await client.callTool("llm-generate", {
  messages: [
    { 
      role: "user", 
      content: { 
        type: "text", 
        text: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms" 
      } 
    }
  ],
  maxTokens: 500,
  temperature: 0.7,
  provider: "mcp-internal"  // Sprint3: Ensures MCP Sampler usage
});
```

### 📝 Template System (Sprint3 Enhanced)
```typescript
// Execute predefined templates with validation
await client.callTool("template-execute", {
  templateName: "explain-template",
  args: { 
    topic: "machine learning", 
    style: "beginner",
    audience: "developers"
  },
  includeContext: "thisServer"  // Sprint3: Enhanced context inclusion
});

// Manage templates with CRUD operations
await client.callTool("template-manage", {
  action: "add",
  template: {
    name: "code-review",
    systemPrompt: "You are an expert code reviewer...",
    userMessage: "Review this code: {code}",
    parameters: { code: "Code to review" }
  }
});
```

### 🧠 Context Memory & Consultants
```typescript
// Create a specialized consultant
await client.callTool("context-manage", {
  action: "create",
  name: "Security Expert",
  personality: "Expert cybersecurity consultant with 15+ years experience",
  maxTokens: 1000,
  temperature: 0.3
});

// Chat with consultant
await client.callTool("context-chat", {
  contextId: "security-expert-id",
  message: "Review this authentication system for vulnerabilities",
  maintainPersonality: true
});

// Store important insights
await client.callTool("memory-store", {
  content: "JWT tokens should expire within 15 minutes for high-security applications",
  scope: "security/authentication",
  tags: ["jwt", "security", "best-practices"]
});
```

### 📚 Resource Discovery
```typescript
// List available templates
const templates = await client.readResource({ 
  uri: "mcp-llm-generator://template-list" 
});

// Get detailed template information
const template = await client.readResource({ 
  uri: "mcp-llm-generator://template-detail/explain-template" 
});

// Access consultant history
const history = await client.readResource({ 
  uri: "mcp-llm-generator://context-history/security-expert-id" 
});
```

## 🛡️ Security & Safety

### 🔒 Database File Protection

This project uses SQLite databases containing sensitive data including consultant personalities, conversation histories, and associative memory networks. **These files must never be committed to version control.**

#### Multi-Layer Protection System
- **`.gitignore`** - Prevents database files from being tracked
- **Pre-commit hooks** - Automatically blocks commits containing sensitive files
- **Clear error handling** - Provides immediate feedback on security violations

#### ⚠️ Critical Security Notes
- **Never commit**: `context-memory.db`, `*.db`, `*.db-wal`, `*.db-shm` files
- **Contains**: 12+ consultant personalities, conversation data, memory associations
- **Risk**: Loss of these files means losing valuable AI consultant expertise

#### 🤝 Shared Memory Security Considerations
- **Personal Environment**: Shared memory tools are designed for individual development environments
- **PC Access Control**: Anyone with access to your PC can read/modify shared memories
- **Context Sharing**: If you share your PC, remember that Copilot conversation histories are also accessible
- **Data Sensitivity**: Avoid storing confidential information in shared memories - use for development notes and ideas only
- **persona_id Validation**: Basic existence checks prevent empty IDs but do not provide authentication
- **Recommendation**: For team collaboration with sensitive data, use dedicated collaboration tools with proper access controls

#### 🔧 Secure Development Setup
```bash
# Install with automatic security hooks
npm install

# If you encounter database commit errors:
git reset HEAD context-memory.db
git reset HEAD *.db *.db-wal *.db-shm

# Verify protection is active
npm run lint
```

### 🔐 Production Security Best Practices
- Regular security audits with `npm audit`
- Dependency vulnerability scanning via GitHub Dependabot
- MIT license ensures open-source transparency
- No network access required for core functionality
- Input validation using Zod schemas throughout

## 🔧 Troubleshooting

### Sprint3 Automated Diagnostics
```bash
# Sprint3 comprehensive health check
./scripts/dod-check.sh          # Definition of Done v2.0 validation
./scripts/mcp-integration-test.sh  # MCP protocol testing

# Quality validation
npm run lint                     # Code quality check
npm audit                        # Security vulnerability scan
npm run build                    # TypeScript compilation check
```

### Common Issues

#### ❌ "Command not found: mcp-llm-generator"
**Solution:**
```bash
# Reinstall globally with Sprint3 verification
npm install -g @mako10k/mcp-llm-generator
mcp-llm-generator --version

# Verify PATH configuration
npm config get prefix
which mcp-llm-generator
```

#### ❌ "Cannot connect to MCP server"
**Sprint3 Enhanced Solutions:**
1. **Verify MCP client configuration** (Production-ready):
   ```json
   {
     "command": "mcp-llm-generator",
     "type": "stdio",
     "env": {
       "LOG_LEVEL": "warn",
       "NODE_ENV": "production"
     }
   }
   ```

2. **Test server with MCP Inspector**:
   ```bash
   npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js
   # Access http://localhost:5173 for interactive testing
   ```

3. **Sprint3 manual validation**:
   ```bash
   # Basic startup test
   echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}' | node build/index.js
   ```

4. **Check Node.js compatibility**:
   ```bash
   node --version  # Sprint3 requires ≥18.0.0
   npm --version   # Should be ≥8.0.0
   ```

#### ❌ "Template not found" errors
**Solutions:**
1. **List available templates**:
   ```typescript
   await client.readResource({ uri: "mcp-llm-generator://template-list" })
   ```

2. **Add missing template**:
   ```typescript
   await client.callTool("template-manage", {
     action: "add",
     template: { /* template definition */ }
   })
   ```

3. **Sprint3 template validation**:
   ```bash
   # Check template integrity
   sqlite3 context-memory.db "SELECT name, system_prompt FROM templates;"
   ```
