MCP tool docstrings and comments, the server's orientation notes, the plugin
skills, every hook script and the plugin README/PACKAGING drop record ids,
milestone numbers, dates and incident stories, and state each non-obvious why
as a present-tense fact. History stays in the task logs.

Corrections found on the way:
- plugin README/PACKAGING said every hook is a GET; moment, rule-opened and
  reply-rules POST, so the plugin's key needs write scope. Both now say so,
  name Settings -> MCP Access, and list every wired hook and endpoint.
- the contract-change hint printed "(lesson #4207)", this instance's record,
  to every install. It no longer cites a record.
- tasks.py claimed there is no delete_task; there is.
- rulebooks.py cited delete_event and a design spec that no longer exist.
- scribe_after_write.sh carried an always-empty etag_q; removed.
- test_write_path_trigger pinned "| tac | scribe_defs | head -1", text that
  existed only in a comment about the old code; it now pins the real tail -1
  pipeline.
- docs/development.md: CI runs on Gitea Actions.

This is the maintainer contract for shipping Scribe into an agent client:
what every client package shares, what each one adds, and where a new client's
files go. It follows from decision #4027 (milestone 410): **the server orients,
files go. One principle governs it: **the server orients,
the skills hold the depth, and a client adapter only times delivery and says
what that one client needs said.**

| **The skills** | `plugin/skills/*/SKILL.md` | Agent Skills (the open SKILL.md format). They state every Scribe reflex in full and name no client. `tests/test_guidance_ownership.py` fails if a skill names a particular client, or references anything outside its own folder. Every client package ships this folder verbatim. |
| **The MCP server** | `<base URL>/mcp` | HTTP, `Authorization: Bearer <fmcp_ key>`. Its `_INSTRUCTIONS` is a client-neutral orientation — the workflow across tools (≤1,600 chars, #4389); each tool's description carries its contract; in-band responses (`placement`, `report_back`, `systems_hint`, the duplicate gate, the guessed-id refusal) fire in every client. |
| **The adapter API** | `<base URL>/api/plugin/*` | Plain `GET` endpoints any client's hooks can call with the same key (read scope is enough): `context` (live session state), `retrieve` (rules, preferences and notes for a message), `prior-art` (records and shape-ledger hints for code being written), `tool-rules` (rules for a command about to run), `reply-rules` (a `POST`: the finished reply, held for an unopened rule or — when the turn closed a task — for missing completion sections), `processes` (stored Processes to expose as skills). |
| **The API key** | Scribe → Settings → API Keys | One `fmcp_` key per install. Read scope for hooks; write scope for the MCP tools. |

## How other clients would map
**Researched, not tested** (spike #4023, September 2026). Re-check each client's current docs before building.
**Researched, not tested.** Re-check each client's current docs before building.
- **Agent Plugins 1.0** (Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot / VS Code, Kiro, ChatGPT): a root `plugin.json`, a `skills/` folder, and an `mcp.json`. That is the same `plugin/skills/` plus two small files. Hooks, commands and rules are not part of v1; each client adds its own under a reverse-domain directory (e.g. `com.<client>/`) that other clients ignore.
- **Gemini CLI**: `gemini-extension.json` configuring the MCP server, a context file, and bundled skills.
