+# Peptide Search AI — Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+Peptide Search AI is a WordPress plugin that transforms sites into intelligent, self-growing peptide databases. Visitors search for peptides using an AJAX search form—if a result exists, it displays instantly; if not, the plugin automatically validates the peptide name via lightweight AI, creates a placeholder post, and queues comprehensive content generation in the background via WP-Cron. The generated entry includes molecular data, mechanism of action, research applications, safety profiles, and PubChem cross-reference enrichment. All functionality is non-blocking, respects rate limits, and supports multiple search instances on a single page.

+
+## External API Integrations
+
+### OpenRouter (AI Generation & Validation)
+
+**Purpose:** Access hundreds of language models (Gemini, Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, etc.) for peptide validation and full content generation.
+
+**Code Locations:**
+- **Validation:** `includes/class-psa-ai-generator.php` → `PSA_AI_Generator::validate_peptide_name()` (lines 32–90)
+ - Uses fast, cheap validation model (default: `google/gemini-2.0-flash-001`)
+ - Prompt: `PSA_AI_Generator::build_validation_prompt()` (validates peptide name only)
+ - Transient cache: 24 hours to avoid repeated API calls
+
+- **Full Generation:** `includes/class-psa-ai-generator.php` → `PSA_AI_Generator::generate_peptide_content()` (lines 196–220)
+ - Uses capable generation model (default: `google/gemini-2.5-flash`)
+ - Prompt: `PSA_AI_Generator::build_generation_prompt()` (full JSON structure)
+ - Max tokens: 4096
+ - Called via WP-Cron (non-blocking)
+
+- **API Call:** `includes/class-psa-ai-generator.php` → `PSA_AI_Generator::call_openrouter()` (private static method)
+ - Endpoint: `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions`
+ - Requires API key: database `psa_settings['api_key']` or constant `PSA_OPENROUTER_KEY`
+ - Retry logic: 3 retries with exponential backoff (5s base delay)
+
+**Configuration:** `Settings > Peptide Search AI` in WordPress admin
+- API Key field (or via `PSA_OPENROUTER_KEY` in wp-config.php for security)
+- Generation Model input (leave blank for default)
+- Validation Model input (leave blank for default)
+
+### PubChem PUG REST API
+
+**Purpose:** Verify molecular data (weight, formula, SMILES, InChI) for generated peptides to ensure scientific accuracy.
+
+**Code Location:** `includes/class-psa-pubchem.php`
+
+- **Lookup Entry:** `PSA_PubChem::lookup()` (lines 23–74)
+ - Checks if enabled via setting `use_pubchem`
+ - Caches results: not found (12h), success (7d), errors (1h)
+
+- **CID Lookup:** `PSA_PubChem::get_cid_by_name()` (lines 82–107)
+ - Endpoint: `https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/rest/pug/compound/name/{name}/cids/JSON`
+ - Returns PubChem Compound ID
+
+- **Properties Fetch:** `PSA_PubChem::get_properties()` (lines 115–151)
+ - Endpoint: `https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/rest/pug/compound/cid/{cid}/property/[list]/JSON`
+ - Extracts: molecular formula, weight, IUPAC name, SMILES, InChI
+
+**Integration:** In `PSA_AI_Generator::background_generate()` (lines 143–152)
+- Calls PubChem after AI generation completes
+- Merges results in `save_peptide_meta()` (lines 263–268): PubChem molecular data takes precedence
+- Stores PubChem CID in post meta (`psa_pubchem_cid`)
+- Sets source badge to `'pubchem'` if data found, `'ai-generated'` otherwise
+
+**Configuration:** `Settings > Peptide Search AI` → "PubChem Enrichment" checkbox
+
+## Key Architectural Decisions
+
+### 1. Custom Post Type + Post Meta vs. Custom Tables
+
+**Decision:** Use CPT (`post_type='peptide'`) with post meta fields (`psa_*`).
+
+**Rationale:**
+- **WordPress integration:** Leverage native post, user, revision, and permission systems.
+- **Revisions & history:** Posts automatically support edit history; rollback is trivial.
+- **Ecosystem:** Works with WP REST API, WP-CLI, backup/migration plugins without custom code.
+- **Scalability:** Post meta queries are indexed and optimized; joins across postmeta are standard WP practice.
+- **Admin UX:** Native post editor, meta boxes, publish workflow familiar to non-technical users.
