Step 5 of milestone 410 "One owner per piece of guidance". The operator wants any attempt to package Scribe for another agent client to find the repo already in the right shape. plugin/PACKAGING.md (linked from the README) states: - what every client package shares: plugin/skills/ (verbatim), the /mcp endpoint and its in-band responses, the /api/plugin/* adapter endpoints (context, retrieve, prior-art, tool-rules, processes), and one fmcp_ key - what each client adds: a manifest; hooks limited to timing and transport; optional commands; adapter static text that never copies a skill or the index - the Claude Code adapter file by file, as the worked example - how Agent Plugins 1.0 clients (Codex, Cursor, Copilot/VS Code, Kiro, ChatGPT) and Gemini CLI would map, marked researched-not-tested (#4023) - four open questions for the second package: passing the key to the MCP server, whether two manifests can share one folder, hook parity, and where process skills go Hook audit: every hook prints only server-provided text, status or outage lines, the running version, or the compaction reload pointer. No guidance copies, so nothing moved. Guard: test_the_skills_reference_nothing_outside_their_folder fails on a relative path upward or a reference to plugin/, hooks/, commands/ or a manifest from inside a skill, with a companion test showing it can fail.

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.
