In a repo where 3,000 files define `slug`, scribe_local_dups printed nothing; with 3 files it printed the duplicate line. Every hook runs under `set -uo pipefail`, and `hits=$(git grep -l … | head -4) || hits=""` lost head's four lines whenever git grep was still writing when head exited. That is a SIGPIPE, the substitution fails, and the outer fallback wipes the result. So the by-name duplicate arm went silent for exactly the most-duplicated names. Found while fixing the same trap in the new Stop hook (#4041). - The fallback moves inside the substitution, `$(… | head -N || true)`, at all five sites: scribe_defs.sh (local dups), scribe_prior_art.sh (names, old_first, shapes) and scribe_after_write.sh (names). A real upstream failure still yields empty output. - check_plugin gains a known-bad pattern for the shape, so no hook can bring it back. - Tests: the real function against a 3,000-file repo (past the pipe buffer), and the pattern shown to flag the old shape and pass the fix. Plugin version minted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <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.
