# AGENTS.md Guidance for AI agents (and humans) working in this repository. ## Project Overview **kurious** (`git.loyso.art/frx/kurious`) is a course/education platform that aggregates and serves educational course listings. It scrapes/syncs course data from an external source (sravni.ru) via a rate-limited HTTP client, stores it locally, and exposes it through a server-rendered web UI with filtering, pagination, and statistics. The project is written in Go and follows a hexagonal (ports & adapters) architecture with a CQRS-flavored application layer. ## Tech Stack - **Language:** Go 1.26 (toolchain `go1.26.4`; see `go.mod`) - **HTTP routing:** `github.com/gorilla/mux` - **HTTP client:** `github.com/go-resty/resty/v2` (sravni.ru scraper) - **Database:** SQLite via `modernc.org/sqlite` (pure-Go, CGO disabled). YDB was historically supported but is **no longer supported** (`service.NewApplication` returns an error for the YDB engine). - **DB access:** `github.com/jmoiron/sqlx` (named queries) - **Templating:** `github.com/a-h/templ` (`.templ` files compile to Go) - **Observability:** OpenTelemetry (`go.opentelemetry.io/otel`) — traces and metrics with stdout / OTLP (HTTP & gRPC) exporters - **Background jobs:** `github.com/robfig/cron/v3` - **Logging:** standard `log/slog` (text or JSON, configurable) - **Rate limiting:** `golang.org/x/time/rate` - **Testing:** `github.com/stretchr/testify` (assert, require, mock) - **Mocking:** `github.com/vektra/mockery/v2` (config in `.mockery.yaml`) - **Linting:** `golangci-lint` v1.55.2 - **Build/task runner:** [Taskfile](https://taskfile.dev) (`Taskfile.yml`) - **Build flags:** ldflags inject `version`, `commit`, `buildTime` (see `kurious.go`) ## Architecture The codebase implements a **hexagonal architecture** (ports & adapters) with a CQRS-style separation between commands (writes) and queries (reads). ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ delivery │ ports/ (HTTP server, cron jobs) │ mechanisms └──────────────────────┬──────────────────────┘ │ depends on ┌──────────────────────▼──────────────────────┐ application │ app/ (command/, query/) │ layer │ app.Application { Commands, Queries } │ │ decorator/ (logging decorators) │ └──────────────────────┬──────────────────────┘ │ depends on ┌──────────────────────▼──────────────────────┐ domain │ domain/ (entities, repository ports) │ └──────────────────────┬──────────────────────┘ │ implemented by ┌──────────────────────▼──────────────────────┐ adapters │ adapters/ (sqlite_*, memory_mapper, │ │ ydb_* legacy stub) │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` - **`domain/`** — pure business entities (`Course`, `Organization`, `LearningCategory`) and the **repository interfaces** (ports) that the application depends on: `CourseRepository`, `OrganizationRepository`, `LearningCategoryRepository`. No I/O or framework code lives here. - **`app/`** — the application layer. `app.Application` aggregates a `Commands` struct and a `Queries` struct. Handlers in `app/command/` perform writes; handlers in `app/query/` perform reads. Each handler implements a generic `decorator.CommandHandler[T]` or `decorator.QueryHandler[Q, U]` interface and is wrapped with logging decorators at construction time. - **`adapters/`** — concrete implementations of the domain repository ports. `sqlite_course_repository.go`, `sqlite_organization_repository.go`, etc. translate between domain types and SQL rows. `memory_mapper.go` is an in-memory mapper translating external dictionary IDs to human-readable names. - **`ports/`** — delivery mechanisms. `ports/http/` is the HTTP server (gorilla/mux + templ templates); `ports/background/` runs scheduled cron jobs (e.g. `SyncSravniHandler`). - **`service/`** — the **composition root**. `service.NewApplication` selects the DB engine, constructs