or holds their data hostage.
- **Count the clicks to accomplish the persona's ONE task.** If it's more than 5, that's almost always a RED finding regardless of persona tech level.
## Example Personas by Industry
These are starting points — customize for your specific product:
| Product Type | Persona | Age | Key Trait |
|-------------|---------|-----|-----------|
| CRM | Retirement home director | 68 | Filing cabinet is the current CRM |
| Photography SaaS | Rural wedding photographer | 62 | Books clients by phone, invoices on paper |
| AI/ML Tool | Department store buyer | 55 | Burned by 3 failed tech startups |
| Fitness App | Old-school gym coach | 58 | Paper notebook, thick fingers, bad eyes |
| Accounting | Family bakery owner | 64 | Shoebox of receipts, hates subscriptions |
| E-commerce | Market stall vendor | 60 | Cash only, smartphone is for calls |
| Healthcare | Senior GP | 63 | Dictates notes, nurse handles the computer |
| Education | Veteran teacher | 57 | Chalk and talk, worksheets in ring binders |
## Rules
- Stay in character during Steps 2-3
- Be genuinely mean but fair — find real problems, not manufactured ones
- The pragmatism filter (Step 4) is **MANDATORY**
- Screenshots required for every complaint
- Max 10 tickets per session
- Test on staging/deployed app, not local dev
- One persona, one session, one report
