## What This Covers

### 1. URL Shortener (Production App)
A **production-ready URL shortener** with **live click analytics**, deployed entirely on **Cloudflare's edge infrastructure**. No accounts, no databases to manage, no servers to maintain. Just paste a long URL, get a short one, and watch the clicks roll in.

📄 See below for full URL Shortener documentation.

### 2. Assistant Workspace (Agent Project)
An **AI agent starter** built with Cloudflare Agents SDK + TypeScript, living at:

```
/home/user/03-projects/assistant-workspace/
```

Copied from `.agents/skills/agents-sdk/my-agent/`. Purpose-built for autonomous agent behavior using the Cloudflare Workers platform.

#### Quick Start
```bash
cd /home/user/03-projects/assistant-workspace
npx wrangler dev    # local dev
npx wrangler deploy  # production
```

## 🛠️ Tech Stack (URL Shortener)

| Layer | Technology | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Edge Runtime** | Cloudflare Workers | URL shortening, redirects, API endpoints |
| **Static Sites** | Cloudflare Pages | Dashboard + React app deployment |
| **Database** | Cloudflare D1 (SQLite) | Store URLs, click counts, click timestamps |
| **Frontend (Dashboard)** | Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS | Lightweight, fast, no build step |
| **Frontend (React App)** | React 19 + Vite 6 | Modern SPA with same features |
| **CI/CD** | GitHub Actions | Auto-deploy on `git push master` |
| **Custom Domains** | Cloudflare DNS | `*.ai-handoff.work` |

**Agent Workspace uses:** Cloudflare Workers + Agents SDK + TypeScript + Vitest

* * *

## 🌐 Custom Domains (URL Shortener)

All domains point to Cloudflare infrastructure and are **proxied** (CDN + security enabled):
| Domain | Target | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `shit.ai-handoff.work` | Worker API | ✅ Live (200) |
| `dash.ai-handoff.work` | Dashboard (Pages `shrtlink`) | ✅ Live (200) |
| `app.ai-handoff.work` | React App (Pages `shrtlink-app`) | ✅ Live (200) |

**Why custom domains?**

*   Professional URLs (not `workers.dev` or `pages.dev`)
*   SSL certificates auto-provisioned by Cloudflare
*   CDN caching at the edge
*   DDoS protection via Cloudflare

* * *

## ✨ Features (URL Shortener)

### 1. URL Shortening
*   Paste any `http://` or `https://` URL
*   Get a 6-character short code (e.g., `f5RHkl`)
*   Short URL: `https://shit.ai-handoff.work/f5RHkl`
*   **Strict validation**: rejects `javascript:`, `ftp://`, etc.
*   **Dedupe**: shortening the same URL twice returns the existing code

### 2. Live Dashboard
*   **Total links count** (real-time from D1)
*   **Total clicks count** (sum of all link clicks)
*   **Table of all links** with:
  *   Short URL (clickable)
  *   Destination URL (truncated if >60 chars)
  *   Click count (badge)
  *   14-day trend sparkline (SVG bar chart)
  *   Creation date
  *   Copy button (⎘ → ✓ with clipboard API)
*   **Auto-refresh** every 15 seconds

### 3. Click Analytics
*   **Per-click tracking**: every redirect logs a timestamp to `clicks` table
*   **Daily buckets**: `/api/trends/:code` returns `{day, n}` for last 14 days
*   **Sparkline visualization**: inline SVG bar chart per link
*   **Zero data loss**: historical clicks preserved even if URL is deleted

### 4. Developer Experience
*   **Auto-deploy**: push to `master` → GitHub Actions → Cloudflare
*   **Local dev**: `npm run dev` (Vite) + `wrangler dev` (Worker)
*   **Type-safe**: D1 queries via Wrangler bindings
*   **Testable**: Playwright E2E tests in `/tmp/*.mjs`

* * *

## 🗄️ Database Schema (URL Shortener - D1)

### `urls` table

```sql
CREATE TABLE urls (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  code TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,           -- 6-char short code
  url TEXT NOT NULL,                   -- original URL
  clicks INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,   -- running total
  created_at DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
```

### `clicks` table (migration 002)

```sql
CREATE TABLE clicks (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  code TEXT NOT NULL,
  clicked_at DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  FOREIGN KEY (code) REFERENCES urls(code)
);
CREATE INDEX idx_clicks_code ON clicks(code, clicked_at);
```

**Why two tables?**

*   `urls.clicks` = fast counter for the dashboard badge
*   `clicks` table = per-click history for trend charts