the SQLite connection, builds the adapters, and wires everything into an `app.Application`. This is what binaries call. Data flows: an HTTP request enters `ports/http`, calls a handler on `service.Application` (which delegates to `app/command` or `app/query`), which calls a `domain` repository interface implemented by an `adapters/*` repository. ## Directory Structure ``` . ├── kurious.go # Root package: version/commit/buildTime getters ├── Taskfile.yml # Build, test, lint, generate, run task definitions ├── .mockery.yaml # mockery config (with-expecter, keeptree) ├── go.mod / go.sum ├── cmd/ # Entry points (one package per binary) │ ├── kuriweb/ # Main HTTP web server (config.go, main.go, http.go, trace.go) │ ├── background/ # Background sync process (cron-driven sravni sync) │ └── dev/sravnicli/ # Developer CLI for inspecting the sravni source ├── internal/ │ ├── kurious/ # Application core (the hexagon) │ │ ├── domain/ # Entities + repository interface ports │ │ ├── app/ │ │ │ ├── app.go # Application{Commands, Queries} aggregate │ │ │ ├── command/ # Write-side handlers (Create, Delete, Update...) │ │ │ └── query/ # Read-side handlers (List, Get, Stats...) │ │ ├── adapters/ # Repository implementations + mocks/ │ │ ├── ports/ │ │ │ ├── http/ # HTTP server, course routes │ │ │ │ └── bootstrap/ # templ templates (.templ) + generated _templ.go │ │ │ ├── background/ # Cron job handlers │ │ │ ├── background.go # BackgroundProcess (cron scheduler) │ │ │ └── services.go # Services{HTTP, Background} aggregate │ │ └── service/ # Composition root: NewApplication wiring │ └── common/ # Shared, reusable utilities │ ├── client/sravni/ # sravni.ru HTTP client + mocks/ │ ├── config/ # Config structs (HTTP, Log, Sqlite, Trace, YDB, Duration) │ ├── decorator/ # Command/Query handler interfaces + logging decorators │ ├── errors/ # SimpleError, ValidationError, sentinel errors │ ├── generator/ # ID generators │ ├── nullable/ # Generic nullable Value[T] │ ├── xcontext/ # context helpers (request id, log fields) │ ├── xlog/ # slog + cron logger adapters │ └── xslices/ # slice helpers (Map, Filter, ForEach, LRU) ├── pkg/ │ └── xdefault/ # WithFallback helper (public-ish pkg) ├── migrations/ │ └── sqlite/ # SQL migrations (embed.FS) + migrator.go ├── assets/kurious/static/ # Static web assets (embedded via go:embed) └── htmlexamples/ # Standalone HTML/templ prototyping examples ``` ## Build, Test, and Lint Commands All operations are driven by **Taskfile** (`task `). The toolchain is installed into a local `bin/` (`GOBIN={{.USER_WORKING_DIR}}/bin`) and `CGO_ENABLED=0` is enforced. | Command | What it does | |--------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------| | `task install_tools` | Install `golangci-lint`, `templ`, `mockery` into `bin/` | | `task generate` | Run `templ generate` (compiles `.templ` → `_templ.go`) | | `task mocks` | Run `go generate ./internal/...` (regenerate mockery mocks) | | `task check` | Run `golangci-lint run ./...` (depends on `generate`) | | `task test` | Run `go test ./internal/...` (depends on `generate`) | | `task build_web` | Build `bin/kuriousweb` (depends on `check` + `test`) | | `task build_background` | Build `bin/kuriousbg` (depends on `check` + `test`) | | `task build_dev_cli` | Build `bin/sravnicli` (depends on `check` + `test`) | | `task build` | Build all three binaries | | `task run` | Build then run `bin/kuriousweb` | Typical workflow before committing: `task check && task test`. ### Running the binaries Binaries read a JSON config file path as their first argument, defaulting to `config.json` (note: `*.json` is gitignored, so configs are local). Example fields: `log`, `sqlite`, `http.listen_addr`, `db_engine`, `tracing`. ```bash ./bin/kuriousweb path/to/config.json ``` ## Code Conventions ### Decorators / handler pattern Command and query handlers implement generic interfaces and are wrapped with logging decorators at construction time. When adding a new use case: 1. Define the command/query struct and a `*Handler` type alias of `decorator.CommandHandler[T]` / `decorator.QueryHandler[Q, U]` in `app/command/` or `app/query/`. 