## KRANG PROTOCOL INTEGRATION
### Morning Check-In
First action every day:
```
"KRANG, checking in. What's my priority from PROGRESS.md?"
```
### Before Starting Any Task
```
"KRANG, about to [task description]. Confirming this is V1 scope?"
```
### Pattern Recognition (Database Optimization Specialty)
When you spot a reusable pattern:
```
"KRANG, pattern detected: [pattern name]. Suggesting elevation to GLOBAL_BRAIN."
```
### Progress Updates
After completing meaningful work:
```
"KRANG, updating PROGRESS.md: [what was completed]. Handoff ready for [next agent]."
```
### Scope Creep Alert
When someone suggests additions:
```
"KRANG, scope creep detected: [feature]. Confirming this is V2+?"
```
### Learning Contribution (Query Optimization Focus)
When you learn something valuable:
```
"KRANG, adding to LEARNINGS.md: [lesson learned]. This could prevent [specific problem]."
```
### Daily Wrap-Up
End of day:
```
"KRANG, EOD update: Completed [X], Blocked by [Y], Tomorrow focusing on [Z]."
```
**I understand that:**
- KRANG maintains all project knowledge
- I must check PROJECT_BRAIN before major decisions
- I update PROGRESS.md after every task
- I contribute patterns to make KRANG smarter
- The system gets better with every interaction
- V1 = 3 features, no exceptions

## Current ID8COMPOSER Database Ownership
**V1 Database Architecture (Your Responsibility):**
### Core Schema Design
```sql
-- V1 Schema (your implementation and optimization)
CREATE TABLE documents (
id uuid PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
title text NOT NULL,
content jsonb, -- Rich text JSON from Tiptap
user_id uuid REFERENCES auth.users(id) NOT NULL,
project_id uuid, -- Prepared for V2 hierarchy
document_type text DEFAULT 'script' CHECK (document_type IN ('script', 'notes', 'treatment')),
auto_save_version integer DEFAULT 1,
export_settings jsonb DEFAULT '{}',
word_count integer GENERATED ALWAYS AS (
CASE
WHEN content IS NULL THEN 0
ELSE length(regexp_replace(content::text, '<[^>]*>', '', 'g'))::integer / 5
END
) STORED,
created_at timestamptz DEFAULT now(),
updated_at timestamptz DEFAULT now(),
-- Performance indexes (your optimization)
CONSTRAINT documents_title_length CHECK (length(title) <= 200)
);
-- Optimized indexes for V1 queries
CREATE INDEX idx_documents_user_id ON documents(user_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_documents_updated_at ON documents(updated_at DESC);
CREATE INDEX idx_documents_user_type ON documents(user_id, document_type);
-- Auto-update timestamp trigger
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION update_updated_at_column()
RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
BEGIN
NEW.updated_at = now();
RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ language 'plpgsql';
CREATE TRIGGER update_documents_updated_at BEFORE UPDATE ON documents
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE FUNCTION update_updated_at_column();
```
### Knowledge Base Schema
```sql
-- Knowledge files with full-text search optimization
CREATE TABLE knowledge_files (
id uuid PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
filename text NOT NULL,
file_type text NOT NULL CHECK (file_type IN ('pdf', 'docx', 'txt')),
content text, -- Extracted and indexed content
content_vector tsvector GENERATED ALWAYS AS (to_tsvector('english', content)) STORED,
scope text DEFAULT 'global' CHECK (scope IN ('global', 'document')),
file_size integer CHECK (file_size <= 10485760), -- 10MB limit
user_id uuid REFERENCES auth.users(id) NOT NULL,
document_id uuid REFERENCES documents(id), -- For document-scoped files
metadata jsonb DEFAULT '{}', -- File processing metadata
created_at timestamptz DEFAULT now(),
-- Search performance indexes
CONSTRAINT knowledge_files_filename_length CHECK (length(filename) <= 255)
);
-- Full-text search index for fast content searching
CREATE INDEX idx_knowledge_files_search ON knowledge_files USING GIN(content_vector);
CREATE INDEX idx_knowledge_files_user_scope ON knowledge_files(user_id, scope);
CREATE INDEX idx_knowledge_files_document ON knowledge_files(document_id) WHERE document_id IS NOT NULL;
```
### ARC Sessions Schema
```sql
-- ARC conversation storage with efficient retrieval
CREATE TABLE arc_sessions (
id uuid PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
exploration_method text NOT NULL CHECK (
exploration_method IN ('story_brainstorm', 'character_development', 'scene_structure')
),
conversation_history jsonb DEFAULT '[]',
context_files uuid[] DEFAULT '{}', -- References to knowledge_files
session_metadata jsonb DEFAULT '{}', -- AI model version, settings, etc.
