retrieval_logs answers "what did the ranker return, at what scores" — the right substrate for tuning a threshold. It cannot answer the question the snippet corpus actually needs: did anyone open this? A snippet nobody opens is not neutral. It takes a slot in every future auto-inject menu and crowds out something useful. Adds note_usage_events (migration 0071): one row per note per event, either 'surfaced' (we put its title in front of an agent) or 'pulled' (someone opened it in full), tagged with which surface produced it. Closes the gap #2082 recorded against this work. The write-path PLACE arm carries no score, so it has no home in retrieval_logs — folding it in would corrupt the score distribution that table exists to capture. The result was that the arm firing on the STRONGEST claim ("there is already a canonical helper in this exact file") was the one arm nobody could measure. Both arms now emit usage events under distinct sources, so their pull-through rates are finally comparable. Deliberate departures from the task as written: - Not in-session correlation. The original framing was "correlate result_ids against a later get_note in the same session." There is no session identity server-side — the MCP endpoint is stateless and the hooks send no session id — and adding one would mean threading an opaque client-supplied token through every read path. Two independent counters answer the question without it: surfaced 40×, pulled 0 is dead weight regardless of how those events distribute across sessions. - Pulls record at the ENTRY POINTS (MCP tools, REST detail route), not in snippets_svc.get_snippet, which update and merge also reach. Counting those would inflate precisely the number meant to say "someone chose to look at this." - get_note records for every note kind, not just snippets. The auto-inject menu surfaces tasks and processes too; scoping this to snippets would pin those at zero pulls forever and make them read as dead weight next to snippets that merely had a counter. Surfaced in the Snippets list as an "N/M used" badge, warning-toned once a record has been offered 3+ times and never opened, with the tooltip saying what to do about it (usually: its "when to reach for it" doesn't say when). No badge at all below one surfacing — "0/0" reads as a verdict when it's an absence of evidence. Also returned from MCP list_snippets so the agent can see dead weight without opening the UI. Telemetry keeps the retrieval_telemetry contract throughout: writes are fire-and-forget, reads degrade to zeroes, and no path can raise into the surface it observes.

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, 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.
