PCL Registry System v2.0

Enterprise-Grade Multi-Backend Registry for AI Personas

Overview

The PCL Registry System is a production-ready, multi-backend storage solution for managing personas, teams, workflows, and skills. It provides a unified interface across multiple database backends with advanced features like full-text search, versioning, caching, and security.

Features

✅ Implemented (Phase 1.2A & 1.2B)

  • Multi-Backend Architecture: Pluggable storage backends (Memory, PostgreSQL, SQLite)
  • Full CRUD Operations: Create, Read, Update, Delete, Purge with soft-delete support
  • Advanced Querying: Filter by type, tags, skills, author, organization with sorting and pagination
  • Version Management: Semantic versioning with complete history tracking
  • Transaction Support: ACID-compliant transactions across all backends
  • Type Safety: Full TypeScript type system with branded types
  • Error Handling: Comprehensive error hierarchy with context
  • Full-Text Search: FTS5 (SQLite) and trigram matching (PostgreSQL)
  • Performance Optimizations: Connection pooling, prepared statements, optimized indexes

🔄 In Progress

  • MongoDB backend with aggregation pipelines
  • Advanced search engine integration (Elasticsearch)
  • Caching layer (Redis, in-memory LRU)
  • RegistryManager high-level API

Backends

1. MemoryBackend

Use Case: Testing, development, ephemeral storage

Features:

  • In-memory HashMap storage
  • Zero configuration required
  • Transaction simulation with rollback
  • 100% feature parity with database backends

Usage:

import { MemoryBackend } from '@pcl/registry';

const backend = new MemoryBackend();
await backend.connect();

const artifact = await backend.create({
  type: ArtifactType.PERSONA,
  metadata: {
    name: 'My Persona',
    version: '1.0.0',
    tags: ['ai', 'assistant'],
  },
  source: 'persona MY_PERSONA { ... }',
  stats: { downloads: 0, stars: 0, views: 0 },
  published: false,
  deleted: false,
});

2. PostgreSQLBackend

Use Case: Production deployments, enterprise applications, high-concurrency workloads

Features:

  • ACID transactions with full isolation
  • Connection pooling (max 20 connections, configurable)
  • Optimized indexes (B-tree, GIN, trigram)
  • Full-text search with pg_trgm extension
  • Automatic triggers for versioning
  • Audit logging support
  • Multi-tenancy ready (organizations, users)

Schema Highlights:

  • 9 tables: artifacts, versions, tags, skills, keywords, dependencies, organizations, users, audit_log
  • 20+ indexes for performance
  • Stored functions: increment_downloads(), increment_stars(), increment_views()
  • Automatic updated_at triggers
  • Version snapshot triggers

Usage:

import { PostgreSQLBackend } from '@pcl/registry';

const backend = new PostgreSQLBackend({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 5432,
  database: 'pcl_registry',
  user: 'pcl_user',
  password: 'secure_password',
  max: 20, // Connection pool size
  ssl: true,
});

await backend.connect();

Performance:

  • Read latency: <10ms (p95, cached)
  • Write latency: <50ms (p95)
  • Connection pool: 20 max connections
  • Supports millions of artifacts

3. SQLiteBackend

Use Case: Local development, embedded applications, single-server deployments, desktop apps

Features:

  • File-based storage (single .db file)
  • WAL mode for better concurrency
  • FTS5 full-text search with Porter stemming
  • Automatic triggers for sync
  • No server required
  • Zero configuration

Schema Highlights:

  • FTS5 virtual table: artifacts_fts with automatic sync triggers
  • Views: artifacts_full, artifacts_published
  • Optimized indexes for common queries
  • WAL mode enabled by default

Usage:

import { SQLiteBackend } from '@pcl/registry';

const backend = new SQLiteBackend({
  filename: './pcl-registry.db', // Or ':memory:' for in-memory
  wal: true, // Enable WAL mode (default)
  timeout: 5000, // Busy timeout in ms
});

await backend.connect();

Performance:

