rename(547): the plugin is grimoire — manifest, MCP key, hooks, env, skills
Step 3 of the Scribe -> Grimoire rename.

- Plugin `grimoire` in marketplace `grimoire-plugin`, MCP server key
  `grimoire`, so tools reach a session as mcp__plugin_grimoire_grimoire__*.
- hooks/scribe_* -> hooks/grimoire_*, their shell functions and the TMPDIR
  ledgers with them; SCRIBE_URL / SCRIBE_TOKEN / SCRIBE_HOOK_DIR /
  SCRIBE_LEDGER_DIRS -> GRIMOIRE_*; the project marker is `.grimoire`.
- skills/using-scribe -> using-grimoire, /grimoire:sync, stored processes
  arrive as grimoire-proc-<slug>; moment_actions names them the same way.
- Migration 0124 rewrites stored skill names (rule_moments,
  rule_moment_judgments, moment_mappings) from scribe:/scribe-proc- to
  grimoire:/grimoire-proc-, so a rule mounted on a skill keeps firing.
- Settings' install commands and MCP-only defaults, the docs and the
  tests follow.
- scripts/check_plugin.py drops the smoke event for a report-check hook
  that has no file in plugin/hooks.

Kept on purpose: the secret-sealing label, and the names that let backups
written as Scribe restore and be counted.

Projects: binding a directory, and starting one

Part of the using-grimoire skill. Read it when a working directory maps to no project, or when a new project is about to be created.

Binding a directory to a project

A directory does not have to be a git repo to have a project. A repo is bound by its remote (list_repo_bindings shows the bindings). Anything else — a notes folder, a server's config directory, a scratch directory — is bound by a .grimoire file naming the project:

{"instance": "https://grimoire.example.com", "project_id": 2, "project": "Homelab"}

instance is what makes the id trustworthy. An id means nothing on its own — it is a different project on every Grimoire — so a marker that has travelled to another instance is ignored rather than followed to the wrong project. A bare 2 also works when writing the file by hand. When work plainly belongs to a project and the directory names none, offer to write the marker; list_projects has the id.

Starting a project: decide what it inherits

A project's inheritance is a decision, not a default. Before create_project, ask the operator the two inception questions and pass the answers — never create a project bare by default:

  • which design system its UI is built from (list_design_systems; or none) → design_system_id=<id | -1>
  • whether to seed the standard starter Systems so records can be tagged from day one → seed_systems=true|false

Rules are not an inception question: a global rule already applies to every project, and a project's own rules are written on it as they come up.

If enter_project returns an inception key, the project was never decided (it inherits its defaults silently): raise that ask once, with the defaults it carries, then decide_project_inception(project_id, …). Existing projects were stamped "legacy" and do not ask; any project can be re-decided. The design-system and Systems tools still work one at a time — inception is the moment they are decided together, and the record of why.
