Measured before deciding: across the ~100 bespoke button rules, vertical padding does not spread — it clusters. ~27 at 0.4–0.45rem, ~28 at 0.25–0.3rem, ~23 at 0.1–0.15rem. Those are three different components that happen to share a name prefix: a page action, a row action, and an affordance that lives inside a card. Collapsing them to the single size the shared sheet had would have visibly broken every card layout, which is why the one-off migration stopped here for a decision rather than proceeding on the assumption that a button is a button. default 8px 16px page action — what the house style specifies .btn-compact 4px 12px toolbar, table row, list item controls .btn-inline 2px 4px dismiss ×, confirm tick, add-chip .btn-small and .btn-sm already sat at the compact step, so they are kept as aliases for it — no template churn, and the two spellings stop being a third thing that might drift. .btn-inline is deliberately below the spacing scale's first step on the vertical axis: 4px of padding on an 11px label already exceeds the line box these sit in. Stated in the file so it reads as a measured exception rather than someone ignoring the scale. DesignView renders all three as real specimens. A size scale described in prose is one nobody can check; rendered from the actual classes, it cannot claim something the app does not do.

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.