* * *

## 🔌 API Endpoints (URL Shortener)

All endpoints on `https://shit.ai-handoff.work`:

### `POST /api/shorten`

**Request:**

```json
{ "url": "https://example.com/very/long/path" }
```

**Response (200):**

```json
{
  "shortUrl": "https://shit.ai-handoff.work/f5RHkl",
  "code": "f5RHkl",
  "dedupe": false
}
```

**Errors:**
*   `400` — invalid URL, missing `url` field
*   `500` — internal error

### `GET /api/links`

**Response (200):**

```json
{
  "links": [
    {
      "code": "f5RHkl",
      "url": "https://example.com/long/path",
      "clicks": 42,
      "created_at": "2026-08-12T03:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

### `GET /api/trends/:code`

**Response (200):**

```json
{
  "code": "f5RHkl",
  "daily": [
    { "day": "2026-08-11", "n": 3 },
    { "day": "2026-08-12", "n": 4 }
  ]
}
```

### `GET /{code}` (redirect)

**Behavior:**
*   301 Moved Permanently → original URL
*   Increments `urls.clicks` + logs to `clicks` table
*   CORS headers for cross-origin requests

* * *

## Key Design Decisions (URL Shortener)

### Why Cloudflare?
*   **Edge runtime**: Workers execute at the edge (closest to user)
*   **Free tier**: 100K requests/day on Workers, 10K on D1
*   **Zero config**: No servers, no scaling, no DevOps
*   **Built-in SSL**: Automatic HTTPS for custom domains

### Why D1 (SQLite) instead of KV?
*   **SQL queries**: need `GROUP BY`, `ORDER BY`, `JOIN` for analytics
*   **Relational**: `clicks` table references `urls` table
*   **Cost**: D1 is cheaper than Vectorize for this use case

### Why two frontends?
*   **Dashboard** (vanilla): lightweight, fast, no build step
*   **React app** (Vite): modern SPA, same features, different UI
*   **Proof of concept**: shows both approaches work on Cloudflare

### Why 6-character codes?
*   **Short**: `f5RHkl` is memorable
*   **Collision-resistant**: 62^6 = 56 billion combinations
*   **URL-friendly**: no special characters, no encoding needed

* * *

## 🚧 Known Limitations (URL Shortener)

1.  **No user accounts**: anyone with the link can see the dashboard
2.  **No custom codes**: codes are randomly generated (no `bit.ly`-style custom slugs)
3.  **No link expiration**: links never expire (can add TTL later)
4.  **No QR codes**: short URLs are text only (can add QR generation)
5.  **No mobile app**: web-only (can add PWA later)

* * *

## 🔮 Future Enhancements

### High Priority (URL Shortener)
- [ ] **Cloudflare Access**: lock `dash.ai-handoff.work` behind login
- [ ] **Custom codes**: allow users to set their own short URL
- [ ] **Link groups**: organize links into campaigns
- [ ] **Export data**: download click analytics as CSV/JSON

### Medium Priority (URL Shortener)
- [ ] **QR codes**: generate QR for each short URL
- [ ] **UTM tracking**: append `?utm_source=twitter` to destination
- [ ] **Link expiration**: set TTL
- [ ] **Click geo**: log country/region per click

### Low Priority (URL Shortener)
- [ ] **Mobile PWA**: installable app with offline support
- [ ] **Browser extension**: right-click → "Shorten this URL"
- [ ] **API keys**: rate-limit per user
- [ ] **Webhooks**: notify on new click

| `0562e49` | ci: use npx wrangler for all deployments | Aug 12 |

* * *

## 💡 Lessons Learned (URL Shortener)

1.  **Custom domains need DNS records**: Cloudflare Pages doesn't auto-create CNAME for all subdomains — had to manually add `app → shrtlink-app.pages.dev`
2.  **D1 migrations are idempotent**: `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` is safe to run multiple times
3.  **Click logging is cheap**: D1 is SQLite, so logging every click is fine
4.  **Sparklines are easy**: inline SVG with `<rect>` elements, no chart library needed
5.  **GitHub Actions secrets are mandatory**: workflow fails silently if secrets are missing
6.  **Wrangler CLI is powerful**: `npx wrangler pages deploy` works from any directory

## 💡 Lessons Learned (Agent Workspace)

1.  **Agent skills stored in `.agents/skills/`** — the canonical source for agent templates
2.  **Working copies go in `03-projects/`** — keeps active projects organized alongside other work
3.  **Sync when relevant** — changes to upstream agent skills should be reflected in the working copy
