Narrows theb7d6fc7widening per the operator's call, and fixes a regression it introduced. Decision recorded as note 2094. Two scopes now, deliberately different: readable_notes_clause — everything the ACL permits, including records reached only via a direct/group note share. For EXPLICIT acts: a search the caller typed, a fetch by id. browsable_notes_clause — the caller's own records plus anything in a project they can reach. For PASSIVE surfaces: browse lists, facet counts, the process->skill manifest. The split is a trust boundary. Anything appearing unasked — in your own list, your own counts, or as a skill installed on your machine — reads as material you endorsed. A one-off someone shared with you hasn't earned that standing, so it waits until you go looking. This also dissolves the shared-Process problem by construction rather than by special case: the manifest is a passive surface, so a directly-shared Process is never installed as an auto-surfacing skill. Regression fix (#2093):b7d6fc7widened the list queries but left the fetch path owner-only, so on the MCP path a record could be listed and then not opened — get_snippet raised not-found, get_process couldn't resolve, and the manifest emitted stubs whose get_process call would fail. snippets.get_snippet and notes.resolve_process now resolve the read scope. delete_snippet gained an explicit can_write_note guard, since being able to SEE a shared snippet must not imply being able to bin it. Provenance, so nothing arrives looking like the operator's own work: - access.describe_provenance / label_shared_items add shared/owner/permission; labelling costs no query when everything is the caller's own. - MCP: get_snippet, list_snippets, get_process and list_processes carry it, and get_process now says outright NOT to follow a shared process verbatim — its follow-as-written contract was the sharpest instance of the problem. - The skill stub for a shared Process names its author and asks for a go-ahead, instead of describing it as "the operator's saved Scribe process". - Policy stated once in the MCP _INSTRUCTIONS and the reusing-code skill: a shared record is that person's suggestion, weigh it, attribute it, ask before adopting it. - UI: shared snippets show "by <owner>" in the list and a notice above the code in the detail view, reusing SharedWithMeView's vocabulary.

Fabled Scribe
A self-hosted work system-of-record for software projects, built to be driven by Claude Code. Notes, tasks, issues, projects, milestones, rules, and stored processes — reachable from Claude via a built-in MCP endpoint and a bundled Claude Code plugin, with a clean web UI for humans. No in-app LLM; Claude is the sole assistant.
Features
Notes and tasks with a Markdown editor, sub-tasks, milestones, issues, and kanban project workspaces. Stored processes, an engineering rulebook system, and semantic search with proactive knowledge-injection into Claude's context. A knowledge graph, per-user/group sharing, and a built-in MCP server (/mcp) plus a bundled Claude Code plugin so Claude can record and recall your work directly.
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Docker and Docker Compose. No GPU or local model needed — Claude is the sole assistant, reached over MCP.
Download docker-compose.quickstart.yml from this repo, then:
# Optional but recommended — set a secret key
export SECRET_KEY=your-random-secret-here
docker compose -f docker-compose.quickstart.yml up -d
Open http://localhost:5000. The first user to register becomes admin. To connect Claude, create an API key under Settings → API Keys and install the Claude Code plugin — see API Keys & MCP.
Development: To build from source, see Development.
