Step 2 of milestone 410 "One owner per piece of guidance". Skills are the part of every client package shared verbatim (Agent Skills, decision #4027), so they state each reflex in full and name no particular client. using-scribe gains what only the static session context said: - a retrieved rule outranks a default habit; ask when no rule speaks to it - log on completing a task and on hitting a problem, not only successes - the systems_hint on an untagged record is the tagging question, answered at the moment of work Client-specific text leaves the skills, rewritten as the universal idea: - using-scribe: "keep one copy" no longer names CLAUDE.md, MEMORY.md, native auto-memory or autoMemoryEnabled; "this plugin" becomes Scribe - reusing-code / shape-accounting: Write/Edit and Bash become editor tools and shell edits; the prior-art "hook" becomes the prior-art hint; a plugin version number is dropped tests/test_guidance_ownership.py: - test_the_skills_name_no_particular_client fails on any Claude Code path, memory file, slash command, hook event or tool name in a skill, each marker commented with why it is client-specific; a companion test shows it can fail - three registry topics for what using-scribe now owns; the loss guard stays green Plugin version minted.

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.