+
+### 2. WP-Cron for Background Generation
+
+**Decision:** Use `wp_schedule_single_event()` and `spawn_cron()` for non-blocking generation.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- **Non-blocking:** User gets "pending" response immediately; server doesn't wait for AI API calls.
+- **Reliability:** WP-Cron integrates with WordPress; admin can reschedule failed tasks via hooks.
+- **Cost control:** AI API calls happen in background; can rate-limit globally via daily cap (50/day).
+- **Simplicity:** No external job queue infrastructure (Redis, RabbitMQ) required.
+
+**Trade-off:** WP-Cron triggers only when site receives traffic; if silent periods occur, delayed execution possible.
+
+### 3. OpenRouter as AI Provider
+
+**Decision:** Use OpenRouter API instead of single model (e.g., OpenAI only) or self-hosted LLM.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- **Model flexibility:** Users can choose cheap/fast models for validation (Gemini Flash, Llama Scout) or high-quality models for generation (Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek).
+- **Cost optimization:** Separate validation model (cheaper) from generation model (better quality).
+- **No vendor lock-in:** Switch models without code changes.
+- **Reduced CORS/auth complexity:** Single API key, consistent endpoint.
+
+**Trade-off:** Depends on third-party SaaS; requires API key management and cost monitoring.
+
+### 4. Orphan Deploy Branch
+
+**Decision:** CI/CD creates an orphan `deploy` branch containing only production-ready files (assets, includes, main plugin file, readme.txt).
+
+**Rationale:**
+- **Clean deployment:** Development files (CI scripts, docs, tests) don't ship to production.
+- **Hostinger deployment:** SSH-based git pull simplicity; can reset to `origin/deploy` without merge conflicts.
+- **Security:** `.env`, `.github/workflows`, `composer.json` stay in dev; never push secrets.
+- **Staging safety:** Deploy branch is immutable until main passes all CI checks.
+
+**Implementation:** `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` (lines 110–145) checks out main, removes all files, then re-adds only whitelisted files, commits, and pushes to deploy branch.
+
+### 5. Transient Caching
+
+**Decision:** Use WordPress transients for validation results, search cache, rate limits, and PubChem lookups.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- **Simple API:** `get_transient()`, `set_transient()` with TTL is trivial compared to cache frameworks.
+- **No schema:** Transients auto-expire; no cleanup scripts required.
+- **Respects site config:** Uses WordPress-configured cache backend (database, Redis, memcached, etc.).
+- **Rate limit tracking:** Each client IP stored as transient with 1-hour TTL per PSA_Config.
+
+**TTLs in use:**
+- Validation cache: 24 hours (avoid repeated AI calls for same peptide name)
+- Search cache: 6 hours (invalidated on post save)
+- PubChem cache: 7 days for hits, 12 hours for misses
+- Rate limit counters: 1 hour per request window
+
+## Data Storage
+
+### Post Meta Fields (PSA_Post_Type::META_FIELDS)
+
+All stored on peptide posts as post meta:
+
+| Key | Label | Type | Source |
+|-----|-------|------|--------|
+| `psa_sequence` | Amino Acid Sequence | Text | AI |
+| `psa_molecular_weight` | Molecular Weight | Text | PubChem (preferred) or AI |
+| `psa_molecular_formula` | Molecular Formula | Text | PubChem (preferred) or AI |
+| `psa_aliases` | Aliases / Synonyms | Text | AI |
+| `psa_mechanism` | Mechanism of Action | Text | AI |
+| `psa_research_apps` | Research Applications | Text | AI |
+| `psa_safety_profile` | Safety & Side Effects | Text | AI |
+| `psa_dosage_info` | Dosage Information | Text | AI |
+| `psa_references` | References & Citations | Text | AI |
+| `psa_source` | Data Source (badge) | Enum: `ai-generated\|pubchem\|manual\|pending\|failed` | System |
+| `psa_pubchem_cid` | PubChem Compound ID | Integer | PubChem |
+| `psa_generation_started` | Generation start timestamp | Unix timestamp | System (temporary, deleted on completion) |
+| `psa_generation_attempts` | Retry counter | Integer | System (temporary) |
+| `psa_generation_error` | Error message (if generation failed) | Text | System (temporary) |
+| `psa_generation_completed` | Generation completion timestamp | Unix timestamp | System |
+
+### Options (Plugin Settings)
+
+Stored in `wp_options` table:
+
+```php
+$psa_settings = array(
+ 'api_key' => 'sk-...', // OpenRouter API key (or use PSA_OPENROUTER_KEY constant)
+ 'ai_model' => 'google/gemini-2.5-flash', // Full generation model
+ 'validation_model' => 'google/gemini-2.0-flash-001', // Lightweight validation model
+ 'auto_publish' => 'draft|publish', // Auto-publish strategy
+ 'use_pubchem' => '1|0', // Enable PubChem enrichment
+);
+```
+
+## Frontend Architecture
+
+### JavaScript (jQuery-based)
+
+**File:** `assets/js/peptide-search.js` (214 lines)
+
+- **Multiple instances:** Each `[peptide_search]` shortcode gets a unique instance scoped to `.psa-search-wrap` container.
