go test ./test/performance/... -v

Test Coverage

# Generate coverage report
go test -cover ./...

# Generate detailed coverage
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
go tool cover -html=coverage.out

Development

Building for Production

go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o ii

Database Operations

# Generate database code from SQL (requires sqlc)
sqlc generate

# Database migrations are automatically applied on startup
# Migration files are in: internal/db/migrations/

Code Generation

# Go template generation (future feature)
go run templates/projects/go_backend_gorm/cmd/standardize/main.go --config user_domain.yaml

Architecture

The Vision

Intelligence Interface isn't just another productivity tool - it's an AI-powered desktop environment that evolves with you. Think of Spaces like different desktops on your Mac - each one evolved over time for the work you regularly do:

• Knowledge Base Space: Like your personal library that has grown to understand exactly how you research and write
• Development Space: Like your workshop that has accumulated all the tools and configurations you've perfected over years of coding
• Social Space: Like your office setup that knows your team, your communication patterns, and your collaboration preferences

You switch between spaces with simple hotkeys, and each space remembers everything about how you like to work.