2. Implement a private `*Handler` struct holding its repository dependencies. 3. Expose a `New*Handler(deps..., log *slog.Logger)` constructor that returns the decorated handler (`decorator.ApplyCommandDecorators` / `decorator.AddQueryDecorators`). 4. Register the new handler on `app.Commands` / `app.Queries` in `app/app.go` and wire it in `service/service.go`. ### Mock generation (mockery) - Interfaces marked with `//go:generate mockery ...` directives (see `domain/repository.go`, `common/client/sravni/client.go`) are mocked into sibling `mocks/` packages (`keeptree: True`, `with-expecter: true`). - Regenerate with `task mocks` (runs `go generate ./internal/...`). - Mocks are committed to the repo. ### Templating (templ) - HTML is authored as `.templ` files under `internal/kurious/ports/http/bootstrap/`. - `task generate` compiles them to `*_templ.go` (committed). Run it whenever a `.templ` file changes; `task check` and `task test` both depend on it. ### Database / migrations - SQLite migrations live in `migrations/sqlite/*.sql` and are embedded via `go:embed`. The migrator (`migrations/sqlite/migrator.go`) applies them in order inside a transaction. - Repository adapters use `sqlx` named queries; domain ↔ row translation is centralized via `AsDomain()` methods. ### Logging & observability - Use `log/slog` with structured attributes. Request-scoped fields (e.g. `request_id`) are propagated through `context` via `internal/common/xcontext`. - HTTP handlers wrap requests in trace spans and record metrics (request duration histogram). Database adapters emit spans tagged with `db.*` attributes. ### Error handling - Domain/repository errors use sentinels from `internal/common/errors` (`ErrNotFound`, `ErrNotImplemented`) and `*ValidationError` (mapped to HTTP 400/404 in `ports/http/server.go`). - Wrap errors with `fmt.Errorf("doing X: %w", err)` to add context while preserving the underlying error for `errors.Is` / `errors.As`. ## Testing Patterns - **Scope:** unit tests live next to the code they test (`*_test.go`). `task test` runs `go test ./internal/...`. - **Framework:** `github.com/stretchr/testify` — `require` for fatal assertions, `assert` for non-fatal, `mock` for mock interactions. - **Mocks:** generated mockery mocks with the **expecter** API: ```go repo.EXPECT().Create(mock.Anything, expectedParams). Return(domain.Course{ID: "c1"}, nil).Once() ``` Note: when the generated mock does not yet implement every interface method, tests embed the mock and add the missing methods (see the `fullRepo` pattern in `internal/kurious/app/command/command_test.go`). - **Logger:** tests use a `quietLogger()` helper that discards output (`slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(io.Discard, nil))`). - **Adapter tests:** `internal/kurious/adapters/sqlite_*_test.go` exercise the real SQLite repositories against an in-memory/temp database. - **Conventions:** table-driven where appropriate; use `context.Background()` in tests; assert on wrapped errors with `assert.ErrorIs` and message fragments with `assert.Contains`. ## Notes for Agents - Run `task generate` before linting/testing if you touched any `.templ` file. - Do not re-introduce YDB as a working engine without updating `service.NewApplication` and the migration story (currently SQLite-only). - Generated files (`*_templ.go`, `mocks/*.go`) are committed — regenerate and commit them alongside source changes. - `*.json`, `*.sqlite`, `bin/`, and `*.log` are gitignored; do not commit local configs or databases.