+- **AJAX handler:** `initSearchInstance()` (lines 20–204) manages form submission, input events, result rendering.
+- **Debouncing:** Input changes debounced 400ms to avoid excessive AJAX calls.
+- **Response handling:**
+ - `status: 'found'` → render results with title, molecular data, source badge, excerpt, link to single page
+ - `status: 'pending'` → show "currently being added" message
+ - `status: 'invalid'` → show "peptide not recognized" message
+ - `status: 'rate_limited'` → show rate limit error
+- **Error handling:** Network, timeout, server errors caught and displayed to user.
+
+### CSS (BEM-inspired class structure)
+
+**File:** `assets/css/peptide-search.css` (388 lines)
+
+- **Prefix:** All classes prefixed `.psa-` (Peptide Search AI) to avoid conflicts.
+- **Search form:** `.psa-search-input-wrap`, `.psa-search-input`, `.psa-search-btn`
+- **Results:** `.psa-result-item`, `.psa-result-title`, `.psa-result-meta`, `.psa-result-badge`
+- **States:** `.psa-checking`, `.psa-pending`, `.psa-invalid`, `.psa-error`
+- **Single page:** `.psa-peptide-data`, `.psa-quick-facts`, `.psa-facts-table`, `.psa-source-badge`
+- **Responsive:** Mobile breakpoint at 600px for touch-friendly search and collapsed table layout.
+- **Colors:** Blue (`#2563eb`) for primary actions, green for verified, yellow for AI-generated, blue for manual.
+
+### Shortcode Rendering
+
+**Location:** `PSA_Search::render_search_form()` (lines 117–162 in class-psa-search.php)
+
+- Instance counter ensures unique `data-psa-instance` attributes on multiple shortcodes.
+- Form structure: input + submit button in flex container.
+- Result containers pre-rendered (hidden) for AJAX population.
+- ARIA attributes for accessibility: `role="search"`, `aria-live="polite"`, `aria-busy` toggle.
+
+### Asset Loading
+
+**Location:** `psa_maybe_enqueue_assets()` in main plugin file (lines 63–86)
+
+- Conditional: load only on:
+ - Front page (hero search)
+ - KB page (page ID 73 or slug `peptide-database`)
+ - Posts/pages containing `[peptide_search]` shortcode
+ - Single peptide pages (`is_singular('peptide')`)
+- Script localization: `psaAjax` object with `ajaxurl` and nonce injected to frontend.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- **CSRF:** All AJAX calls include nonce verification (`psa_search_nonce`).
+- **Rate limiting:** IP-based transient tracking; AJAX (10/hour), REST API (20/hour).
+- **API key:** Stored in options table (fallback) or wp-config.php constant `PSA_OPENROUTER_KEY` (preferred).
+- **Sanitization:** All user inputs sanitized via `sanitize_text_field()`, `wp_unslash()`, `wp_kses_post()`.
+- **Peptide name validation:** Pre-AI-call character validation blocks obvious injection attempts.
+- **SQL injection:** All database queries use `wpdb->prepare()` with placeholders.
+- **Output escaping:** HTML output escaped via `esc_html()`, `esc_attr()`, `esc_url()`.
+
+## Performance Optimizations
+
+- **Post caching:** `_prime_post_caches()` and `update_meta_cache()` batch-load posts and meta (lines 458–459 in class-psa-search.php).
+- **Transient caching:** Search results cached 6 hours; invalidated on post save.
+- **Conditional asset loading:** CSS/JS only loaded on relevant pages.
+- **Lazy PubChem:** Optional, can be disabled via setting.
+- **Daily generation cap:** 50/day to limit API costs.
+- **Separate validation model:** Fast/cheap model for upfront validation to reduce full-generation calls.