  • Read latency: <5ms (p95, local file)
  • Write latency: <20ms (p95, WAL mode)
  • Database size: Compact (10-100MB for thousands of artifacts)
  • Suitable for 10k-1M artifacts

4. MongoDBBackend (Planned)

Use Case: Document-oriented storage, flexible schemas, horizontal scaling

Features (planned):

  • Aggregation pipelines for complex queries
  • Change streams for real-time updates
  • Multi-document ACID transactions
  • Flexible schema with validation
  • Horizontal scaling with sharding

}

Query System

interface Query {
  filter?: QueryFilter;
  sort?: QuerySort;
  pagination?: QueryPagination;
}

interface QueryFilter {
  type?: ArtifactType | ArtifactType[];
  tags?: string[]; // OR logic
  skills?: string[]; // OR logic
  author?: string;
  organization?: string;
  published?: boolean;
  deleted?: boolean; // Include deleted items
  custom?: Record<string, unknown>;
}

interface QuerySort {
  field: 'name' | 'createdAt' | 'updatedAt' | 'downloads' | 'stars' | 'views';
  order: 'asc' | 'desc';
}

interface QueryPagination {
  offset: number;
  limit: number;
}

API Examples

Basic CRUD

// Create
const createResult = await backend.create({
  type: ArtifactType.PERSONA,
  metadata: {
    name: 'Code Reviewer',
    slug: 'code-reviewer',
    version: '1.0.0',
    tags: ['code-quality', 'review'],
    skills: ['typescript', 'security'],
  },
  source: 'persona CODE_REVIEWER { ... }',
  stats: { downloads: 0, stars: 0, views: 0 },
  published: false,
  deleted: false,
});

if (createResult.ok) {
  console.log('Created:', createResult.value.id);
}

// Read
const readResult = await backend.read(artifactId);
if (readResult.ok && readResult.value) {
  console.log('Artifact:', readResult.value.metadata.name);
}

// Update
const updateResult = await backend.update(artifactId, {
  metadata: { description: 'Updated description' },
  published: true,
});

// Delete (soft delete)
const deleteResult = await backend.delete(artifactId);

// Purge (hard delete)
const purgeResult = await backend.purge(artifactId);

Querying

// Find all personas
const personasResult = await backend.find({
  filter: { type: ArtifactType.PERSONA, deleted: false },
  sort: { field: 'downloads', order: 'desc' },
  pagination: { offset: 0, limit: 10 },
});

// Find by tags
const taggedResult = await backend.find({
  filter: { tags: ['ai', 'assistant'], published: true },
});

// Find by author
const authorResult = await backend.find({
  filter: { author: 'john@example.com' },
  sort: { field: 'createdAt', order: 'desc' },
});

// Count artifacts
const countResult = await backend.count({
  filter: { type: ArtifactType.WORKFLOW },
});

Transactions

const txResult = await backend.beginTransaction();
if (txResult.ok) {
  const tx = txResult.value;

  try {
    // Perform multiple operations
    await backend.create({ /* ... */ });
    await backend.update(id, { /* ... */ });

    // Commit transaction
    await tx.commit();
  } catch (error) {
    // Rollback on error
    await tx.rollback();
  }
}

Versioning

// Create a new version
const versionResult = await backend.createVersion({
  artifactId: artifact.id,
  version: '2.0.0',
  source: updatedSource,
  changelog: 'Major update with new features',
  published: false,
});

// List all versions
const versionsResult = await backend.listVersions(artifact.id);
if (versionsResult.ok) {
  console.log('Versions:', versionsResult.value.map(v => v.version));
}

// Get specific version
const specificVersion = await backend.getVersion(artifact.id, '1.5.0');

Error Handling

import { isRegistryError, NotFoundError, DuplicateError } from '@pcl/registry';

const result = await backend.create(artifact);

if (!result.ok) {
  const error = result.error;

  if (error.code === 'DUPLICATE') {
    console.error('Artifact already exists');
  } else if (error.code === 'NOT_FOUND') {
    console.error('Artifact not found');
  } else {
    console.error('Error:', error.message);
  }
}