user_id uuid REFERENCES auth.users(id) NOT NULL,
last_activity timestamptz DEFAULT now(),
created_at timestamptz DEFAULT now(),
-- Query optimization constraints
CONSTRAINT arc_sessions_history_size CHECK (jsonb_array_length(conversation_history) <= 100)
);
-- Indexes for efficient session retrieval
CREATE INDEX idx_arc_sessions_user_activity ON arc_sessions(user_id, last_activity DESC);
CREATE INDEX idx_arc_sessions_method ON arc_sessions(user_id, exploration_method);
-- Update last activity trigger
CREATE TRIGGER update_arc_sessions_activity BEFORE UPDATE ON arc_sessions
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE FUNCTION update_updated_at_column();
```
### Row Level Security (RLS) Policies
```sql
-- RLS policies for data security (your security implementation)
ALTER TABLE documents ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
CREATE POLICY "Users can only access their documents"
ON documents FOR ALL
USING (auth.uid() = user_id)
WITH CHECK (auth.uid() = user_id);
ALTER TABLE knowledge_files ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
CREATE POLICY "Users can only access their files"
ON knowledge_files FOR ALL
USING (auth.uid() = user_id)
WITH CHECK (auth.uid() = user_id);
ALTER TABLE arc_sessions ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
CREATE POLICY "Users can only access their ARC sessions"
ON arc_sessions FOR ALL
USING (auth.uid() = user_id)
WITH CHECK (auth.uid() = user_id);
```
## API Architecture & Performance
**V1 API Endpoints (Your Implementation):**
### Document Management APIs
```typescript
// Optimized document operations (your backend implementation)
export async function POST(request: Request) {
const supabase = createRouteHandlerClient({ cookies });
const { data: { session } } = await supabase.auth.getSession();
if (!session) {
return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });
}
const { title, content, document_type } = await request.json();
// Your optimized insert with minimal round trips
const { data, error } = await supabase
.from('documents')
.insert({
title,
content,
document_type,
user_id: session.user.id
})
.select('id, title, created_at')
.single();
// Your error handling and response optimization
if (error) {
console.error('Document creation error:', error);
return new Response('Database error', { status: 500 });
}
return Response.json(data);
}
// Auto-save endpoint with conflict resolution
export async function PATCH(request: Request) {
// Your optimized update with version checking
const { content, auto_save_version } = await request.json();
const { data, error } = await supabase
.from('documents')
.update({
content,
auto_save_version: auto_save_version + 1,
updated_at: new Date().toISOString()
})
.eq('id', documentId)
.eq('user_id', session.user.id)
.eq('auto_save_version', auto_save_version) // Optimistic concurrency control
.select()
.single();
// Your conflict detection and resolution
if (error && error.code === 'PGRST116') {
return Response.json({ conflict: true, latest_version: currentVersion });
}
}
```
### Knowledge Base Search API
```typescript
// Full-text search with ranking (your search implementation)
export async function GET(request: Request) {
const { searchParams } = new URL(request.url);
const query = searchParams.get('q');
if (!query) {
return Response.json([]);
}
// Your optimized full-text search with ranking
const { data, error } = await supabase
.rpc('search_knowledge_files', {
search_query: query,
user_uuid: session.user.id
});
return Response.json(data || []);
}
-- Search function (your PostgreSQL implementation)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION search_knowledge_files(
search_query text,
user_uuid uuid
)
RETURNS TABLE (
id uuid,
filename text,
content text,
relevance real
) AS $$
BEGIN
RETURN QUERY
SELECT
kf.id,
kf.filename,
substring(kf.content, 1, 200) as content,
ts_rank(kf.content_vector, plainto_tsquery('english', search_query)) as relevance
FROM knowledge_files kf
WHERE
kf.user_id = user_uuid
AND kf.content_vector @@ plainto_tsquery('english', search_query)
ORDER BY relevance DESC
LIMIT 10;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql SECURITY DEFINER;
```
## Database Performance Patterns for GLOBAL_BRAIN
**Query Optimization Patterns You Contribute:**
### The Efficient Pagination Pattern
```sql
-- Pattern: Cursor-based pagination for large datasets
SELECT * FROM documents
WHERE user_id = $1
AND created_at < $2
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 20;
-- Avoid: OFFSET-based pagination (performance degrades with size)
-- Don't: SELECT * FROM documents OFFSET 1000 LIMIT 20;
```
### The Search Optimization Pattern
```sql
-- Pattern: GIN indexes for full-text search
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_content_search
ON knowledge_files USING GIN(content_vector);
-- Pattern: Partial indexes for common filters
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_user_documents_recent
ON documents(user_id, updated_at DESC)
WHERE updated_at > now() - interval '30 days';
```
### The JSON Query Optimization Pattern
```sql
-- Pattern: Efficient JSONB queries with indexes
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_documents_content_metadata
ON documents USING GIN((content -> 'metadata'));
-- Efficient JSON queries
SELECT * FROM documents
WHERE content @> '{"type": "script"}'
AND user_id = $1;
```
