The only just-in-time rule surface was registered on `Write|Edit` and queried with `code or path`, so a rule could be retrieved at the moment of a code write and nowhere else. Every rule about which tool to reach for — don't curl the forge, don't stand up a stack, don't run the suite locally, don't branch — was unreachable exactly when it mattered, and residency in the always-on preload was the only surface it had. That is the pressure that grew the resident set to 31 against #3089's ceiling of ~23; it was never a judgment anybody made. A reflex generates no query, so an instruction to check the rules cannot catch one. A mechanical trigger can: the tool call IS the query, and a reflex has to become a tool call before it can do anything. `build_tool_rule_hint` is deliberately tool-agnostic — a name and a string — so widening the matcher later is a hooks.json edit with no server change. The hook starts on Bash, which is where the action reflexes live. The two pre-tool arms share ONE session ledger of already-named rules (`<state>/<sid>.rules.ids`). Two ledgers would mean a rule named by one arm gets re-offered by the other, and the hint that fires most often is exactly the one that must not repeat itself. A test asserts both scripts build the same path, and another checks the shell hook and the Python route agree on every query-arg name (rule 33) — a rename there fails silently, looking like a surface that never finds anything rather than a broken one. Deliberately silent on outage, unlike the prior-art hook: a write is occasional, a Bash call is not, and an outage line before every command is what gets a channel muted. `tier="conditional"` matches the write arm and is the transition point — an always-on rule is already resident, so re-tier one and it starts arriving here instead of in every session's preamble. `pre_tool_rule` joins RANKED_SOURCES: this arm chose what it showed, so a pull can settle whether the choice landed.

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.
