Define Recurring Review Registry Architecture
Today I defined the architecture for a future Recurring Review Registry in Abbey Root.
The goal is to create a reusable way to track recurring responsibilities such as documentation reviews, infrastructure checks, dependency reviews, and other maintenance activities.
The important part of this work was defining the boundaries before building anything.
The registry should provide awareness of recurring work without becoming another task tracker. Sessions remain the workflow for performing and documenting work, while the backlog remains the place for discrete improvements and changes.
The architecture defines:
- review definitions as the persistent description of recurring responsibilities
- scheduled occurrences as individual instances of those responsibilities
- review execution as the work performed
- evidence capture through sessions, journals, commits, and validation records
Future automation can build on this model, but implementation decisions such as storage format and CLI integration remain intentionally open.
This follows the Abbey principle of validating workflows before automating them.
