Rule 27: no UI, no ship. Three surfaces. THE EDITOR ASKS, but only where the answer can be saved: the fields appear for a plain note and not for a task or a snippet, matching the service gate from step 2 so the form never offers a write the save would reject. The labels are phrased as the QUESTION rather than the field name — "how would someone check this is still true?" and, underneath, "could this become false without anyone editing it?". "Verify with" gets filled in on every note; the question gets filled in on the few that can go stale. `expires_when` appears only once a check exists, and asks for a state rather than a date in the placeholder itself. THE NOTE SHOWS ITS AGE beside the field — "checked 2026-08-28" or "never checked", italic, and nothing at all when no check exists. No red/amber ramp, matching RuleSweepPane: a colour scale would restate the sweep's ordering and force an invented staleness threshold. "Never" is marked because it is categorically different from a date, not a worse one. THE SWEEP is a pane in the Knowledge view, not beside the rules sweep — operator's call, taken over a unified "everything due" surface and over a second pane under /rules. Notes stay where notes live. The cost, accepted knowingly: no single screen shows every unconfirmed record. It REPLACES the feed rather than filtering it, because a facet answers "show me this kind" and this answers "show me what nobody has confirmed" — a question the type chips cannot narrow without under-reporting. Two REST routes for it, since step 3 built only the service and the MCP door. Along the way: NoteEditorView spelled its write payload out at three call sites (save, create, auto-save), so every new field had to be added three times — which is how one of them ends up not carrying it. Now one `payload()` and one `snapshot()`. Known and filed, not fixed: NoteSweepPane copies ~12 scoped CSS rules from RuleSweepPane (#3207). The clean extraction needs prefixed names, because `.age`, `.row-title`, `.lede` and `.actions` all exist scoped in other components and an unscoped global would leak into them — which means editing the shipped rules sweep, blind, inside a step whose acceptance is the operator looking at a different surface.
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.
