Storage Architecture

This project has two storage backends that must always be kept in sync:

JSON File Storage (internal/impl/repositories/json/)

• Files: agent_repository.go, chat_repository.go, model_repository.go, provider_repository.go, task_repository.go, tool_repository.go
• Storage path: .aiagent/storage/*.json (default) or ~/.aiagent/storage/ (--global flag)
• Data format: JSON with json:"fieldName" struct tags on entities
• No migration system — changes are additive (new fields with zero values in old files)

MongoDB Storage (internal/impl/repositories/mongo/)

• Files: agent_repository.go, chat_repository.go, model_repository.go, provider_repository.go, task_repository.go, tool_repository.go
• Driver: go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver
• Struct tags: bson:"fieldName" on entities
• Collections mirror entity names (e.g., agents, chats, models)
• Connection: internal/impl/database/mongodb.go

Interfaces (source of truth)

All repository contracts are defined in internal/domain/interfaces/ — both backends must satisfy them exactly.

Entity Schema (current)

Agent (internal/domain/entities/agent.go):

• ID string — UUID, _id in MongoDB
• Name string
• SystemPrompt string
• Tools []string — tool names
• CreatedAt time.Time
• UpdatedAt time.Time

Model (internal/domain/entities/model.go): provider, model name, temperature, context window, etc.

Chat (internal/domain/entities/chat.go): links Agent + Model, holds message history.

Skill (internal/domain/entities/skill.go): name, content from SKILL.md files.

Tool (internal/domain/entities/tool.go): name, description, parameters.

Provider (internal/domain/entities/provider.go): provider name, API endpoint, default models.

Schema Change Process

When adding/modifying entity fields:

1. Update the entity struct in internal/domain/entities/xxx.go

   • Add both json:"fieldName" and bson:"fieldName" tags
   • For optional fields: use pointer types or add omitempty
   • For new required fields: provide sensible defaults in NewXxx constructor

2. JSON backward compatibility:

   • JSON files from before the change won't have the new field — Go's JSON decoder zero-initializes missing fields
   • If zero value is not a safe default, handle it explicitly in the repository

3. MongoDB backward compatibility:

   • Add field with omitempty if it can be absent in old documents
   • For indexed fields: plan an index creation step

4. Update repository interfaces if new query methods are needed:

   • internal/domain/interfaces/xxx_repository.go
   • Then implement in BOTH json and mongo repos

5. Update seed data in internal/impl/defaults/defaults.go if the entity is seeded

MongoDB Query Patterns

Safe filter construction (parameterized):

filter := bson.M{"_id": id}  // id is a typed value, not string-formatted
result := collection.FindOne(ctx, filter)

Index creation (in mongodb.go or repository init):

indexModel := mongo.IndexModel{
    Keys:    bson.D{{Key: "name", Value: 1}},
    Options: options.Index().SetUnique(true),
}

Efficient queries:

• Project only needed fields when reading large documents
• Use indexes for fields used in filters (name, provider, etc.)
• Limit result sets in list queries

JSON File Patterns

Read pattern:

// Read all from file, filter in memory (small datasets)
var agents []*entities.Agent
// unmarshal from file

Write pattern:

// Read all, update/add, write all back
// Use atomic write (write to temp, rename)

DBA Checklist

• Both JSON and MongoDB repositories implement the interface identically
• All new entity fields have both json:"..." and bson:"..." tags
• New constructor (NewXxx) initializes all required fields
• Backward-compatible: old JSON files with missing fields won't crash
• MongoDB filters use typed values, not string formatting
• Large collection queries have appropriate indexes
• No N+1 query patterns in list operations
• go test ./... passes after schema changes
