Rename automation repos to effect-named prefixes: reports-activityreporter-activity, workflow-backupstask-backups #383

Description

@mmcky

The draft repository-naming standard (QEP-3, discussion at QuantEcon/qeps#7) registers two effect-named automation prefixes: reporter-* for read-only automation that observes and writes reports or digests, and task-* for automation with write access to org resources executing recurring chores. The two incumbents rename into that pair:

Current New Why
reports-activity reporter-activity Read-only observer writing periodic activity digests
workflow-backups task-backups Write-access automation executing a recurring backup chore

workflow- names the mechanism rather than the role (every repository has .github/workflows/), and reports-* would be a single-member family — reasoning recorded in the QEP's alternatives.

Both repos are actively maintained, so per the draft's migration policy the renames ride on normal maintenance rather than a campaign. GitHub auto-redirects the old repo URLs and git remotes.

Checklist per repo:

  • Rename the repo in Settings
  • Check scheduled workflows, tokens/secrets scopes, and any hard-coded repo paths in workflow files
  • Update inbound references (org docs, team manual, dashboards that link the repo)
  • Notify anyone with local clones to update remotes