+
+## Testing
+
+**CI Pipeline:** `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
+- PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.3 syntax checks
+- WordPress Coding Standards (PHPCS) validation
+- JavaScript syntax checks (Node.js)
+
+**Manual Testing Checklist:**
+- Search for existing peptide → results appear
+- Search for new peptide (valid) → "pending" message → check back → content generated
+- Search for invalid peptide → "not recognized" message
+- Test rate limits (10/hour AJAX, 20/hour REST API)
+- Verify PubChem data merges correctly
+- Test auto-publish on/off
+- Verify shortcode works multiple times on same page
+- Test on mobile (600px breakpoint)
+
+## Deployment
+
+See `.github/workflows/deploy.yml`:
+1. Push to main triggers CI tests.
+2. If tests pass, validate deployment readiness (required files, no sensitive data).
+3. Sync clean files to orphan `deploy` branch.
+4. SSH to Hostinger, git pull `deploy` branch into plugin directory.
+5. Verify deployment (check version, required files exist).

+# Peptide Search AI — Code Conventions
+
+## Step-by-Step Guides
+
+### Adding a New AI Provider
+
+If you want to support a different AI service (e.g., Claude API, LLaMA Cloud, Azure OpenAI) instead of or alongside OpenRouter:
+
+1. **Create a new provider class:** `includes/class-psa-[provider]-ai.php`
+ ```php
+ PSA_Claude_AI::generate_peptide_content( $name ),
+ 'openrouter' => PSA_AI_Generator::generate_peptide_content( $name ),
+ default => new WP_Error( 'unknown_provider', "Provider '$provider' not supported" ),
+ };
+ ```
+
+5. **Update settings sanitizer:** In `PSA_Admin::sanitize_settings()`, add provider field:
+ ```php
+ 'ai_provider' => sanitize_text_field( $input['ai_provider'] ?? 'openrouter' ),
+ ```
+
+6. **Document settings:** Update `readme.txt` with new provider option.
+
+### Adding a New Setting
+
+To add a new admin configurable setting (e.g., "Prompt language", "Max retries"):
+
+1. **Define constant in PSA_Config:** `includes/class-psa-config.php`
+ ```php
+ const MY_NEW_SETTING_DEFAULT = 'some_value';
+ ```
+
+2. **Add to settings sanitizer:** `includes/class-psa-admin.php`
+ ```php
+ public static function sanitize_settings( $input ) {
+ return array(
+ // ... existing fields
+ 'my_new_setting' => sanitize_text_field( $input['my_new_setting'] ?? '' ),
+ );
+ }
+ ```
+
+3. **Register settings field:** In `PSA_Admin::register_settings()`
+ ```php
+ add_settings_field(
+ 'my_new_setting',
+ __( 'My New Setting', 'peptide-search-ai' ),
+ array( __CLASS__, 'render_my_new_setting_field' ),
+ 'peptide-search-ai',
+ 'psa_behavior_section' // or 'psa_ai_section'
+ );
+ ```
+
+4. **Create field renderer:** Add method to `PSA_Admin` class
+ ```php
+ public static function render_my_new_setting_field() {
+ $value = self::get_setting( 'my_new_setting', '' );
+ ?>
+
+
Category: ' . esc_html( $categories[0]->name ) . '
'; + } + ``` + +5. **Filter search by category:** Extend `PSA_Search::search_peptides()` to accept optional `category` parameter: + ```php + public static function search_peptides( $query, $category = null ) { + // ... existing search logic + if ( $category ) { + // JOIN with taxonomy terms + } + } + ``` + +6. **Allow REST API filtering:** Update REST route in `PSA_Search::register_rest_routes()` + ```php + 'args' => array( + 'q' => array( ... ), + 'category' => array( + 'sanitize_callback' => 'sanitize_text_field', + ), + ), + ``` + +## Naming Conventions + +### CSS Classes (`.psa-*`) + +All

Set editor to use tabs. + +2. **Yoda Conditions:** Place constants/variables on left side of comparison: + ```php + // Good + if ( 'pending' === $source ) { ... } + if ( true === $is_valid ) { ... } + + // Avoid + if ( $source === 'pending' ) { ... } + ``` + +3. **String Escaping:** Always escape output to the browser: + ```php + // Good + echo esc_html( $peptide_name ); + echo esc_attr( $class_name ); + echo wp_kses_post( $post_content ); + echo esc_url( $permalink ); + + // Avoid + echo $peptide_name; + ``` + +4. **Sanitization:** Always sanitize user input: + ```php + // Good + $query = sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( $_GET['q'] ?? '' ) ); + $content = wp_kses_post( wp_unslash( $_POST['content'] ?? '' ) ); + + // Avoid + $query = $_GET['q']; + ``` + +5. **Spacing:** + - No spaces inside parentheses: `if ( $condition )` not `if( $condition )` + - Space after keywords: `if`, `foreach`, `function`, `return` + - Space around operators: `$a = $b + $c` not `$a=$b+$c` + +6. **Line length:** Keep lines under 120 characters (configure in `.phpcs.xml.dist`). + +7. **Function documentation:** Use PHPDoc for all functions/methods: + ```php + /** + * Brief description of what this does. + * + * Longer description if needed. Can span multiple lines. + * + * @param string $name The peptide name to validate. + * @param int $post_id Optional post ID (default 0). + * @return array|WP_Error Result array or error. + */ + public static function validate_peptide_name( $name, $post_id = 0 ) { + // ... + } + ``` + +8. **No shorthand PHP tags:** Use `` to prevent accidental whitespace. + +### JavaScript Formatting + +1. **Quote style:** Use single quotes for strings (consistent with WordPress JS standards). + +2. **Semicolons:** Always end statements with `;` + +3. **Indentation:** 4 spaces (or match project setting). + +4. **Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE):** Wrap in `(function ($) { ... })(jQuery)` to avoid global scope pollution. + +5. **Comment blocks:** + ```javascript + /** + * Render search results. + */ + function renderResults(data) { + // ... implementation + } + ``` + +6. **jQuery document-ready:** Use `$(document).ready()` only for initialization, not for every event handler. + +7. **Error handling:** Always handle AJAX errors: + ```javascript + $.ajax({ + success: function (response) { ... }, + error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) { ... } + }); + ``` + +### CSS Formatting + +1. **Class naming:** Lowercase, hyphens, `.psa-` prefix (see CSS Naming Conventions section). + +2. **Property order:** Use logical grouping: + ```css + .psa-button { + /* Layout */ + display: inline-block; + width: 100%; + + /* Spacing */ + padding: 10px; + margin: 5px 0; + + /* Colors */ + background: #2563eb; + color: #fff; + + /* Typography */ + font-size: 16px; + font-weight: 600; + + /* Transitions */ + transition: background 0.2s; + } + ``` + +3. **Media queries:** Place at end of component or in separate section. + +4. **No IDs:** Use classes only (except for single shortcode instances managed by JS). + +5. **Scoped to plugin:** Never style global elements; always scope via `.psa-` classes. + +### Composer & Dependencies + +1. **composer.json:** Declared dependencies in `require` and `require-dev`. + ```json + "require": { + "php": ">=7.4" + }, + "require-dev": { + "phpunit/phpunit": "^9.0 || ^10.0", + "squizlabs/php_codesniffer": "^3.7", + "wp-coding-standards/wpcs": "^3.0" + } + ``` + +2. **PSR-4 Autoload:** Classes in `includes/` can be autoloaded via `PSA\` namespace (not currently used, but available). + +3. **PHPCS:** Run `composer run lint` before committing: + ```bash + composer install + composer run lint + composer run lint:fix # Auto-fix formatting issues + ``` + +## Summary Table + +| Aspect | Pattern | Example | +|--------|---------|---------| +| **CSS Classes** | `.psa-{name}` | `.psa-search-wrap`, `.psa-badge-verified` | +| **PHP Functions** | `psa_{action}()` | `psa_init()`, `psa_enqueue_frontend_assets()` | +| **PHP Classes** | `PSA_{Name}` | `PSA_Search`, `PSA_AI_Generator` | +| **Class Methods** | `method_name()` | `validate_peptide_name()`, `render_search_form()` | +| **Post Meta** | `psa_{field}` | `psa_sequence`, `psa_molecular_weight` | +| **Constants** | `PSA_{NAME}` | `PSA_VERSION`, `PSA_CONFIG::MAX_TOKENS` | +| **Action Hooks** | `psa_{event}` | `psa_peptide_created`, `psa_after_generation` | +| **Filter Hooks** | `psa_{noun}_{context}` | `psa_search_results`, `psa_peptide_meta` | +| **Indentation** | Tabs | 1 tab = indentation level | +| **Line Length** | <120 chars | Configure in `.phpcs.xml.dist` | +| **Escaping** | `esc_*()` always | `esc_html()`, `esc_attr()`, `wp_kses_post()` | +| **Sanitizing** | `sanitize_*()` always | `sanitize_text_field()`, `wp_unslash()` |
