A conditional rule is not resident, so a session can be about to violate one it
was never handed. This arm notices: when what is being written resembles a
rule's trigger, the hint names it and says to read it before deciding it does
not apply.

A SUGGESTION, and the plan was wrong about why it could be more. It claimed the
hook "already resolves a path to an area" — it does not, and nothing in Scribe
maps a path to a System or a canonical area (build_write_path_hint resolves
paths against snippet LOCATIONS, a different index; the learned-alias idea
belongs to another project). Correction logged on the task. Rather than invent
path→area inference to make a stale claim true, the arm does what D7 already
decided and what this surface already IS: tags bind at enter_project, meaning
suggests here. The header of the hook says NEVER BLOCKS; dressing a hint up as
binding would have been the actual mistake.

CONDITIONAL RULES ONLY. An always-on rule is already in the session, so
re-offering it is noise — and noise on a hint that fires on every write is how
a hint gets ignored.

Telemetry goes to retrieval_logs, NOT note_usage_events, and that is a
correctness call rather than a preference: note_usage ids are REMAPPED on a
backup restore, so a rule id written there would come back attached to whatever
note took that number — silently corrupting the evidence the next true-up is
supposed to read. retrieval_logs is never restored and `source` already
separates surfaces. record_retrieval's `results` type widened to match what it
actually needs (an `.id`), instead of passing a Rule to something annotated Note.

The rule dedup gets its OWN state file and query parameter, like the three
channels before it — #2708's lesson was that one shared channel lets a hint of
one class silence a different class that had never been shown. Plugin version
bumped: a hook change clients cannot see did not ship (#1040).

The stub is autouse in conftest rather than added to forty-odd call sites: the
arm loads an embedding model, and every existing test that stubs the NOTES
search would otherwise pull a real model in through the one arm it had no way
to know about.

Scribe plugin for Claude Code

Turns a self-hosted Scribe instance into a first-class Claude Code extension:

MCP tools over your notes, tasks, projects, milestones, systems, and rulebook (the scribe server).
Session-start push channel — a SessionStart hook injects your always-on rules + active-project context so Scribe surfaces without being asked.
Prior-art recall on writes — a PreToolUse hook on Write/Edit checks the file about to be written against your recorded snippets (what's kept at that path, and what resembles the code) and offers them before the helper is rewritten. Titles only, never blocks the edit.
Universal process-skills — using-scribe, writing-plans, systematic-debugging, verification, brainstorming, reusing-code (record and recall reusable code as snippets). Replaces superpowers.
Your Scribe Processes as skills — saved Processes are synced into local ~/.claude/skills/scribe-proc-* stubs that auto-surface by relevance; the stub fetches the live procedure via get_process. Refreshed each session and on demand with /scribe:sync.

It is designed so you can uninstall superpowers and disable auto-memory and depend on neither.

Install

The plugin ships inside the Scribe app repo, so the marketplace is that repo — you always get the plugin version that matches your Scribe instance.

/plugin marketplace add https://git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/FabledScribe.git
/plugin install scribe@scribe-plugin

On install you'll be asked for:

Setting	What
Scribe base URL	e.g. `https://scribe.example.com` (no trailing slash)
Scribe API key	an `fmcp_` key from Settings → API Keys (stored in your OS keychain)
Active project id	optional — numeric project id to scope the session-start context

What gets wired

plugin.json mcpServers → the scribe MCP server at <base URL>/mcp (Bearer auth).
hooks/hooks.json → SessionStart hook (hooks/scribe_session_context.sh), fail-open: if Scribe is unreachable it injects nothing and never blocks the session.
hooks/hooks.json → PreToolUse hook on Write|Edit (hooks/scribe_prior_art.sh) → GET /api/plugin/prior-art. Returns additionalContext with no permission decision, so it can inform the write but never stop it; silent when nothing is recorded, which is most of the time. Two framings: a REUSE menu (similar/nearby records), and a SYNC nudge when a snippet records the exact file being edited — "updating the record is part of the edit" — each with its own once-per-session dedup. A third, ledger-fed line names a duplicate family (no canon) or a canon recorded elsewhere for the names being written (its own dedup channel, exclude_derive). Fail-open but not fail-silent: a configured instance that does not answer in time is said, once per outage ("Scribe did not answer … this write went UNCHECKED"), so a session can tell "checked, nothing there" from "never checked"; an answer clears the marker. The local by-name arm needs no server and always runs. Toggle in Settings → Knowledge auto-inject.
hooks/hooks.json → PostToolUse hook on Bash (hooks/scribe_after_write.sh): code written through sed/heredocs/scripts never reaches the PreToolUse hook, so this one diffs the working tree after every Bash call (per-session path+blob snapshot; one git status when nothing changed) and runs the same arms on the definitions just written, through the same endpoint and the same dedup channels. additionalContext only; never blocks, and shares the pre-write hook's once-per-outage "did not answer" line (8 s budget here — it runs after the tool, so it gates nothing). The extractor, the prose/data skip list, the local by-name duplicate arm and the outage line are shared in hooks/scribe_defs.sh.
skills/ → the universal process-skills, surfaced by description match.
hooks/scribe_sync_processes.sh (a 2nd SessionStart hook) + the /scribe:sync command → generate ~/.claude/skills/scribe-proc-* stubs from your Scribe Processes (via GET /api/plugin/processes); also fail-open, and pruned to match what exists in Scribe.

Notes

Set a version bump in .claude-plugin/plugin.json per release so clients pick up changes.
The session-start, auto-inject and prior-art hooks need only a read-scoped key; the MCP tools need write scope to create/update. Every hook is a GET for that reason — a read key cannot POST.
