- enter_project carries a `family` key, but only when the project has something to answer: counts of unassessed, owed and to-recheck answers, each with the list_family_adoptions call that lists it. It shows on every entry, never by platform touch: entry is when work is chosen, and an unanswered idea is otherwise invisible. - Retrieval: a widened project search (include_global_kinds) now also reaches the canon ideas on the project's platforms. It also reaches their references in the project's languages, or all of them when none matches. An off-platform project gets none, and the plain project filter (the duplicate gate) is unchanged. - Closing a task returns `family_owed`, the owed answers filed while it was open, and the report cue asks for them to be named. - New plugin skill family-canon (moment work.record) covers when to evaluate a promotion, answering in order, what counts as a reason, the precedent reflex and the conflict order. _INSTRUCTIONS, create_note, create_snippet, classify_shapes and reporting-back point at it. The plugin version is minted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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 (with an inception step that decides what each project inherits), 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.
